THE following is indicative of the spirit of the times:—
The students of the Michigan Agricultural College recently struck. They have ended the strike and resumed their studies, have accepted a proposition from the Faculty, which is, that if they will resume class work a new committee will rehear their grievances. The strike was caused by the Faculty suspending seventeen students for participating in a freshman-sophomore class rush, and the proposition is that if that can be proved to be unjust, sentence will be changed, and if the judgment of the committee is not satisfactory the students can apply to the State Board of Agriculture.
If things go on, in process of time, after the general spirit of the time, in order to keep the students it will be necessary to provide an appeal at least from every public school to the governor of the state.—Christian Advocate.
