If President Goes College Will Not

Brcwn's Increase Compared With Other

President Andrews and heartily regret
the affair which has resulted in his resig.
nation.
A graduate in the class of '92, writing
TO friend in Providence, says:
- saw this morning in the paper what
/ have been fearing for some time vet
what l knew would be certain TO happen
and that is PTexy's resignation. Just
what my opinion Of that corporation in
general is and of Congressman Walker in
particular, / am afraid would not be
publishable, but have an opinion just the
same.
They have been bowling about the fact
that Andrews has been unable.to get the
money necessary to properly conduct the
institution. This much is evident: They
will not require so much money hereafter
TO run Brown as they have in the past, for
unless this matter is fixed up the enroll
ment of Brown will not only not increase
as 10 mas heretofore, but it will actually 20
backward.
i am thinking that the music has only
half begun. | wish it were possible that
the alumni could do something to snow
their trust in Andrews and their disap-
proval OF the narrow sighted policy of the
corporation that controls tho college. -

A NATIVE OF NEW YORK.

James A. Donlittle was native of New
York state, but early in manhood went
TO live in Wisconsin, and to the people of
his adopted state he gave the services OF
the intellect OF great force and development
and of character whose integrity was
never doubted. even when what was
thought great change of his opinions took
place after the war.
The ex-senator made his entrance into
politics as Democrat, but the threats Of
disunion and the belief that that party
had completely surrendered to
southern domination caused change in
his views of politics and he became one
Of the first leaders of the Republican
party. not only in his own state. but
throughout the west.
