SECRET SOCIETIES AT PRINCETON
PROBABLE ACTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

PROBABLE ACTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
The despatch from princeton in yesterdays HERALD
announcing the dismissal OF twenty-five college stu
dents for belonging societies. in violation Of an
old rule Of the college, read with grave concern by
many New York parents whose boys have
been placed under the Of President McCosh
and his most rgidy orthodox associates
They naturally wondered If their sons names
were in Professor Atwaters list Of boys who had been
adjudgcd guilty Of misdemeanors which required their
dismissal and If such should prove TO be the case they
we're anxious know what would be the action Of the
Board of Trustees in tho matter.
For the purpose Of possibly settling this last question
a HERALD reporter called last evening upon tho
Rev. DR.. william Adams, OF this city, President
Of the Union Theological Seminary and ono or
the most eminent members or tho Princeton College
Board. He received the reporter with marked
courtesy and declared that tho HERALD despatch had
given him his first notification OF Professor Atwaers
summary order Of suspension against the offending
seniors, and that he had received no ntimaton that
special meeting Of the trustees to be held IN fact
no had not even been made aware that there rule
OF the college against the formation Of students socie
ties secret or public, until he declared In the
HERALD. II must, ho was sure, DO very old rule
certainly framed before nc became a trustee for il had
been 80 far he knew, dead rule since his ofcIa
connection with the college
In response to an Inquiry as to his opinion or the
seriousness OF the offence committed by the students
in having Joined the college societies. In having
uechcu w Ioec Hvh tneh wien directed 70 90 30 by
Professor Atwator, he said small troubles were seem
ingly unavoidable In college life that unless really
the best course Is That which gives the least
necessity for unpleasant publicity 1t clear even
in bis more guarded responses that sternly rigorous
as he is on theological questions, he has still well
defined belief that boys will be boysn even when
they arc sufficiently good TO be students OF Prince
ton, which IN bis opinion Is saying a great deal
for young man, and that with such students
tho milder course ls IN large majority Of cases the
best and BY far the most satisfactory In the ond Con.
corning the gravity Of the offence cominntcd-if an
offence II should prove to be-he could not al present
form an opinion not having all the facts before him
but be seemed to feel certain that wisdom would rue
in the end and that too perhaps, without even
necessity tor calling special meeting Of the trustees
TO take action IN regard to il The Doctor did not
seem TO think that Il would bo made necessary to
