seph H. Walker. OF Worcester who IL member OK
the corpora ton of Brown University, and to whose
opposition o the public free-silver utterances &
President T.. Benjamin Andrews the recent reag-
nation of d. Andrews is attributed. admits that
he started the agitation about the matter. He
states that In his opinion there is no chance that
DR. Andrews will be permitted to remain or 10 re-
consider his resignation.
In answer 10 queries by an Associated Press cor
respondent. Mr. Walker. who is spending the sum-
mer AZ his stock far n here. stated to-day tha, no
personally started the trouble at Brown al meet
ing OF the corporation of the University last June
This was done because tho utterances o. President
Andrews were at variance with the views OF the
corporation on the question of National financial
policy on this point Mr.. Walker said:
''To illustrate: Ii is within my knowledge that
the president Of one OF the leading educational in
s,itutions of New-Engiand is an atheist lie
makes 10 concealment of his views on proper ocea-
sloEs Should he enter upon the propaganda OF
atheism and denunciation OF Christianity how
could the corporation. unanimously Christian Keep
him In his place for single day? Had president
Of college during the late Civil War taken pains
publicly TO teach the doctrine Of the right OF tne
individual States TO secede, II would have been an
offence to keep him in his place. II is the unanl'
nous opinion of the corporation OF Brown M
versity that the question on which Dr. Andrew IS
at variance with 1t is far more vital TO the wen.
being of the country than were the questions upon
which the Civil War fought; in fact, that TINS
question Is fundamental TO the continued progress
OF Christian civilization. .,,-
Continuing. Congressman Walker said: 'Nothing
was said or done at the meeting of the trustees OF
Brown in June that was not clearly within the me
of duty upon the part OF every member OF ths
Board and everything said and done with a
feeling OF the warmest friendship for DR. Andrews;
There was not in the mind Of a solitary memher o!
the Board the least idea of abridging President
Andrews in thought or private utterance on sllyer
or any other question. The corporation ala not de
