TRUSTEE WHTTCOMB RETTCENT

TRUSTEE WHITCOMB RETICENT.
Trustee @. Henry Whitcomb of this
city, when seen at his home on Har-
ward street, Friday evening, by a Spy
reporter, was inclined to be reticent re-
garding the Springfield meeting. There
were two or three votes passed." he
said, zone of which was that President
Gates be granted his request for a years
leave of absence. President Gates said
he was in ill-health, and showed a doc
tors certificate that he was suffering
with insomnia and needed a rest. I'm
der these circumstances it would have
been cruel, would it not, to have refused
his request?'
When asked whether or not President
Gates would return to the college after
his years absence, Mr. Whitcomb
would not say Neither was he willing
to admit that any resignation had been
presented or considered
Mr. Whiteomb said that President
Gates would sail for Europe the middle
of next month, and that during that
time the management of the college
would be under the supervision of the
