TROUBLE AT THE
SCHOOL OF MINES

Denver. April 1O.-h News special
from Golden last night gays:
The question of whether the faculty
of the State School of Mines shall re-
sign or whether it shall be President!
Palmer who will go was to-day passed
up to the beard of trustees of the in
stitUtion.
The question was discussed at the
first meeting of the newly organized
board. The members were given TO un-
derstaud that should they decide in
favor of President Palmer the faculty
stood ready to resign and that Profes-
sor Palmer would not remain unless
his policy was sustained.
The question did not come up "ofii-
cially" and so no record of the trou'
bic appears on the minutes OF tho
board, but it will be considered at a
special meeting which will be held
some time before the close of the pres
ent school year. There Will be no
change in either the faculty or the
presidency of the school during the
present year.
According to the statement OF James
T. Smith of Denver. secretary OF the
board of trustees. the present friction
has arisen over change in the rules
of the school which was made by
President Palmer and published in the
new catalogue. The change which the
faculty is strongly objecting to Is IN
favor of the student. 1t is claimed by
the professors that the change will

standard of the institution. This Presi-
dent Palmer denies He says that the
standard of the school will be main
tanned and that at the same time fewer
students will fall by the wayside.
In making up the catalogue for the
coming year President Palmer omitted
from it the entire page twenty OF the
catalogue OF the previous year. Ihe
omitted rules were as follows:
Any student having at the end OF
the term more than two conditions
hall h relegatcd to the next lower
class.
"A complete failure in any subject

lower class.

he included in the new catalogue The
rules were originally drawn up by for-
mer President Chauvenet. President
Palmer since his taking hold OF the
school of Mines has favored liberal
policy. and it is in the fnrtherance OF
this that he omitted the Chauvenet
rules from the new catalogue. lie
claims that just as good students Will
he graduated from the school by more
lepient rules. This the faculty opposes
and says that the adoption OF the new
rules mcsns that the standard on the
school will be lowered.
