Special Digpnleh to he InIsRigsHcer,
Mono ANTowN, W. Va, July 2S,-The
university board of regents had in
tended to do considerable work last
night but John A. Robinson, PRESIDENT
was unexpectedly called homo by the
illness OF his wife and the board ad'
ourned over till tomorrow. Some
committee work was done last evening
aud almost the entire night was spent
in caucusinS with some vigorous Rt'
tampts ut log-rolling. The resolution OF
the board to keep tho proceedings secret
was not very effective. for before eleven
p, IN. almost tho entire work OF tho
afternoon had been lot out. One mem.
Der OF the board decided that he would
answer any question asked him as it
was in connection with public lnstitu.
ton and everything should be open.
Profs. Reynolds, Brooke, Whitehill,
Hartigan, Johnston, Brown, Aldrich
and Hare will probably all be retained.
Profs. Berkeley, Lorent2, Ogden, Daven.
port Stewart and Atkeson will 60.
Tho cases OF profs, Wiley and Harvey
are yet doubtful. A strong attempt Is
being made to consolidate the work OF
the law department SO that it can be
done by ono man. II this is accom-.
plished Prof. Wiley will have to go, and
indications point strongly in that direc.
tion anyway. The case OF Prof. Harvey
will be decided tomorrow. Only two
selections have been made in the direc-
tion OF filling the vacancies and all is
uncertainty about who will hll the other
places, It Is very evident that presi-
dent will not be elected at this meeting.
The general opinion Is that Prot. Rey-
nolds will act in that capacity till IN OIL.
clal head is selected,
a QUEER MEDICATION.
The Wheeling EueninJ NeUs, OF satur-
day, claims that tho action of tho
board has led to a complete vlndication
Of Prof. Ogden, and that the board on
its own motion threw out the charges
The motion to quash the charges
against himself was embodied in Prof.
Ogden's second reply to Dr.. Turner's
charges which was filed with the board
on Friday. This, although not done
directly by his counsel. was undertaken
by Its advice. The fact that vigorous
and quiet effort to log roll a reinstate-
ment yesterday morning failed does not
speak much for his vlndication.
College politics Is now the leading
topic OF discussion and q large body
Of men in front OF the leading hotel are
lending themselves to that subject.
A strong effort is being made to have
the chairs Of English and metaphysics
again separated, but 1t is not likely to
succeed.
SATURDAYS MEETING.
At their meeting yesterday morning
the spirit OF the board appeared to be
against businesp. They were evi.
IDENTIFY not ready. Not moro than
three or four could be gotten together
and it was late before the president
called them to order. Then a little
business was taken up and disposed OF
In a desultorY kind OF way. Soon
James +. Brown, OF Charleston, intro.
duced resolution to withdraw all for
mer action OF the board in the direc.
ton Of establishing coeducation, but
that those ladies who had already on.
tered should be allowed to go on and
complete their courses and receive
their degrees. A motion to adopt this
resolution opened discussion which
lasted till 1915 and which was thor.
ough, witty and eloquent. The re.
gents concluded there was enough on
hands to be done, 70 a motion to table
was carried by vote Of s to s, and they
adjourned till 2p. M, without having
made move toward filling any OF the
vacancies created by Fridays clean
sweep. After numerous caucuses, In
the afternoon the board was agaiu
called to order, and the first thing was
motion for executive session, which
carried.
TWO PLACES FILLED.
After tho board adjourned in the
evening 1t was announced that they
would meet again at night aud that
resolution had been passed to keep
everything secret till all was over.
However, before the resolution was
passed members OF tho board gave II
out that Prof. P. b. Reynolds was the
only member Of the faculty who had
been reelected. Ho will be vice prcSi.
don't and will have charge Of tho chair
Of metaphysics and English, as ar.
ranged Friday Thomas O. Miller, OF
Fairmont, was elected to dll the posi-.
tion Of principal Of the preparatory do.
partment in place Of Prof. A. W. Lo.
rontz. A vote on tho motion to rotain
Prof. II. d. Davenport resulted In four
for aud nine against Prof. Robert A.
Armstrong, principal Of the Wost Lib.
erty Normal School, was elected pro.
icSSor OF mathematics in place Of Prof.
Stewart.
Tho question undor discussion when
the board adjourned was on tho consol.
idNtion Of tho work Of the law depart.
inent DO that the work now don9 by
Prof st. George +. Brooke and W. 7.
Wiley can bO done by ono man. Tho
election Of I. o. Miller 10 causing much
favorable comment, lIo was tho Ro.
publican candidate ior tho state super.
intondent OF hchools last fall. II was
quite surprise from the fact that
Prof, LorontE 10 not supposed to DO In
any way way connected with tho pres.
