Considerable interest has been manifested in the question of the right of the overseers of Harvard College to pass the vote which is now on record, that in view of the disturbances which occur upon college grounds during commencement week, and the public scandal and evil to the college resulting therefrom, the corporation hold themselves at liberty to revoke the degree of any graduate of the university for participating in such disturbances, provided he has not held the degree for more than one week. Mr. B. R. Curtis has advanced, through the columns of a contemporary, an opinion on the subject which wins approbation from some of our best legal authorities and most devoted friends of the university. The concluding part of his last article is subjoined : "The overseers voted to reserve the right to revoke degrees not held longer than one week. This language is plain. It indicates unmistakably that the degree may be voted, handed over, and then probably reclaimed. The writer's argument discusses the power of the overseers to take a much milder stand - to abstain from the final execution of the charter-power until certain conditions are fulfilled. This question is not at issue. The college authorities can surely announce that they will not vote to confer degrees unless they see fit to do so. But to say - if the English means anything - that they will meet, formally vote the degrees, either with or without a condition, hand them over, and then revoke them, if they see fit, suggests a course of action which so intimately concerns the best interests of the college that its friends may be pardoned if they respectfully ask for explanation." - [Transcript.
