DIR. ANDREWS RESIGNATION.
Executive Corporation Of Brown Univer-
sity Took No Action on II.

The meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the corporation Of Brown I'm
iversity held yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of discussing the letter OF
resignation of President Andrews, re-
suited in no action whatever, 1t being
deemed by the committee not advisa-
BILE to call a special meeting OF the cor
poration before the regular meeting in
September.
Those that attended the meeting yes
terday were Rev. Thomas ID. Anderson,
ID. D., secretary of the corporation;
Arnold B. Chace, ID. Sc, treasurer;<J.
C. B. Woods, A. NJ, LII. b., Robert 1.
GammelI, A. NJ, DR.. G. l.. Collins. NJ.
d.. Cornelius S. Sweetland, A. NJ, Oscar
Lapham, A. M. Those not attending
were former Chief Justice Durfee, LII.
d., and Rowland Hazard, A. M, OF the
board of fellows. The meeting lasted
three-uuarters of an hour, and was de-
voted solely to a general discussion OF
the letter. Inasmuch as a 20-days no.
tice is required for the calling OF a
special meeting of the corporation, ana
to this would have to be added for
mailing the notices. no meeting could
be held until the middle of August.
AS the annual meeting of the corpor-
alton comes on the 7th of September.
so the saving in time would be very In
considerable, to say nothing OF the
probability that an adequate represen-
tation of the fellows and trustees could
not be obtained because of the vaca-
ton season. No mention Of successor
to President Andrews was made. and
Professor Clarke will act AZ president
until a new president Is elected.
