AND THEIR NAME WAS LEGION.
To add to the uncertainty of the
result, the Board had resolved to
vote by secret ballot on every name
proposed The exact result after it
was done verified the predictions as
to surprises which we're predicted
before il was done.
THE EXACT RESULT
A view of the battle field discloses
the following summary of fatal re-
suits:
The President was beheaded, and
the office left to be temporarily filed
by the Vice President.
Prof. Berkeley, of the chair of An
Gent Languages. failed of re-elec-
ton, and his place was Tiled by Prot
Anderson of Monroe county.
Prof Ogden, of the chair of En-
glish, was left stranded, and his
chair merged with that of Metaphys-
les
Prof Davenport, of the chair Of
Civil and Mining Engineering. fail
ed of election, and 80 did his sue
cessor.
Prof Stewart, of the chair Of
Mathematics was superseded by
Prof Armstrong of the West Liber-
ty Normal School
Prof. Atkeson. ofthe chair of Agri-
culture was not reelected, nor was
successor.
Prof Lorentz, Principal of the
Preparatory Department was sue
ceeded by Prof Miller, of Fairmont.
This is about the only case the in
cumbent was willing to go. Prof
Lorentz has thought OF resigning for
some time anyway.

The above is the organization
with which the new deal starts.
With some it is very satisfactory.
With some others it is not satisfac-
tory. Nobody pretends that it is
perfect The Board which made it.,
does not offer it as without fault,
but they have done what they be
lieved to be best. They sought to
eliminate all the elements of dis
cord, and to constitute a faculty
that would be harmonious and Elf
cient in their respective departments.
There is evident relief apparent
everywhere that the strife has ceas
ed and that the task of organizing
for the work of next year is start
ing forward without any serious
hindrance, and it is to be hoped
that it will be the most prosperous
year in the history of the Universi-
ty. Certain it is that the work of
the University has always been first
class and the facilities that are of
fered the young men of West Vir-
ginia in their State University are
not excelled anywhere. There will
be no change in the character of
work and the standard ,,of scholar
ship, or the attractions in any de
partment of the University under
the new organization. Let the young
men and ladies flock in by the hun
bred.
