VERNI{LLION, S. ID.

Student and business circles Of this city
have been somewhat stirred since the report
was sent to T h e urn that Professor
John D. Logan OF the chair of English and
philosophy IN the State University OF South
Dakota, had rendered his resignation. The
information came from President Droppers
himself but later developments give evidence
that there is a "nigger in the woodpile." DR..
Logan emphatically denies that he has sent
in his resignation and expresses intention
of SO doing. Neither has be been advised by
the board that the members wish him to step
down and out. And he is at loss to deter
mine why such reports should be authorized.
Nevertheless, it would seem that even though
the board has not asked for his resignation
there must have been serious contemplations
in this direction. The causes for such action
are merely matters of gossip and no accurate
reasons have yet been conceived. Business
men, citizens and students are inclined to
look upon the affair with more or less indig
nation, and claim they see malice on the
emily on.
