the bill as Mr.. Aycock did, and he could
see no objection to the bill.

Mr.. Lucas could not see any use for
such a law. He said the trustees of
these schools had ample power now to
adjust any wrong.

allowed the actions of professors to be
reviewed without specifying any
charges.

could not be preferred, and yet the
trustees might know that a professor
might be unworthy.
