that it does not contain an trticlc or iw

place between a merchant and a young

We are sorry to say that by some mys

me very damaging to tlie University
boarding hall. Because of some of these
Inlsic reports a few of those who were
rooming at tin Dormitory lefi it, and
others hourding there were induced to go
el-ewhere. Those perxout who have
said anything 'iainaging about the way
the hall it conducted have done so from
some maliciottb purpose unexpalinablo, or
pei haps, more huh irom p'Tsoiial inter

the truth, al all times will be spoken
