port of the Virginia foot

Poe Honored BY the State Which
Once Disgraced Him."
This was the heading in the New
York World on the unwilling of the Poe
bust. This statement is entirely erron-
eous. We would like TO see the World
prove the above statement. The World
also asserted in its article that Poe
was justly eApei.1d from the tolerant
university" for misconduct. It is very
grasp the truth concerning this accusa-
ton That the World grossly erred in
this statement. we attribute to misin-
formation, for its article paid the high
est tribute to Poe. 1t is evident that
when this article was written the writer
did not know that DIR. +. IS. Barringer
had told the public on Poe Day" tina,
he wished TO give an official denial tc
the allegation that Poe was ever ex-
PEELED from the University. We repeat
the following words of DR.. Barringer
chairman of the faculty, for the benen,
of the World or any other who may
yet be misinformed on the subject
Poe was never expelled or brough,
before the faculty for any misconduct
while at the University. hut he left ar
h"nored student in good standing, and
the records are here to verify this
statement"
1t is time this point was settled for
ever. and anyone who will make the
slightest inquiry Will not be guilty OF
the error above referred to.
