THE RETIREMENT OF president
ANDREWS.

The action OF the trustees OF Brown
University, Providence, Rhode Island, in
pressing President y. b. Andrews to the
resignation OF his Office because Of his
free silver sentiment. has attracted much
attention and incurred merited disappro-
baton
The very idea that free thought will
not be allowed on any question in a uni
vcrsity is inconsistent with the life and
progress Of that institution.
This resignation may be bad for Pres
ident Andrews. but it IS FAR worse Tor
Brown University.
How on earth President Andrews can
entertain the views he does on money
after all the study he has given to the
subject we do not see, but no one doubts
his sincerity and the truth Of monometal-
ism cannot 20 any clear mind be clouded
by the sopnostries of so-called bimetal-
ism. which really means nothing but sill
ver-monometallisn.
II this kind Of action is taken by nom
political board OF trustees, how much
more certain would it be If tho board was
under partisan political control
Happily for us the University Of Vir-
ginla has been kept free Of such interfer-
olce.

And fee this care-infested atmosphere
