Delegate Talbot left this morning
for his. home having been called

his comrades thai he could not be

The committee got down to hard

they have been taking testimony be.
hind closed doors. A very large
number of students, professors and
citizens have been before them and
Z those who have been in preserve a
strange reticence over what has tax
en- place behind the door.
One of the members of the com
mittee was asked by representa-.
tive of this paper about it and he ut
terly refused to talk beyond stating
that the investigation would be full
and fair to everyone concerned that
the report would contain what they
had been able to find out.
All of the evidence is to be de-
stroyed at once and nothing will ever
get out as to what any one said un-
less he chooses to tell it himself af-
ter being bound by his oath not to
tell it.
This report is expected to be
ready 20 be LAID before the legisla-
ture ON Tuesday morning. 1t will
be gotten ready on Monday or Mon
day night when a conference will be
held between the members and the
report mapped out.
This morning at eleven o'clock
the entire stu lent body were called
together and together with all of
the faculty in Commencement Hall
met the committee. There was a
very pleasant meeting. All of the
members were called on for remarks
and they made them in very happy
veins. The boys received them with
enthusiasm and every point made in
favor of the student body was round
ly cheered.
This afternoon they saw the ca
diets parade and reviewed by Major
Burns and enjoyed this very much.
There is feeling prevalent over
town that the committee will bring
in report calling for the removal
of the President but this is founded
on nothing very tangible and is
rather the concensus of what the
community believes should be done
rather than from anything definite
that is known.
