,d6hose exceptions, occurring as. carly as
bbhe wear 1878, and before hisslaaIElage,
Ibhe testimony has failed to develop
sanything against Mr. W'ooodbilry. On
idghe contrary, it appeaGs that his life
i has been exemplary, and his dnties as

81 a.Of 4. T.. Williams, q former teacher
lin the Institute, after quoting from
i his testimony and the testimony Of
) athers, the Board says:
The conclusion cannot De avoided
tsthat IL. Williams has, for saIae rea-
kson or other, made desperate attempts
Ito blacken the character of .sonae of
l. those connected with the Institute.
ISince this investigation began, over
.E6ftE letters written by him, largely to
Laid in the circulation of the scandal,
4 have come into our hands. Some of
kthe-letters have been written 10 .1nem-
|. hers. of this Board, and conveying the
Ihidea. that he)was to have no opportuni-
1ty to- develop the truth of his charges
HIN. the investigation. 1t is proper ,in
3I.this connection to say that MAJ. Wal
|lianns has been specially urged by the
a.malnbers of the Board to be present
'tdnEing the investigation, and that he
hllesiAeen present a portion OF the time.
/ When, we have been able to bring him
under oath-face to face with his most
seriaus charges Gas against the trustees,
l,etc. he has retracted and acknoWl-
ieedgad their falsity. He has eNerted
J. his influence against the school by
:, whiting letters to parents and guard
,ans of .mutes. BY insinuations and by
naoiltc charges, he has made it appear
;, that the management Of the school
was .rSessplting in the general dem0Gali-
/ zation, Of the female pupils. He hinl-
e' self furnishes the Board with the
" nslnestofs several female pupils who
have 4nagua aimed away from the school
d becatsse of these scandalou stories, an(!
s some of these scandals, those which be
< has ,oeafessed, were groundless, 3nd
j ought not to have been started"
" An .eMiGlance Of the desperate char-
It'll acter of this man (Williams) may be
l. found in the testimony Of MI. N. l.
S. Gregory herewith submitted, wherein
MI. GlegGGE, sW ears that he Civilians,

70 The business affairs Of the Institute
h are economically managed. Harmony
N exists between the officers and teachers
II and pupils. and the citizens in tht

n of us having been intimate with The
as management of the Institute for sever
IS al years, express it as s0lr opinion thai
ri the school was newer in better condi
