A Warning.

We notice that the Canterbury College students are vigorously crusading against the invasion of their learned halls by the "child." They have our heartiest support. Students, when they begin their University career, should have sufficient respect for the dignity of their position to discard the garments of the nursery and the schoolroom. We refer more particularly, in this connection, to the repeated outrages perpetrated upon page 66 our sense of academic decorum by those abandoned men students who have, of late, been perambulating our corridors in knickerbockers. Now, we do not object to the temporary wearing of this garment in cases of emergency, or to refute a false allegation of crural tenuity, but we do object to protracted and unnecessary wearing of the same. We know, for instance, of one student, who, for the past fortnight has flaunted a pair of peculiarly rakish legs clad in peculiarly roomy knickbockers, presumably to win the admiration of spectators. This is, surely, very bad form—besides, the girls do not really like it. At any-rate, we think that the time for some decisive action in the matter has come, and we have to warn that student, that if he further indulges this evil penchant, it will be our sorrowful duty to hold him up to public opprobrium and derision.
