TO the Edttor Of TAe Tribune
SIR. Permit Inc to correct two errors in the state
ment Of my good friend Professor Baird, as given

ment virtually promised 10 the University was not
forthcoming. ought 10 have resigned. That il ex-
actly what did. But she trustees q. e. the Council
and the Faculty begged me TO remain. The
Faculty's communication, written in Professor
Bard's handwriting runs TINS:
That they wish here 10 express their high appre-
citation OF the very valuable service which the
Chancellor has 40 freely and with so much cost 20
himself afforded 10 his Alma Mater during the past
seven years. That they wish 10 express the hope
that he who has stood by Us 30 faithfully ID the
past; and WITH whom We have coopcIaled so cor
daily. will not fail us IN the present crisis even AT
the expense OF time and labor upon which We have
claim.

For years l have longed TO be released from my

lease me. have the highest esteem for tho Pro-
fessors, for whom would ever consider it priyi-
lege to labor.

lugubrous accounts of the Undergraduate depart
ment TO the Council. / must meet this with a Pos-
tive and unqualified denial and the whole Council
will confirm my statement. have always reported
the excellence OF Faculty and the good order Of
the undergraduate department, and have only,
when lately change was proposed given the facts
regarding our poverty. Let me add that IN the
present movement am in sense originator.

anyone else would. ! was not consulted, and the
proposition great a surprise 10 me as 10 the

position OF my acusers, but will bear II in assured
hope that they viii discover their mistake. Yours
