FALSE WITNESS

With the customary lack of authentic information, another rumor of President Lowell's resignation has appeared in the headlines. Prompt denials of the story made by University officials serve to discredit this type of baseless news, several similar exhibitions of which have been made in the Boston press during the last few years.

The insistent attempts of the daily newspapers to worm out definite statements on this affair have all proved unsuccessful. The papers might, at last, learn that announcements will be made impartially to all members of the press, when the time comes to make them. Importunate pressure and ill-timed gossip of this kind is an embarrassment to all concerned.
