Never has a meaner or more cowardly charge been brought against Harvard University than that made in yesterday morning's issue of the New York Sun. In the article in question, the insinuations made against Capt. Cabot are absolutely false and nothing short of libel; in fact they are exactly what one would expect from some sensational newspaper, rather than from a paper of the Sun's standing.

Never has Harvard, or any other college, had a man in whom more confidence could be placed, and who is more thoroughly earnest, fair, and high-minded in all his work, than Capt. Cabot. Yet the New York Sun, in spite of its reputation for clean journalism, has seen fit to trump up scurrilous charges which it can not possibly verify.

In attacking Captain Cabot the Sun has attacked Harvard and deserves the strongest condemnation of every one connected with this University.
