THE COROLLA INCIDENT

Tuscaloosa, June 6.-(Special )-The Uni versity commencement hop was held in the dining hall of the University last night and was a very delightful affair Over fifty couples took part in the dance, which was led by MT. c. M. Plowman of Talladega, assisted by Miss Anna Moody of this place. There was a large crowd of spectators in attendance, but this was somewhat curtailed by the indictment weather The hop was a very brilliant one and brought together brilliant so- cial gathering.
 The commencement just closed was ex- pected to develop some disorder and overt acts of disrespect to the constituted au- thourities by the cadets on account of the discipline that has prevailed major por- tion of the session, which came to a close yesterday, but happily nothing of the kind developed. There threatened for time to be friction on account of the order made several years ago by the trustees in re- gard to the students attending dances in the city during commencement week when there were affairs at the University the same nights. The trustees abridged lAi0 OfuindHCe anu dll were idppy. It IS reported that the president posted an order to the effect that the students would not be allowed to attend the dances in town, but pr. Powers denied this and stated that he had issued no such order. The correction was accordingly made in the next dispatch from this place. How ever, a warning was read before the corps relative to the ordinance passed about 1895, placing a ban on such dances. The trustees, in the opinion of many acted very wisely in allowing the students to at- tend the town dances, as they were en- abled to attend the presidents reception on Monday night before going to the L. T. F. german.
 Caustic Criticism.
 The refusal of the board to appropriate aid for the assistance of the editorial board of the Corolla on account of the al- fcged disrespectable remarks contained in the annual relative to certain officers of the institution leaves the board with a deficit of about s100 to make up R. H. Rowe, the editor of the Corolla for this year, publishes a card today, in the Ga, zette, in which he makes some very sar- castle and rather caustic remarks anent
 
 the Coralla Among many other things MT Rowe says: Prom the nature of things the Corolla is not resigned for compliments and fulsome praise, exploit ing the deeds of certain officers of the university For such matters we would respectfully refer the board to the Ala bama University Bulletin and other in- spired press notices" The Bulletin of the first issue contains several articles by the president and at these Mir Rowe takes a shot, as well as at the practice of sending galley slips Altogether the cord of MT. Rowe is a pretty warm one, and has been the talk of the entire stu dent body and many of the Tuscaloosa citizens today.
 Prof c. G. Brownell of the university left for the City of Mexico today to spend the summer in study. He Is professor of romance languages. Mrs Brownell and little daughter will spend the vacation in Syracuse, N Y.
 Prof. George s. Wilkins, professor of the engineering department at the uni, yersity, leaves tonight for New York where he will take passage in a few days for a stay of some months in Germany He spent last year at the Paris Exposi- tion as an American representative. The 8. A. E. fraternity give the closing german of the commencement season to- night at Elks' Hall.
 The commencement crowd has not been so large this year, many of the politicians of the state being absent. The trains to- day carried away many of the visitors and students.
