DR.. HUNTER
seconded tho amendment Of Mrs. Willard.
,do fsv romarks a'i. tspson qoant ue believed tba
the Faculty of the University was the prop
er body to regulate tho ruios governing th
studoats OF tho Woman's College. It u an I'LL
wise precedent to attempt to instruct the Facr,l
ty upon their course Of government. The Com
ulitteo, he said, could not fool that tia Faoult
had failed in their duty; and find TINT "hateyc
troubles have asiHen, haye been caused by mis-
understanding.
/ MRS. HoaE
replied by stating that women Nere more con,
! petent to fix tho Bocial rnics Of tho Woman
College than the wiaost Faculty Of men In til
country.

Judge Dradwoll asked it the Advisory Com
n1lttes had ever given tho Faculty tho benefit q
their yioWB.
Mr,. Hogo replied that they bad, whoroupo
Mr. Queal ashed ii they hul ulado thoir any
gsstion1 until two nights previously. Mrl
Qogo stated that they had not.
JUDGE aooDH1cH
stated that eome of the difficulties ho Ind antic
patod had come to the surface None OF til
Board, the Dean OF the Womau's College, NJ
the Faoulty, know exactly what rulea waro d.
1landed, from lack Of experience In dealing Nit
all experiment. His objection to the anent
mont w81 tlat eithsr the Faculty should |
turuod out as incompetent or allow them
mako the rulos for tho government Of til
students. Tile Board can advise the Faculty
but cauuot instruct them, aud thus claim t
know more than they do, without condemain
! thotn ~ incompetent. Personally, ho ob1aotu
to some OF the rules but Ae could not think tha
tho Faculty, who are wrapped up in the uniYerB
the renultH Of their government, will not DO .
| III their power to mako just rulcs. II tho Faen
ty hayo failed to SECURE the end aimed ns BY ttl
, rules, the Board cannot consider them aa lneon
| potent. Thoy may have made Inlstakos, but tl
might have boen expected In entering an untrit
,, field. [Applauuol
