A Democratic member OF the faculty
says that the only reason Prof, Stewart,
who is Republican, was dismissed was
because otthe work Of local, small fry
politicians, The members Of the board
allow themselves 20 be worked In this
way In many cases and sometimes for
smaller reasons than theone mentioned,

some OF the new appointments by the

The Register reporter in all his corrps-
pondence has left the impression that
tho presence in town Of q number Of
"very bright young men" who yhavst
been at various times dismissed from
the Institution for varlous upgentle'
manly acts, was the principal reason
why DR.. Turner was not re-electeds A.
whole force Of such, young men was
present, but their presence had no,
weight with the regents. The Re0tstsr,
reporter showed,his personal prejudice!
lin the mattetthy making tho following
statement to Prot Wiley: III you IaSe
for DR.. TNratr, l am against yotL" By,
trickery this same reporter tried to get'
certain statements from the proiessoru,
and be worked 1t 90 heavily that they
sent one OF their number to him, who
told him that II he Represented the
matter In the light he was attempting
to get themto approve they would re.
,plyto II over their own signatures.
1t has como out that oil the elections
that have been made arc for one year
only. All the work, according to.the
arrangement, will have TO be gone over
with again next year. This offers fine
inducements to the new men. It all
leaves the university in a very unset.
tied condition and the effects will 'be
very detrimental to next years work.
Already some OF the old students are
looking around for other schools Of more
promise and some changes have been
decided upon.
THE dovERNoR's ACTION.
There Is something mysterious In the
action Of tho governor in connection
with tho case OF DR.. Turner. Person
ally Governor MacCorkle promised DR..
Turner to stand by him. The general
opinion OF the public, based upon &C.
on.nta nhaaevokjaou IL khnk na.o,nn.
MacCorkle did active work against tho
president. When the commission OF
Mr.. Holswade was sent to him 1t was
not sent by mail, rs is the usual custom,
but was sent In the special charge OF
the private secretary Of the governor,
and throughout the entire procedure
Mr. HolSwade voted against Dr.. Tnr-
neE The trip Of the private secretary
must have had some meaning, as Mr.,
Holswade's action indicate.
Some actions Of the board were com.
mendable, come were not. The general
result Is Sto leave an unsettled feeling
and tho effects are feared by 'the gem
eral public.
Not till the members Of the board
come out individually for tho right and
vote their convictions, instead OF trying
to shoulder the responsibility on some
one else, and not till they select men as
professors on account Of merit and not
on account Of personal feelings and
friendship, will this matter be settled
up. Log rolling is the universal custom
and that sooner or later 1t will result In
the downfall Of the institution, II con-
tinued, Is the universal opinion OF the,
public.
