PROTESTED TOO LATE.
Lees Name Will Remain in Hall
of Fame.


New York, Dec. 13-New York
university senate recently received a
protest from the Association of Sur
vivors of the Sixth Army Corps in
Washington, D. G., against the plac-
ing Of General Robert E. Lees name
in the hall of fame. General Lees
name was among those selected by the
judges.
The protest of the Sixth army corps
survivors was that General Lee, who
was an officer in the United States
army, deserted his government in the
face of an enemy and was not there
fore an example worthy of emulation.
The university senate announces
that it is too late to make any change
in the list; and, moreover, that the
senate agrees with the decision to give
General Lee a place among the Alneri-
can immortals.
