We DO not call in question the truth Of the

Bat the Trustees make a distinction between
gfe,sl and indiUidaGl action. president Me-
s5sm," il is said, was nriiher required or re-
9s'sisd BY the Board OF Trusie-,to resign" l.
Hsamitted, however, that Tan Informal meet
iHS Of some Of The Trustees Of the College " as
held Tor the purpose Of consultation 4" The
eonsulIslion having been had, "three Of the
TrSstses" weut to Dr. Macosm aud .'advised
hin 10 resign the Presidency" But know
Courteous reader, that the consultation aud the
advice Sers not ofe'al. The Trustees consult,
Cd sHd advised as t~diUidusls. They avail them.
