Great injustice has been done to Dr. Sargent by careless statements made by college reporters, in the daily press. We would call our reader's attention to Mr. Garrison's communication in another column, which wholly exonerates Dr. Sargent from any blame in the unexpectedly early return of the lacrosse team to Cambridge. We would also say in regard to the two members of the freshman nine, mentioned in the daily papers, that it was through their own negligence that they were not examined physically, until just before the Yale game, and that they were allowed to play in that game, but upon their own responsibility alone, and contrary to Dr. Sargent's advice. It is also true that they have presented as yet no certificate from any physician in town, certifying that they are in fit condition to play. We speak of these things in justice to Dr. Sargent and to the good name of our college, which has been hurt by the imputation that incompetent men are employed here as instructors.
