Union Theological Seminary Makes an Is
sue with the Assembly.
NEW YORK, June 6,-For three hours
yesterday afternoon the directors of the
Union Theological seminary sat in secret
session discussing the case of DIR. Briggs.
A resolution was adopted at the meeting
upholdingthe former action of the direc,
tors regarding the transfer of DIR. Briggs
from the davenport professorship of He
brew to the Edward Robinson professor
ship of Biblical theology. The resolution
was Is follows: That the board of direc-
tors, after having taken legal advice and
after due consideration, see no reason to
change their minds on the subject OF the
trans fer of DR.. Briggs, and feel bound in
the direction of their duties under then
charter and constitution to adhere to the
same"
Only Two Dissenting Votes.
"This is all" said Treasurer Kingsley,
"that we can make public of the meeting
with the exception that there were two
dissenting votes upon the passage of the
resolution. The other points raised are
deferred until after we hear from the gen
eral assembly," The fact that struggle
was III progress behind closed doors was ev-
ldent when Professor George a. Prentisl
staggered out into the hall after the dis
cussion had been under way for two hours,
and nearly sank to the floor through weak
ness brought on by over-excitement. The
Venerab BILE professors body shook like a
leaf, and he had to be assisted to a private
room until he had recovered.
