The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1894-06-21


Secretary,
This was referred to special com =
mittee and they reported on the mat
ter as follows:
To the Honorabe Board of Regents of the
University of Texas;
The undersigned special committee
to whom was referred the resignation
Of Nj A, P. Woodbridge as secretary
of the board of regents of the Uniyer-
sity of Texas, this day rendered, TO
take effect July l, 1884, beg leave to
say that they have considered the
same and recommend that said
resignation be accepted by
the board and that Mr..
Woodbridge be requested to extend the
tiIue when the same shall take effect
until September /, 1894.
Yodr committee further recommends
the adoption of the following resolu-
tion to be spread upon the minutes of
the board of regents.
Whereas, Mr.. A P. Woodbridge has
this day rendered his resignation as
secretary Of the board of regents OF the
University of Texas, which position he
has held from the organization of the
University, and the responsible duties
of which he has discharged with
marked ability, fidelity and uniform
courtesy, and as we believe, with an
earnest desire always to promote the
advancement of the University. There
fore be it
Resolved, That this board desires to
express their appreciation of the valu-
able services rendered, both to them
and to the University, by Mr.. A. P.
Woodbridge during the time OF his ser
vice as secretary, and to give to him
assurance of our kindest and best
wishes. Respectfully,
WILLIAM l.. PRALHTER, Chm.
II. M, HARDWOOD,
r. Z. CowART.
These resolutions were unanimously
adopted by the board. The balance
OF the meeting was devoted to routine
work. Owing to the large amount of
work before them the board was un-
able to make the appointments of the
three professors necessary TO the two
branches of philosophy and TO the
chair OF chemistry. That will be
done today, however. One OF the
most interesting matters of the pres
ent meeting will also come up today
for hearing. 1t is with reference to
Professor Edwards, who has the chair
OF biology. 1t is currently thought
that Professor Edwards is being ar.
raigned solely on the charge OF teach
ing iutidelity in the University, but
such is reported not to be The case.
The main issue at present. it
is declared, all done that
he will be held to answer
tor today is the charge of creating di.-
cord in the faculty of the University.
Ii is stated that some very serious
charges are in the hands of the re.
gents that Professor Edwards will be
held responsible for, and he will be
given hearing today. In this con-
nectiOn it is also pretty well acknowl.
edged that certain professor of the
University has been welding an al
together too facile pen in the criticism
of certain members of the board, and
such charges will also be considered
at today's meeting.

bled in sufficient number to start the
pleasures OF thu occasion, The dance

which time the final waltz brought
the pleasures of the occasion to a
close The novelty of the german

THE FINAL BALL.
Tonight in the hall of representa-
tives at the state capitol the Univer.
sity students will give their final ball.
This pail bids fair to be the grandest
ever given in the capitol. and the at
tendance will certainly be the largest.
The boys have gone to no end of trou-
BILE and expense to make the ball a
perfect success. a. stretcher has been
put over the floor. The 23rd infantry
band will be in attendance and every
thing possible to the success of the
occasion has been procured. The pro.
grams for this year ale models of
beauty and taste. A coupon ticket
has been arranged so that all in at
tendance may be assured of securing
a program. Quite number of visit
ors from a distance are expected and
1t is needless to prophecy that the
Austin delegation will be large in it's
