Tite boys Illade a mistake, however, in leav ing (lte college and making demands which clearly could not he consid ered. After all, the facility must be the rtiling authority in the college or its work cannot be continued. It cannot be hidden that smte things at the college, incluttdintmg thIte discipline and the table fare needed attention. The strike of the students, though Ill-advised, will help to rtetedy these things. This tmuch has heett gained.
