of Mrs. Peck concerning sthe financial
obligations of the university to her, vol
unteerlng the statement that she had re-
celved 81, 200 or IS, 900 more from the uni
versity than they were obligated to pay
her. Before this statement was made by
the Chancellor never word had appeared
IN print concerning her treatment by
the university, although three yearssagc
was urged by many of her best friends
to make 1t public I have given to adj
minister to her comfort nine of the best
years of my life, recsiying for it as q
compensation probably less than the
Chancellor receives in one year for MAX
ing political addresses, telling what a
great university we are about to have, and
incidentally looking after its interests. 1t
was not alone the being deprived of what
she believed to be her right to support
from the university that grieyed Mrs.
Peck, but the thought that she was en-
tirely neglected by those who should have
been her friends and her comfort. When
foresi years she was shut in her house,
for the most Of the time confined to her
own room, not receiving any calls from
the one who was at the head of the great
university to which she and the Bishop
had given their all, save one brief call be-
fore he had entered upon his duties at
Syracuse, is it any wonder that she, who
had always been in public life and whose
nina dWelb continually on the great
work of the church. should have felt this
aYgraat trial and should have especially
requested that he, who should above all
have spoken the last wordn of eulogy over
her casket, should not be asked to take
any part in the last service for her that
could be rendered. 1t is not q pleasant
duty for me to mako these charges against
the Chancellor of the university which |
love, but to shirk from them after what
thelChancellor has said would be coward
ly."
There is of course much excitement in
university circles, and there are many
who side with Mr.. Rockwell. A public
reply from the Chancellor to Mr.. Rock
Wells latest interview il expected, and
many friends of the university and Of
Bishop and Mrs. Peck, who gave their
ali for its foundation, asert that 1t will
be difficult for the Chancellor to clear up
matters to their satisfaction.
