The impression that it is party measure

"The Republicans and Populist5 are

Investigating. Committee Can't Think of
Recommending His Dismissal.


Recommending His Dismissal.
MADISON, Wis, Sept. 1S.-The report
Of the Ely investigating committee was
submitted to the full board OF univer-
sity regents at o'clock this after
noon signed by the full committee.
1t finds DR.. Ely had no connec-
ton with the printers strike, did
not advise or abet the strikers or walk
ing delegates, or make demand on pro-
prietors that their office should be made
d union one
1t further finds there is no foundation
for the charge that Dr. Ely believes in
that were made by Superintendent
Wells, that the charge, "a sort of
moral justification for attacks upon life
and property is supported by the teach
ing or practice of the university of Wis
consin'' is absolutely false
The mem bers of the committee say
they are surprised to find that during the
last eighteen months nearly 200 books
aud articles have been published by the
professors and students various sub
jects.
The report states that without doubt
some things were 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 lOQdY were OUT snort time
ago denounced as visionary, impractical
BILE and perniciOus.
The committee states that it cannot for
a moment think of recommending the
dismissal of teacher even if some of
his opinions should in some quarters be
regarded as visionary. Such course
would be equivalent to saying no profess
sor should teach anything which is not
accepted by everybody as true.
They say they would feel themselves
unworthy of the positions they hold if
they did not believe in progress in all
departments of knowledge. They be-
lieve the great university of Wisconsin
should ever encourage that continual
and fearless sitting and winnowing way
by which alone truth can be found.
In closing the report the committee
says: I've regret that our appointment
is such that an Investigation should have
been considered necessary, but Will now
state that we entered on it with the
sole desire to ascertain the truth in re-
gard to the charges preferred We are
pleased to say that the result Is a com
plete vindication of DR.. Ely and the
teachings and practice of our universi-
