Soochow, Jan. 15.
Soochow University closed at 6 p.m, on Saturday. Last week the physical director (a Chinese professor) disciplined one of the students while on drill. The whole student body then went on a strike. The faculty gave the boys until 6 p.m. on Friday to resume their class work, and on Friday afternoon the time limit was extended to 6 p.m. on Saturday.
To those of us on the outside, this strike is but another evidence of the students' revolt against authority, which spirit seems to be}! shown in most of the schools and colleges throughout'the land. -It is to be hoped that Soochow University may be able to resume work after the Chinese New Year with a clean house.
