A recent editorial from the Philadelphia "Public Ledger" is printed in full below. It is an example either of a desperate effort to fill space or of a deliberate attack on the University, based on conjecture. Dealing with the letter which President Hibben sent out to parents concerning the ownership of automobiles by students, it pictures the authorities driven to despair by youthful prodigals roaring about the campus in high-powered motors.

The "Ledger" pictures many of our institutions of higher learning going to ruin because "the undergraduates are rapidly taking control of the universities out of the hands of the faculties" compare this with the very letter on which the tirade is based. The President says: "The success of the Honor System in examinations and the high moral standards of Princeton men are due to this justified confidence in student government in all personal matters".

The editorial writer's attitude is more easily understood, though, as we read on. For much of his understanding of college life seems to be based on Fitzgerald's dubious masterpiece. "This Side of Paradise"! May 'we venture to hope that he does not read that "embittered analyst's" latest work. "The Beautiful and the Damned", and with the same supreme confidence in "Scotty", turn misanthrope--as convinced of the fundamental depravity of all mankind as he now is of the degeneracy of Princetonians! --"The Daily Princetonian"
