ZThe college difficulties, briefly no.
Hceh last week, resulted finally in every
fclgss Withdrawing from attendance on
tte college exercises, and in the sus-
pension of every student by the faculty.
fOf the remote causes of the trouble il
is not necessary to speak. The imme-
date causes, as alleged by the students,
were the sudden and unforewarned
carrying out of certain regulations
against kicking foot ball about the
buildings, and against disturbances in
the chapel, called "cane-rushes". C.G.
Leavenworth, popular member of the
sophomore class, some time ago was
given twenty dement's for kicking a
football into the chapel door. The stu
dents claim that all of them had been
doing the same thing the whole term,
and that the act had been repeatedly
seen by members of the faculty without
notice being taken of it. Consequently
the sudden notice of LeavenWorth's
case, and especially the heavy demerit,
was considered excessively severe. The
next cause of i'll feeling arose from
"cane rushing" On Tuesday morning
of last week the Freshmen brought a
cane into the chapel, and the Sophie
inores altackeo them ana ehdeavored to
take away the cane. The rush was re-
peated on ednesday morning. On
Thursday morning President Hubert
announced mat all the members OF the
sophomore class were charged with
twehty-Iour dement's each and the
freshmen WIN sixteen dement's each
