INTERVENING FOR THE BOYS
President George A. Harter and
other members of the faculty, who
were in the Administrator building
were apprised Of the result at once,
and a few moments later Jerome B.
Bell and d. Mif1in Wilson drew up
the following petition, which they
presented to the faculty:
To the Faculty Of Delaware college
Gentlemen: We, the undersigned
parents ard friends Of the suspended
students Respectfully ask your body tc
to consider the question of reducing
the terms for which said students
have been suspended. We ask this
in consideration of the action taken
by suspended students in their efforts
to induce the other students to re-
turn to their studies.
President IIarter and the members
of the faculty had no statement to
make about to.day's developments.
"The college will open as usual ON
Monday" laughingly replied Dr.
Harter.
"The faculty will not ask you to
apologize. or to retract, or to make
any statement, but to 60 back to
work" said Mr.. Bell. "The perioos
you have lost will not be counted
against you, and after you return
you will be in a way to treat and to
gel a hearing before faculty. for by
your actions already you have put
yourselves outside Of hearing. AS
i said, if you come back, you will
have no period to make up, wherea s
il you don't you will have to make
up the periods, and the effect will be
felt for year. The parents certainly
will stand by you as long as YOU do
right. Tut cannot 80 long as you are
in the wrong" Mr., Bell said he con-
sdcred that the faculty had gone
aboutas far as it could go, and urged
the boys to take manly stand and
return.

Mr.. Bush. 81 feel as if YOU have

the spirits that binds you together.
l would like to see you return, and
If you have grievances we will bring
them before the faculty, but we
can't do it until you give the parents
an opportunity to do 50. y
Mr.. Hickman, Chillis, and Evans
of Elkton. Mr.. Evans said the re-
bellion was calculated to inj jurc
the institution very much. He
thought the faculty was making
quite concession. ~ have haz-
cd, aud was hazed. but hazing is
wrong, aud heretofore l understand
the faculty has been taking very
little notice OF it. If any student
has been wrongly suspended, l be.

faculty 10 right any such wrong.
If you want to do what's right, We
will stand by you.
