We publish with pleasure a communication taking exception to one of our recent editorials. We anticipated a difference of opinion between us and some of our readers, when we inserted the editorial referred to. Giving the arguments our correspondent has cited all the weight they contain, we would state firmly that our stand is still unshaken. Our position was well considered before it was taken, and we see, as yet, no cause for retracting a single statement we made. Care needs to be taken by our opponents, as to just what points we have maintained. We do not object to boxing. Indeed, if reports are true, a scientific knowledge of that art may be of benefit to our selves. We have simply claimed in regard to the principle of the petition that the boxing interest in college is not sufficiently general to justify the expense of a salary for an instructor. We wait for further arguments before we abandon this claim.
