The Democrat recently copied para
graph from the state press which inti-
mated that the trustees. Of the University
OF Maine would ask for the resignation
Of President Harris on the ground that
he was filing up the faculty too fast
with members Of his own denomination
and graduates Of his alma mater, wes-
leysn College; also because the salary
paid him Is too large. The college paper,
The Campus, pronounces this entirely 3
false report, and complies some statistics
which show that there Is no foundation
whatever for the charge OF denomins-
tionslism. President Henry Lord Of the
trustees denies absolutely that there Is
the slightest foundation for the report,
and SAYS that, on the contrary, there has
been considerable anxiety on the part Of
the trustees that superior financial in
dueements might lead him TO 90 else
where.
