UndeEnilL remained the stronger grew
t." feeling among The students. The
yoalS White n2n occupied no profes.
sional position, and tn;s made mat
ters worse and aroused the feeling
more stToDs J agaist hin. To add to
these, he is rsthG- prepossesaing in ap-
pearence and address. During the
past two months caucuses have been
held, in which Undachiil and the dor
mitoTy were the ali absorbing themes
Of discussion. Delegation after dele.
cation called upon President Hickman
and requested the removal of the
white boy FROM the girls dormitory
Dr. Hickman has steadily refused the
requests, saying Underhill has the
consumption. He is no more than a
girl, and thece need be no uneasiness
on his account. Another cause of re-
sentiment IS the contempt with which
the white boy regards the black STU
dents. lie has strong views on the
race question, and, contrary to the
| practice ofthe other white inmates of
the University. refuses to associate
socially with the students. Matters
have been moving on in this fashion,
| but growing worse and worse every
day, ever since the white boy took up
his residence with the negro girls and
his grandmother. The final denoue-
ment occurred on Christmas ni2ht,
when the students engaged in a holi-
| day festival in the college hail. Ad-
| Joining this hall is the music room.
During the festival Underhill entered
with one of the white teachers and
passed through to the music room,
which was unoccupied. In a few
minutes several students followed him
Cnderhill requested the negro stu
dents 20 return 10 the nain hall
which h. said had been turned over to-
them for the occasion, while the mu-
SIC hall would be occupied by the
whites, meaning himself and the lady
accompanying him.
''You are living in the college, why
should you refuse to associate with
u.s." asked one Of the students.
Living in the building and asso-
ciatirg with you are different things
was the answer.
Then you had better get out. We
are not used to being snubbed by the
white people here"
y hot DISCUSSION onsued, and the re-
suit was a request Of President Hick
man the following morning, by a mum
ber oI the students, for the removal O.
Cnderhiii. The President refused.
