DR.. Dunbar Reinstates Them
Without Requiring an
Apology.
TELLS WHY DIR. B0XToN LEFT.
The Boys Had Determined to Leave if
Required to Ask Pardon Of
DR.. Sharp.

The members of the junior class of the
Dental College, who were suspended last
Monday for 'cutting" lecture of DR..
Sharp's course in body. have won their
fight with the faculty and were yesterday
reinstated without having to make an
apology to the lecturer.
On Thursday notice was posted on the
bulletin board asking them to meet DR..
Dunbar, the dean, at o'clock yesterday
afternoon. They met the dean, who told
how DR.. Sharp came to be appointed, asked
some easy questions of several members
and then asked all who would stand
by the laws of the college in future to rise.
They all stood up and the dean told them
that they could enjoy their holidays free
from any thoughts of expulsion. The
boys quietly enough went outside and
then held jubilee meeting. The dean
had not asked them to apologize and they
had won their fight.
Thursday committee was appointed to
wait on the faculty at its meeting that
evening with full power to act for the
class, provided that no agreement should
be made to apologize. On this point the
class was firm and unanimous. The COM
mittee was at the Donahue building when
the faculty met, but before the meeting
the members decided that they would not
go before the faculty unless requested.
They were not invited to appear. and then
decided to wait for developments.
Yesterday at noon this was reported to
the class at meeting held then.
Nearly every member of the class took
hand in the discussion that followed. 1t
was decided to meet DIR. Dunbar, but it
was unanimously agreed that they would
listen to no terms that included an apology
to DR.. Sharp.
At 5 o'clock DR.. Dunbar, ACCOMPANIED
by DR.. Goddard. met the class in the lee
ture-room. He began by saying that he
believed that the class did not under
stand the case at all, and the difficulty all
arose out of pure misunderstanding. He
then went on to say that when DR.. Box
in the mechanical department..
They had asked DR.. BoXton to stay, but
he had refused unless he was paid salary
of $500 month 70 recoup him for his loss
of time. DR.. Goddard had proposed DIR.
Sharp, 'but did not want him to accept
because he was working in my office, and
if he did would have to leave" he said.
However, DR.; Sharp, he said, was a loyal
alumnQs of the school and did accept. He
said that Or. Sharp had made good show
ing, but any man would have to be para
gon to satisfy the present junior class,
which had done everything to make it
hard for him from the beginning. The
whole trouble, he said, had been caused by
two memb bers OF the senior class-"one
with whiskers and the other old enough to
grow them He referred to Hustled and
Hart.
DIR. Dunbar then read three questions
which he said he would put to the mem
bersi of the class. These were: "Why did
you stay away from Saturdays lecture ?'
did you participate in any OF the noise?'
and What objections have you to DR..
Sharp?'
Several members were called upon and
the answers were very similar. They said
that they had stayed away because it was
not proper time for the lecture and be-
cause DIR. Sharp had no authority for fix
ing times for lectures. Each one denied
participating in the noise. AS to DIR.
Sharp they said that they considered him
incompetent, but had no objection to him
on personal grounds.
After these questions had been asked
DR.. Dunbar gave them severe lecture on
college discipline and asked all who would
in future obey the rules to stand up. They
all rose. Hereafter you will sustain the
rules of the college," he said as he brought
his fist down on the desk. With little
further admonitioh the students were dis
missed
