Four members of the faculty of the
Connecticut agricultural college have
been asked to resign, as result, 1t Is
said, of their alleged opposition to the
policy of President Flint in RELOCATING the
study of agriculture to secondary place
in the curriculum. The deposed instruct
ors are: Nelson s. Mayo, NJ. S., D. V.
M, professor of anatomy, physiology and
veterinary science. Henry A. Bailou, as
sistant professor of forestry, botany and
military science. Thomas D. Knowles,
instructor in English, mathematics, his
tory and physical culture. Charles E.
Myers, instructor in farm accounts and
business methods, and secretary of the
faculty. The action of the trustees Is
said to have followed an attempt on the
part of minority Of the board to have a
resolution passed calling for the resigna-
ton of President Flint.
The Hartford Courant says that from
the best information obtainable, it Is
pretty safe to say that at the recent meet
ing Of the trustees, at which all were
present, there was not an entirely unani-
nous vote in the action taken. The mat
ter of removals was first preached by
Congressman E. Stevens Henry, who Of
fered resolution calling for the resigna-
ton of President Flint. On this there
were but eight votes, Messrs. Henry and
Frisbie voting in favor of the resolution.
Mr. Holman did not vote and the other
six voted against it. Mr.. Henry then in
the immediate resignation of President
Flint, to take effect in June, 1902. On
this resolution Messrs. Henry, Frisble,
Holman and Hopson voted for its pass
| age, and the balance, majority, against
It. Immediately following this action, it
is said, Mr.. Simonds introduced the reso-
lutions calling for the designations of the
four members of the faculty above named.
no fight on these resolutions, as it ap-
peared to have all been arranged, and
there was nothing to be gained by max
ing useless fight.
A sequel to the shake-up at the Con-
necticut agricultural college appears in
the disappearance of the entire class OF
seniors at the institution, the summer
class, as it is known. They were all in
their places Sunday night and everything
was outwardly quiet, but Monday me rn.
ing every one of them was gone, how
when or where is unknown to anyone
The feeling among the students has beer
strong and they have steadily supported
Professors. Mayo and Knowles, two o.
the deposed instructors. Their disap
pearance is taken generally to be intended
as sign of their displeasure at the status
quo. President Flint pronounces it ''onlJ
one of their stunts" Last year the sum
mer class introduced bull into one of the
dormitories and an interesting time fol
lowed, and President Flint's idea Is thai
this class are simply trying to beat the
record. All the baggage of the class Ii
still at the college.
