Editors IntelgOnoeE,
The latest news, and l might add the
latest sensation, hereAbouts Is the resiRna.
tion ot President ], R. Thompson as the
head OF the University, We understand
that he has given notice 10 DR., H. W.
Brock, resident agent Of the institu ution,
that be will tender his resignation to take
effect on the 18th OF March next, hiR
purpose being after that date TO scCepk a
call to the New York Conference, either
TO Newark or Jersey City, both OF which
places have asked for his appointment
There 10 a feeling Of universal regret
among the students at this step on the
part Of the President, and also almost
equally unanimous among his colleagues
OF the faculty and the citizens OF this com.
munity,
ln returning To the ministry, his chosen
vocation and most successful tield OF labor.
ML Thompson 10 but taking q long.con.
templated step, hastened, perhaps, by the
jarting and discordant elements thrust
into the University, both in ils faculty
and the Executive Committee, The Pres
tdent represented modern thought, pro.
gressiVe and cosm. .politan ideas, while a
TeaCtiOnRry and provincial, and highly
conservative and aristoCTallC element.
made itself obnoxious, both by overt and
concealed methods, With eleven OF The
twelve regents, and large majority OF
both the faculty and Executive Oommit-
tee selected from the conservative and
Bourbon Democracy, II Is not much won.
der that the President should feel hamper.
ed In his efforts ahd grow weary OF the
continued struggle to bring the school into
harmony with modern thought and
with the spirit Of the age.
Mr. Thompson took the Office with less
than fifty students on the rolls, and he
will leave 1t with over l26 In actual at.
tendance. He found the institution pros.
trated by ecclesiastical chickering's, and he
has raised It 10 the highest success vet At.
tanned. But with All this he could not
please the chronic grumbers, the bitter
parilsans, and the men who seek to make
gain out oi the school. These persons by
encouraging insubOrdnation among the
pupils, and differences among the mem.
bers Of the faculty and Of the executive
committee, have furnished the only plRusl-
BILE pretext for he removal oi the Uniyer-
slty from this place.
AS Tor President Thompson, he will
bear with him to his new field OF labor the
kind regards and the high esteem and best
wishes Of host OF friends.
