Not so-The Expelled Student Exonerate1
and Received Back-satisfactOry Ex-
pIanatiOn-The Bali Games.
Yesterday noon member of the faculty \
announced to the senior class that the charge
of theft recently brought against member of
the college had been, after a thorough inves-
tigation, proven to be utterly without foun-
dalton. The accused was the victim of
chain of circumstances which had seemed
suspicious, but which had been very satisfac
torily explained. The professor congratu=..
lated the college on this vindication,
but thought the hasty charge wishout
proof to have been unfortunate and wrong.
He took occasion to criticise the city press
which he accused of proving itself nuisance
by publishing garbled and sensational re-
ports. He probably was not aware that all
the facts as published in the COURIER of
Wednesday were gained from the
faculty directly. The announcement
that the charge was unfounded was
greeted by loud and prolonged applause.
A deep sympathy for him is expressed and
sincere rejoicing that he has so completely
proven his innocence.
Yesterday afternoon the base ball nine

exhibition game against Harvard. At the

The ball game between mines composed

About a dozen juniors and middIers from
the Divinity school will leave next week for
missionary work in Dakota, Wisconsin and
Minnesota.
Several juniors will give german in Gam
ma NJ hall Monday evening.
At the New Athletic Grounds.
| The Preliminary Games Yesterday-The
Showing Made.
The preliminary athletic games were held

/ for their trouble. The sophomore games
were fairly interesting, especially the 220
yards hurdle race, but no surprising records
were made. In the Shelf. games, however,
two Yale records were broken, the half mile
run by Mitchell in minutes AZ seconds, and
