MADISON. Wis, Sept l9.-The report of
the Ely investigating committee was sub
mitted to the full board of university
| regents. signed by the full committee 1t
finds that Dr.. Ely had no connection with
the printers strike; did not advise or abet
strikers or walking delegates, or make de-
mands on proprietoIs that their offices
should be made union. 1t further finds
that there is no foundation for the charges
that Dr. Ely believes in strikes or boy
colts, or any of the other charges that
were made hy Superintendent Wells. and
| that the charge that sort of moral justi-
cation for attacks upon life and property
Is supported by the teaching or practice
OF the university of Wisconsin is absolute
ly false.
| The committee says it is surprised to
IND that during the last eighteen months
nearly 20) books and articles have been
published by professors and students on
various subjects. Without doubt some
things have been written not only on
social economics but other subjects with
which many good people could not agree.
but the committee is mindful of the fact
that many universally accepted doctrines
OF today were but short time ago de-
noInced Us visionary, impracticable aud
pernicIous. The committee states that il
cannot Tor moment think of recommend
lag the dismissal of teacher, even il
some of his opinions should in some quar-
ters be regarded as visionary. Such n
course would be equivalent to saying that
no professor should teach anything which
Is not accepted by everybody as true.
