ANDREWS NOT FoRca.D OUT.
A Letter Justifying the Action Of Brown
University.


Providence, R. T., Aug. 11.-H. L.
Maryland, of Philadelphia, dean of Brown
University, has addressed a communion
tion TO Prof. Clarke and other members
oil Brown University in reply to their
open letter to the corporation. In it men,
tlon Is made of President Andrews res
'enaSion and che issues at stake.
"The real question inyolyed.n writes
Mr Wayland, ''are, 1 think, three.fold.
FIRST - Has an instructor. minister, an

college right to use his position to give
currency and authority to his views with

VINO have placed him in his positions 1
regret that the president by his resigna-

Brisben Walker. If It should chance Ia
the future that the views of Mr.. Andrews
should dtveree from those OF Mr.. Walker,
Will Mr.. Walker entertain the opinion
which the preside mt now cherishes as to
independence?
"Second-Was the occasion not such as

Third-Was there any want.of courtesy
in the manner in which the corporation
