Not at Home in University.

Rev. j. w. Campbell, the father of the
student, Claude Campbell. who was hazed
last week by number of Berkeley
students, appeared before committee of
the faculty yesterday morning in relation
to the matter.
MIR. Campbell is a well-kno wn Methodist
minister of Los Angeles, and upon hear
ing of the hazing of his son and of his
having been expelled from the student
body, came north at once. He first
sought out President Kellogg, and asked
for an investigation of the affair. As re-
suit. the faculty committee on student
affairs. consisting of Professors Thomas r.

listened to his charges. Then the COM

introduced the resolutions expelling
Campbell from the associated students.
lie was asked to give the grounds upon
which he based the resolutions.
After giving a short account of the ac-
tons of Campbell which led to the step
taken by the students, Mr.. Anthony re-
lated a few facts concerning Student
CampbelPs moral character that were a
revelation to the father and the committee.
The father was taken considerably aback

when It's object was so contem ptible. There
seems little question that Cam bell is not

Kind of small shreWdness. That he was
not expelled from the university for his
many moral lapseS, as disclosed on even

fact that he Withdrew his deposit and
practically severed his connection with
the university some time ago.
The case of the students who did the

the committee, but Will be taken up by the
faculty now the charges have been pre-

The good doctor is reported as saying
that he will return home with his active
