TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June 22.-President
Parsons, of the State Normal School, to-day
called together the students who compose
the committee of fifteen" and presented
to them a statement addressed to the State
board OF trustees which he wanted them to
sign. IL was a disav0wal of any intention
to reflect on the integrity of the members
Of the board of trustees or on the school
management In the statement gwen to the
press q week ago. In that statement IL was
said the committee had been deceived by
the board, that the school management
needed discipline and that the board was
too cowaraly to meet the issue raised by
the removal of Professor Tompkins. The
committee declined to sign the state
ment but prepared one more to their
own liking. which they signed and
which President Parsons also signed
as satisfactory. AThis was in effect
the same as the one made few days
ago. saying that while they believe they
have grounds for severe CRITICISM Of the
board. they do not pretend to Judge OF the
integrity of the members OF the board.
Three of the committee OF fifteen were ex-

Prof. TompkIns left those places because he
made trouble in the schools. They
are also preparing another clrcnlar

will be made. as it is plainly understood
that 1t wonld mean the utter breaking MP
