AGREE AFTER LONG CONFERENCES
These gentlemen repaired at O'clock
to room on the third floor Of the coll
lege building and remained in session
until II o'clock last night. The grievances
of the students were all set forth IN
lengthy speeches. and the recent troubles
were carefully gone over.
The conferrees finally agreed upon tho
following resolutions. which they believe
the students will stand by. and hope Will
bring 10 an end all disturbing differences:
Whereas, since the election OF Professor
L. W. Boatwright to the presidency II
the college, there has existed certain
unfriendly feelings between the studen,s
as factions and also as individuals. 90
| has been manifested both in private and
| through the public press: and
| whereas, this feeling has already tx
| isted too long, and has developed 90 n
| very undesirable stage by undue and ex.
| treme agitation from each faction. a.
| such, and by individuals of said factions:
and, Furthermore. as all necessary and
| satisfactory explanations have been made
| between individuals as representing fac
| ticns. and also between the two factions
by their respective peace committees:
| therefore, be it
| Resolved. |. That there be no further
| emonstraton OF any nature whatever by
| either faction, as such; or by any indi-
| vidual or individuals representing either
| faction.
| >. That all satisfactory explanations
have been made and accepted regarding;
all matters of an offensive nature be-
| tween the former existing factions.
| DUE To THOUGHTLESSNESS.
3. That all opposing factions are prone
| TO indulge In extremes. whereby the one
| seeks TO augment its facts aud figures 20
| the detriment of the other. ana as such
has been the case in the past trouble,
| therefore we leave the public "a conclude
az to the number of students COM
| posing the recent factions. IT is fur
ther. agiig-d. nat owing 10 this view OK
| the case the students have been largely
| mlsrepres esented: therefore, II is houCd
that the public will credit much that
has been said and done by both In
| dividuals and factions as due very largely
to the thOughtlessness Of students. and
| the extremes 10 which CO!loge-bOys may
| carry their grievances.
4. That IT, Is the ardent wish and mani
| fest intention Of the students composing
| the recent factions that all agitation II
| the former trouble. as well as any pri-
| vate misunderstanding arising therefrJm
between them as factions. be. al 81
hereby declared to b., absolutely at an
| end
). That no further notice be taken of
the affair by tho public press and the
| reporters are hereby requested not o.
accept anything further for publication.
| 8. That copy Of these resolutions be
furnished the daily papers for pubica-
tion. and that copies be posted on thu
| college bulletins.

sented 10 write the following. which was

The poem in question was brought 10
the Dispatch office by several students

elect Boatwright. with the request that
it be published IL was held. and. but for
the difficulty growing out Of Mr.. Bowe's
cutting il off the blackboard, 1t would
never have appeared in print.
THE FACULTY MEETING.
The meeting Of the faculty was quite n
lengthy one. and long speeches were
| made by every member present. None OF
the professors when visited by "a Dis
patch man. would talk, and all that could
be learned was that they had informed
the members of the peace conference that
| they would defer any action that they
| might be inclined To take until after the
| conference had come to some definite con-
clusion. The faculty adjourned after adj
| vlsing the students Of this intention on
their part. and ii could not be ascertained
whether or not they purpose holding an
other session this afternoon.
