EE serious difficulty has occurred at the
Asbury University, Greencastle, Ind, be-
tween the faculty and the students, which
has caused the withdrawal of nearly the
whole number OF students. 1t originated in
an attempted interference by the faculty in
the proceedings of two literary societies con.
nected with the College. The faculty decreed
their meetings should be held by daylight, 10
the afternoon; the students insisted on hold
ing their meetings in the evening. The SUBJ
iect led to an angry discussion, which ended
IN demand from the government Of the In /
stitution, requiring every student to sign q
paper pledging himself to submit uncondi. +
tionally to such laws and rules as the faculty
should prescribe, for the future, those who
refused to submit were threatened with i'm 4
mediate expulsion. The boys deemed it best
not to wait to be driven away, and left in a
body numbering about 200 for their homes
