stitute, without stating ''the fact, - which
he has SO much misrepresented, and with.
out duplicating any one in guilt which he
could and should have done, there would
have been no need for any of the public
discussion. If there was any misnnder-
standing, was in the Normal Building
with him every day, and be could have
consulted with me about the matter.
But suppose it is generally understood
that he does not consult the different
members of the faculty. Now, SIS this is

hereafter feel at liberty to withdraw from
any further public discussion of the mat
ter.
Prof. Pomeroy thinks little of the point
made in my first article, in showing that
the notice he published, was private
one, and bore no evidence upon its face
that the Institute was to be under the
auspices of either the Normsl School or
its Board OF Regents. He says that 1t is
generally understood in this community
that I am president of the Normal
School," Granted, but that does not sig
nifty that that every act and word of C.
K. Pomeroy is done by Vertue Of his posi-
ton as president Of the Normal School.
roy was to call a mass meeting of any
kind, say, for Sabbath-sehe0t, or a tenn
perance gathering, that such call would
be under the direction of the Board of
Regents OF the Normal School, as such.
The Normal School as such, nor the Eoa ID
of Regents as such, have no more to do
with the Normal Institutes. than they
would with the Sabbath-schooI or tenn
perance convention; but we must inter
that they had because c. E. Pomeroy's
name is connected with them. We hardly
think that the Board of Regents can ad-
NIT This to be responsible for the doings
of G. II. Pomeroy. The truth is, that
there is nothing whatever in the contents
of the notice, nor in its signature which
would indicate in the slightest degree
that the Normal School, or the Board OF
Regents, had the remotest connection
with Normal Institute. On the contrary
it plainly indicates by q careful selection
of language that it was private call for
an Institute TO be under the supervision,
control and management of C. &. Pome-
roy, who alone would be responsible tLat
the Institute would be all that it was ad-
vertised to be. We confess that we are
sadly mistaken if single citizen Of EN-
poria or elsewhere, who read the notice,
thought the Institute would be anything
else than p.ivate affair, gotten up for
private gain.
If this was NOT private affair, it would
have been very easy for Prof. Pomeroy
to have stated in his notice that it was
under the auspices of the Normal School,
or its Board of Regents, or fioaIly indi-
CITE that fact by at least an official sigma
ture. p. j. CARMICHAEL.
