CHICAGO UNIVERSITY
ClaimPartiaI Victory Against
Segregation.
WILL KEEP UP THE CAMPAIGN
Trustees Of the Institution Evince an
UnwiIlingness to Adopt President
HarpeT's Observation-Disclosures
feIers Said to Favor Co-Education.

CHICAGO. Aug 22-There is much
rejoicing among the women students
at the University OF Chicago Members
Of the Association Of Collegiate Alum
nae are also going about with their
faces wreathed in smiles. The cause of
1t is the apparent unwfIIingness OF the
trustees OF the University Of Chicago to
agree to Dr.. Harper's pet plan of Sc
gresaticn.
The refusal Of the trustees to vote on
the segregation problem and the post
ponement OF the question for two
months is looked upon as a decisive
defeat for the president OF the univer-
sity But the cO-educationists are not
Stacking in their efforts to win a com
plete victory. and the fight for coed
ucation viii be merrier than ever for
the next two months The trustees
seem to be convinced that from q bust
ness standpoint they shoCld vote
against the policy Of segregation
Trustees Are Business Men.
Nest OF the trustees are business
men. and have informed President Har-
per that it would be unwise to change
a policy which has resulted in such ma
teriaI benefits to the Midway institu-
ton os learning.
The refusal OF the trustees 10 act de-
cisively on the matter yesterday means
that the fall quarter OF the university
VIII open with co-education still the
Tulin- factor
The fail quarter opens just two
weeks before the October meeting Of
the trustees. when it Is understood that
the segregation matter viii be definite
y settled. This means that President
Harper viii be unable to put his pet
scheme into effect before December. or
until the regular winter quarter starts
IN. provided he is victorious in the tight
between the trustees.
An attempt viii be made to secure
the presence here at the next meeting
Of the university trustees OF John D.
Rockefeller. jr. The son Of the founder
Of the university is numbered among
the trustees, although John d. Rookie
feIler himself does not figure in the
official directcry.
RockefeIIers Favor Cause.
The co-educationists claim that the
RockefeIIers. junior and senior. favor
their cause and that the presence here
OF the son Of the founder, arTayed
against segrega ton. viii settle beyond
doubt that Dr. Harper's plan viii be
doomed 20 defeat.
One Of the leading arguments which
II is said DR.. Harper is advancing il
order to secure favorable vote on
his segregation plan is that there is
$1,0G0oc9 awaiting the adoption OF the
policy which viii separate the sexes in
classes.
While not emanating from the p-esi-
I dent himself the report has gone
abroad that Mr. Rockefeller was will
ing 10 donate most OF the money which
would be needed to Accommodate such
a change as would ensue from the adop-
ton Of the segregation idea.

These were called seals in the oldeu

of the Jurors who decided the matter.
When this verdict was rendered
there was no such thing as paper

stated that the present jury system,
