anticipated. and the students something to the
influence of their parents in ameoratng the some
what stern course that the faculty had decided to
pursue. Although to-day Ash Wednesday the
students manifested little disposition to participate
IT'S observances and generally held to their deter
ininaton to cut chapelas well everything else until
peace was restored. Early in the forenoon the
faculty had quite extended conference. Bishop
Williams consulted WITH and at later hour met
several of the parents Forty or more fathers were
present during the day, and finally it decided to
holds joint meeting of the students and their friends
This was held in of the recitation rooms about
, three O'Clock this afternoon Bishop Williams made
address in his usual kindly spirit. advising the
students that, they had actually violated rule of
the college in refusing to submit their song for
approval it would be no more than right to express
the faculty their regret that they had taken such
course.

AN INDIGNANT FATHER.
One gentleman was quite earnest on this point.
and said that after Inspection of the college rules
he satisfied that there several petty re-
strictions quite unnecessary and CALLING in their
tendency. With quizzical smile he remarked that
the faculty embraces too many bachelors who have
grown up in the ruts of Trinity, and whose
Auturcs cannot be in sympathy with the ex-
uberant spirits of the young committed
to their charge. He favored discipline of q
heahful character. but disapproved of any measure
calculated to destroy all Independence and reduce
the boys to many machines. The represen tat.on
OF parents increased to-day by arrivals from
Pttsburg. Baltimore and other distant points, and
the faculty has been sharply criticised by these gen.
tlcmen for unnecessarily sending for parents

except that his dangerously i'll. He rushed
away from his business what, he said, turned ont
TO be a fools errand. Other gentlemen had similar
experiences to relate, and suggestion was made by
indignant party that for the transmitting of such
an dotic telegram as he received the college author
ties should be compelled to reimburse him fsr his
expenses and time lost from his business.
