Reasons For Dismissal.

1.-The question" says the report, 'in
regard to which we have been called
upon to express an opinion is:
What were the reasons which led
Mrs. Stanford 60 force Professor Ross
resignation? Two classes of reasons
have been alleged:
'First-Di ssatisfacti on the part of
Mrs. Stanford with Professor Ross ex-
pressiOns of opinion on questions of
economic policy, notably in regard to
the free coinage of silver in the cam
paign of 1896. and more recently in re-
gard to the cOolie emigration and mu-
nicipal monOpOlies.
''SecOnd-It has been asserted or sug-
gested that Professor Ross had made
statements before his classes rejecting
upon the late Senator Stanford; that
he had shown himself selfish and lack
ing in loyalty to the university; that
he was cratic and frequently over
stepped the bounds of academic pro-
priety in the manner of giving express
sions 10 his opinions; that his publica-
ton of Nov. IA was a violation Of con-
fidence and that there are facts, which
if disclosed. would reflect upon his per-

Report Reviews Case.

The report says:
TT is customary for professors Of the
Leland Stanford University to be re-
appointed early in May. Professor
Ross was, however, reappOinted on
June 2 On June he handed to Presi-
dent Jordan his resignation to take
effect at the close of the year 1900-1901,
in which he says that he was sorry to
learn from President Jordan WAT Mrs.
Stanford DID not approve of him, Ross,
as an economist.
The resignation was not acted upon
until Nov. 5, when it was accepted Oy
President Jordan. who expressed his
high esteem for the work of Professor
Ross IS a student and teacher"
On Nov. IA, the report goes on to
state, Professor Ross authorized the
publication in the newspapers of a
statement setting forth the causes of
his resignation and its acceptance, at
tTibuting it to the dissatisfaction felt
by Mrs. Stanford with his expressions
of opinions on questions of public pol
icy, particularly cOOlie emigration and
municipal ownership. On the following
day President Jordan wrote to Profess
scr Ross stating that in view Of his
published statement il was deSira Bile
that his connection with the university
should terminate Immediately.

Seligman, Pm. D., professor of political
economy and finance in Columbia. uni
versity, gave out today the report Of
the committee of economists on the dis
missaI of Professor Ross from Leland

attitude on the silver question.
The other members of the committee
besides Professor Seigman are Henry
w. Farnam, professor of political econ
omy. Yale University, and Henry B.
Gardner, professor of political economy
Brown University.
When Professor Ross severed his
connection with the Leland Stanford

Seligman, Farnam and Gardner es-
pOused the cause of Professor Ross and
began an investigation of the matter.
After correspondence with the officers
of the university and an examination
of the case in detail the committee
