The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1902-03-08

Tue SENATE CLOSELY reldteu 10 the pFeSl-
dent, to the teachers and to the trus-
tees. More than that, there were sew
eral members of the Legislature who
are trustees also, and they would not
permit the resolution to be voted
down. Some of the finest speeches of
the session were made by the men,
bers denouncing the resolution as q
bit of personal malice and an at
tempt to besmirch character in such
a way as to leave a cloud over the
matter for two years, or until the
next session is held. In the House a

burst Of indignation with which the
Senate as one man denounced the in
sinuation of wrongdoing there-and
that opinion must have been that, Of
all its precious treasures, Mississippi
held this girls college Of hers most
dear. Never before has more perfect
unanimity been shown on any Ques
tion before the Senate. More than
one member spoke of the college "as
the apple Of his eye;" another hkened
it to apples of gold in pictures Of
silver" and one and all wore allie
glance to it and pinned their faith
to its management. Thus was the in
tention Of its enemies defeated anC
