NOTES FROM RENO.
A Cosby Letter on the uni

|
eruption in the State University
1t is the opinion of the ultra mora
portion OF this community that the
Regents by their action have .aker
out and destroyed the only mora
character that We have among us,
and lett the concern in the hand OF
the devil.
AS witness the following from the
Free Lance:
eff the University, as we have
some fears from present circum-
stances it may, shall be turned
either really or fguratively into a
ballroom, wine cellar, tobacco ware
house, or school of profanity, the
Institution must suffer well-de-
served loss. The parents OF most
children prefer not to have their
children under the influence of
dancing, card-playing, wine-drink-
ing, smoking or swearing instruct
ors. We hope that the high stand
ard of morality free from these
vices, raised by the late President,
may be maintained by his sue
cessor. ;"
That there are some bad eggs in
the University faculty may be sur
missed in the following from the
Lance:
"The case we cited last week of
children being under the direct and
powerful influence of a drinking,
(not to say drunken) gambling,
profane educator I'D hired by
saloon keeper, and his drunken,
wife beating bar tender, IS a dis
grace to our civilization"
This latter quotation is thought
to refer in some indirect way to the
late President, for be is the only
one who hired and kept in employ
the drunken wite-beater referred to.
How unkind in the Lance to thus
praise and damn the "late Presi-
dent" in one breath
The hardest cut comes from the
Gazette, which says this: "Miss
Upper resigned to maintain her
womahnood. Lord what bad
fellow that "late President" must |
be. The immaculate Powning SAYS
that he hopes no mistakes have |
been made. elf there have been,
let the whole corps be fired and the
Board OF Regents with them"
The corps he speaks of are At the
best, young and giddy fellows, who
Of course owe company, and it is
believed that all the talk about
them and their immoral tendencies
grows out of the fact they being
strangers among as, joined social
