Myron E. Baker Gives His opinion of the
Recent Charges.
MADISON, Wis, Jan. q, 1696-DEAR
Mr.. HALL am sorry to find that the
truth is not told in the Kenosha press
relative to the recent criticism OF our
university. Editorials in one of the pa
pers have tended to give further pub
licity and credence to the injurious talk
which the university has endured from
the malice and envy of some and the
ignorance and too great credulity of
many
| have written the editor and think
he will correct the wrong impression he
has helped to make in public opinion in
Kenosha.
But Kenosha needs some one to
speak for the university at all times
against misrepresentation. This has
not been the first time that its blind
enemies, for they are blind to their own
interests, have endeavored to defame
the university, and will probably not
be the last
Knowing the university as we'll as I
do, | am absolutely certain that the
charges against the present administra-
ton are groundless. | am just as GER
tain that never since [ knew the uni
versity has it been so fourishing and
worthy of the respect of the people of
the state as now. I am able to COM
pare it with Harvard, from my three
years residence there, and the COM
parison is to the credit of the UniVer-
sity of Wisconsin. The students stand
as unit in denouncing the charges, as
absurd and RUTHLESS.
hope Kenosha may not be spec
tacle to the rest of the state, as con-
fess [ have often had occasion to regret
in times past, for it's backwardness in
the appreciation and recognition Of the
university. Yours very truly,
MYRON E. BAKER.

"Oh, Mr.. Thornleyp' she cried,

moment later she and Thornley, fol-

Thornley, tugged until the veins stood

finally raised her to her feet again. She
made four desperate strokes with her
