PRES. ANDREWS WILL RESIGN.
In Spite Of opportunities He Will Ad
here to His Former Decision.

Providence, r. l., Sept. lit is unofti.
cially announced that DR.. Andrews Will
insist upon the acceptance of his resigna-
ton from the presidency of Brown Uni
versity. This decision was arrived at af-
ter q conference this afternoon between
DR.. Andrews and the advisory and the
executive committees Of the corporation.
His connection with the Cosmopolitan
University, it is thought, will take up too
much time to permit of his devoting his
attention to both universities. His deci-
sion is in spite Of letter received by him
from the faculty begging him to remain.
