A good deal of commotion was caused
here the first of the week by a rumor
to the effect that three Of the members
of the faculty of the Agricultural coll
lege had resigned their positions. to
take effect at the end of the school year
four months from now. All sorts OF re-
ports became prevalent at once and the
matter was a sensation for some days.
II is supposed that the local college
board asked for the resignation of three
of the professors. This is undoubtedly
the case, and a lack of harmony be
tween these and those higher i'm posi-
ton Is thought TO be the cause, but
this will not be known until the local
college board shall make public the
facts
