PASADENA Sept 19.-In the future Throop
polytechnic institute will be entirely free from
any sectarian control. At meeting of the
board of trustees held today this was decided
upon and an amendment to the arcicles of in
corporation passed by a unanimous vote.
When the institution was first incorporated il
specified that at least nine members of the
board of trustees should be members of the
Uniyersalst church. This clause was cut out
| and one substituted providing that majority
OF the board should not belong to any parlicu-
lar religious society. This action was in re-
sponse to wish expressed by Father Throop,
the generous founder OF the school, shortly be-
fore his death, that the institute be made en-
tirely non-sectarian. His idea was that the
| college would be more far-reaching and of
more benefit to his fellow men generally if free
from any particular church leadership. In
order to insure the carrying out of this idea
Father Throop inserted clause in his will
leaving the estate with that proviso.
The action of the board yesterday places the
institute upon basis on which it can con-
fdently expect support from the entire COM
munity which it so freely deserves No other
one thing will contribute more to the future
advancement of Pasadena than Throop poly
technic institute and it deserving OF the full
est support in every way
COMING DOWN.
The school trustees have at last come down
to sensible action in the school bond business.
and have decided that after all there is nothing
no do but to bring the matter up before the
courts Tor final settlement If they had come
to this reasonable conclusion before calling
second election, and avoiding all this delay.
| the people generally would have been much
better pleased.
A meeting of the trustees was held this
| morning in Secretary Boynton's office and it
was decided that the only thing to do was to
enter into a friendly suit to determine whether
or not the district as organized is a legal one.
w. S. Wright has volunteered to conduct the
case against the district and one or two citi-
zens will enter complaint.
| Mr.. Wright has offered to see the suit
| through with no fee so the expense will be
small. decision will be necessary from the
superior court, and at best it will take consid-
cradle time.
Meanwhile what is to be done with the schol-
| ars who will be unable to gain admission to
| the schools? The board at today's meeting
| took no action whatever looking to providing
more room, although IL is well aware that the
| they have plenty OF funds on hand to secure
outside rooms.
