Yale's Secret Societies

Yale's Secret Societies

It will be recollected that some weeks since several students at Yale College were pretty severely disciplined for publishing a witty paper, or "College Maul," in which the faculty of the institution were lampooned. The New Haven correspondent of the Boston Traveler says that the offense and discipline have both been repeated within a few days. A new number of the paper has appeared, in which the weak points of the faculty are held up to ridicule. On Thursday evening, the members of the secret society by whom the paper is edited wre summoned before the faculty, and eight of them expelled. There is, as usual on such occasions, great excitement among the students, and the course of the faculty is loudly condemned as injudicious and unnecessarily severe.
