Although the general exodus of stu

abated, students continue to leave

part of the authorities to close the
university As yet not one Of the
l00O absent students has returned to
his work.
President Schurman in the after
moor addressed the students in mass
meeting upon the present situation.
Fer the past two days there has been
strong student sentiment against t.
university authorities because of the
uniyersity's refusal to
Grant the Students Demand
that the university establish a tempo
rary pure water supply for students

President Schurman said that the
trustees refused 10 grant this demand
because the university did not wspt

The university he said, asks no stu

President Schurman announced
however. that the university would
bear the expense of any pure water
supply system that the students misht
institute and operate themselves This
offer probably will be accepted BY the
students President Schurman further
announced that the university itself
will in two days open dining room

NEW ORLEANS, May 20.-The Unit.
cd Confederate Veterans opened their
thirteenth annual reunion under the
most favorable auspices. The great au-
ditorium erected in the center of the
race track at the fair grounds was
filled with cheering, enthusiastic null
titude long before the hour set for the
formal opening, and when at noon
General j. b. Levert, commanding the
Louisiana division, called the conven-
tion to order there was not vacant
seat in the hall, which easily holds 49,
600 people.
AS the commander in chief of the
Veterans, General John B. Gordon
came to the front of the rostrum the
delegates rose en- masse and gave him
cheer after cheer. The general repeat
edly bowed his acknowledgements of
the loyal and affectionate greeting and
when the tumult had subsidized he re-
piled as follows
ITO my thought it is most fitting that
this proud and patriotic organiza ton
should again meet in this historic city
such men as you welcome today, whose
past deeds will remain forever an in
spiration to American valor and to fu-
ture sacrifices for constitutional free
dom, is an auspicious event in the coun-
trys history whenever and wherever
it may occur, but how peculiarly in
spring is this reunion in Louisiana on
this one hundredth anniversary of her
new birth into governmental alliance
with American states!
"a Roman eye would have discover
ed in meeting of such men at such
time an omen of good to the cause of
liberty, and American eyes should see
in it nothing but good to the whole re-
public. 1t must of necessity be benef-
cent and only benefcent. We will not
indulge on this centennial, this polite
al millennial morning, nor at other
times, in any bitterness. We feel none
We pity those who do. We have long
since drawn the curtain of oblivion
over the regretful and unseemly things
Of the past, and we cherish as Ameri-
cans the valor and noble deeds of both
armies and Of all sections We are sat
isfied with our record, and the power
that would attempt to make us blush
for it would be both stupid and blind.
"We are heirs, joint heirs. with the
republics children in the inheritance
of freedom left by our sires. We are
proud of all the past. Moreover, we
are now facing future pregnant with
tremendous possibilities, but we face
it with strength of hope and assur-
ance borne Of an answering purpose
to discharge our every duty to all races
and to the whole country. We are
growing old, but we still stand firmly
on the narrow strip of land which sep
arates us from boundless ocean,"
