PRESIDENT ANDREWS.
He is offered a Place In the Chicago
University.
TO TEACH POLITICAL SCIENCE.
The Faculty of Brown University Presents
the President With a Memorisl-His
Departure Would te n Calamity to the
University-what the students Think.

There was considerable excitement
among the students at Brown University
yesterday afternoon, over the statement
that President Harper, of the Chicago
University mad offered President Andrews
place in the faculty of that school. DIR.
Harper has made frequent visits TO Brown
University and it is reported that he said
on one occasion that he would rather have
President Andrews than any other man
from the East. The students are unani-
nous in their sentiment that Preside mt
Andrews ought To remain at Brown and
they do not anticipate that he will accept
the ofier and give up the presidency Of the
college here. which has been so successful
under his management, and take q subor-
dinate position, even in so flourishing an
institution as Chicago University.
At a meeting of the faculty Yesterday
afternoon the following memorial was pre-
pared and signed
PROVIDENCE, March 10, 1892.
Rer. H. Bent Andrws. ID. d., LII. d., president Of
BroDn University.
DEAR Strive have heard with extreme
apprehension that proposals have been made
10 you elsewhere OF such a sort as must strong
that your withdrawal would be a calamity OF
the first magnitude TO this university, we unite
in respectfully urging you To make, for its sake,
whatever sacrifices are involved in remaining
here.
Your administration of the college during
the past three years has not only won our adj
miration and strengthened the warm personal
feeling with which we welcomed you 10 the
presidency, IL has also filled us with hope and
confidence for the future. hope that the uni
yersity Is but just entering upon a period of
growth and prosperity unexampled hitherto
and confidence that the community will rally
10 It's support and secure to IL the results of
its recent expansion.
As colleagues and as friends devoted TO the
university and warmly devoted 10 the sup
port OF your administration, we all urge YOU
not To leave us and the college at "A time when
the fruits of your labors are only beginning
10 appear, and we pledge ourselves 20 do all i'm
our power 20 tighten the sacrifices involved
and TO further that advancement Of the uni
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-03-18

versity which we believe will be the reward Of
those sacrifices.
President Andrews was asked by a
News representative this forenoon about
the offer and he said that he had received 1t
as stated but was not willing to say any
thing as TO what he would do about it.
The loss would be felt quite as much by
the community at large as by the college,
should President Andrews decide to 20
away from the city, as he has identified
himself with all public interests and is
considered one Of the leading citizens and
scholars of New England.
Later to-day President Andrews stated
to the NEWS representative that President
Harper's offer was in connection with the
teaching of political science. lie had not
made up his mind about it and was sorry
that the information had become public.
He received the offer yesterday.

Mr. Borrowe, learning this fact after the
steamer had left the Mersey, overlook the
vessel at Queenstown yesterday. He is
accompanied by Harry Naue Milbank,
whose reputation as a duellist Is known
throughout Europe.
Vague rumors of prospective duel be-
tween Mr.. Burrowe and Mr.. Drayton,
growing out of suspicious regarding Bur
rowe's friendship with Mrs. Drayton have
been rife for some time.
TIL Draytons have been abroad since
last summer. At is stated that some time
in January Mr.. Drayton found Mr.. Bur
rowe and Mrs. Drayton luncbing at Mid
land Grand Hotel He indulged in the
dramatic explanation, "Ah Caught you
again When arc you two going TO bolt?"
Then he left the room and wrote letter
inviting Mr.. Burrowe TO cross TO Paris to
have little amicable discussion with him
After some epistolary fencing, Mr.. Burrowe
agreed, aud the result was n prOcCS verbal,
drawn up by the seconds of the respective
parties, and dated. Hotel Chatham, Paris,
Feb. l3 1892, in which il was set forth
that n duel having been declined by Bor-
rowe's seconds acting for him on the
ground that the facts did not warrant
Drayton's demand, he having accepted "A
monetary consideration u Jury of honor
was suggested by them as an alternative.
- In answer to- the pr0ceS Ccrbdl Mr. Dray-
ton wrote renewing his demand for duel,
and Messrs. Milbank and Fox, Mr.. Bor
rowes seconds, then called the Due de
Morny and NJ. Aureiieu into consulta-
ton. These gentlemen pronounced that
Drayton had forfeited all right TO n duel
because he had as charged by Borrowe.

should pay him 5000 a year and $4,000 n
year for the children, but that il she kept
up her acquaintance with Borrowe the
children and their $751; 900 income should
come under the charge of Mr.. Drayton.
Milbank and Fox then sent final letter
to Drayton, closing the correspondence
with the statement that too long time
had elapsed since the first cause OF offence
had been given, and that coupled with
the fact that the injured party had ac-
cepted aud enjoyed an annual monetary
consideration, debarrcd him from any
reparation under the code of honor on the
part of Mr.. Borrowe"
Drayton threatened to post Borrowe as n
coward. and when Drayton sailed for
America, Borrowe. fearing the effects of
his charges, started after him. There may
