The resignation of President An
drews of Brown University is subject
of comment Throughout the country on
account of the peculiar circumstances
attending it. Andrews has long been
known rs an ardent bimetallist and
during the last campaign supported
Bryan. So prominent has he been in
politics that members of Browns board
of trustees and alumni who did not CO.
incide with his views complained that
because of his connection with the uni
versity the latter was held up before
the public as an institution where what
they held to be false doctrines of eco
Monies were taught. The result has
been that legacies and endowments
which would have come TO Brown
have been withheld and the university
is said to be in precarious financial
condition. Being confronted with this
condition. the trustees appointed a
committee to wait on President Brown
and, while granting to him the right 70
exercise such right Of opinion on the
subject of bimetallism as he saw fit, to
beg him for the sake of the university
not to make himself prominent in the
direction that his judgment dictated.
Being unable to comply, President An
drcws has rendered his resignation. In
consequence he is being made martyr
by the Bryanites, who point to il a.
another instance of the oppression OF
the .money power" and an attempt to
deny the liberty Of speech and action.
We do not view il in this light. If the
ease were reversed, if Andrews were
an active gold monometallist. we pre-
sumo our silver friends would not feel
disposed to heavily endow the insitu-
ton of which he was the head II is
simply business question-Can the
university afford to retain a man who
i a hindrance to its material prosper
ity? At the same time we honor An
drews for his constancy to principles
that he believes 10 be right. Both he
and the university have done what was
wisest and best and there is no reason
for criticism of the action Of either.
