authority of their Bishop, Dr. Donlan. They have not, it is true, invested him with the right of veto which he demanded, but they have agreed to break up their institution.

The students should have resisted, and relied on the Catholic puree-bearers, who when fairly roused can reduce the most fanatic of bishops to decency and moderation.
