The greatest interest is manifested re-
carding the result Of the meeting of the
board. I'm just bet YOU s. they take those
hovs back" said an old Virginia Mill
tseTv Institute man yesterday who is also
"a state official. "Of course, they will
reinstate them. / do not know that Cen
cral Ship will so recommend. / believe,
though. that even should he make no |
recommendation, the old fellow will be /
glad 10 have the board forgive the boys /
and give them another chance.
/. It's very serious thing in soldier or 4
a military student TO violate the explicit ]
orders of his superiors. but IT is also I
most serious thing to prevent a young
mans completing his education. General /
Ship recognizes this; | think the board /
recognizes 81; the people generally recog- |
nize Il. and ] believe the popular voice
is for the restoration Of the young fell
lows"
Governor Tyler has repeatedly ex-
pressed the hope that the boys would be |
reinstated. and there Is really little DOUBT
that this will be done. They VIII DC

GERS being reduced to ranks, and al pelhg
compelled TO do extra tours OF guaIu
