do no harm to allow Mr.. Simmons to re-
sign, and would move to reconsider the
vote whereby he was ousted, with the
understanding that after that action
had been taken Simmons should hand in
his resignation.
Charles Bauer moved that the COM
nlittee go into executive session, but the
motion was given the deaf ear.
J. O. Coleman explained that at the
last meeting he had not taken advan-
tage of the absence of Mr.. Simmons to
move to eliminate his name from the
programme prepared by the Literary
Committee. He had not been personal
in his remarks, and he ever made it a
point not to speak disrespectfully or
critically of anyone unless he were pres
ent at the time. He had made the mo-
ton without feeling or bitterness, but
meant exactly what he said, and still
believed that a High School pupil was
the proper person to read the Declara-
ton of Independence.
This ended the oratory, and Mr.. Ho-
gan's motion to reconsider the former
vote was carried by a vote of to :.
Then Mr. Simmons again got the floor,
and took advantage of the occasion to
publicly resign in favor of Fred. w. Ca
rey, who had been chosen by the Liter
ary Committee to fill the position made
vacant by his resignation.
Charles Bauer said Simmons was pre-
mature. and as a rank outsider he had
no right whatever to resign in anybody s
favor.
On motion of McMullen, Simmons
ooaanto6 the latter
said he regretted that he was unable to
stay longer.
II move we give him a happy good
night" said Bauer, as Simmons left
the room.

c. Nj. Harrison called on Major Sher-

just what organizations would take
