The report which appeared in the New York papers, that the Princeton faculty had rescinded its rule forbidding practice with professionals, proves to have been premature. The position we occupied, however, when we supposed the report to be true, remains unchanged. It is certain that a large proportion of students and graduates at Princeton as well as at Harvard are strongly opposed to the strict enforcement of the rule.

The prospect of a general adoption of the rule does not grow brighter as time goes by, but, on the contrary, appears dimmer than ever.
