Woodrow announced that if aprofessor, he
must affirm that evolution is probably true,
the Board was compelled to disobey the in
structions of the controlling Synods or else
to remove DR.. Woodrow from his professor
ship, which latter they did, in accordance
with the provision of the Constitution which
SAYS 'the Board of Directors shall have
power to remove from his office any profess
sor who shall be found unfaithful in his
trust or incompetent to the discharge OF his
duties"
A few months have wrought complete
revolution in the position of the Board OF
Directors toward DIR. Woodrow. Last Sep
tember his teachings were approved by nine
members and opposed by four; now nine
members oppose the teachings and four APP
prove them-all of the latter being from the
Synod of South Carolina, three OF whom
hold over by elections previous to this year.
The action of the Board created no sur
prise or excitement among the Seminary
students, as the result was what they en-
pected from the action of the Synods, on
which they had been fully informed. Pro-
fessor Girardeau is the only professor left in
the Seminary.
The discussions in the Board ELECTED no
acrimony and the courteous action of the
able President, Hon. James Hemphill, won
for him the plaudits of the entire Board.
The Board adjourned at 10 +. NJ, We'd
