In the Causes which Have Led TO the
Decision 10 Replace Printx With An.

Regent Il. NJ. Grant when asked IL
he desired TO make any reply to the
statement made by Mr.. b. G., Printz,
10 regard to his being superseded,
said:
II have only this To say: Mr.. Puntx
has allowed his imagination to run
him away from the facts, The w. a.

with the matter. do not thlnk /
have ever thought OF that game sincc
1t was played Since he calls II to

the worst umpirlng that have ever
seen, but | never thought he did II
purposely. | believe he was perfectly
honest, It being simply case OF very
bad Judgment. l did not use the
language be imrutes to me, nut may
lave said that the decisions were
rotten.
However, II is known that the
board had been OF the opinion for two
years tina. Mr.. Printz, while good
man Ia many respects, did not come
up to the standard required In big
Institution like ours, with growing
interest Ia athletics, and we would
have made the change last year but
for the fact that we wanted to give
Mr.. Printz ample time TO lock up an
other place, and he was told this year
would be his last.

ever, that am not responsible for all
the acts OF the hoard, being only one

From Wednesdays DailS =
General z. L Sweeney talked 10
a large audience in Commencement
Hall yesterday evening fer nearly
two hours. His subject was "The
Galden Age The audience ex-
pected rare treat from the distin-
guished scholar, diplomat and ora
tor, and were more than satisfied
with what they heard.
General Sweeney's comparison of
the United States With other world
powers in the strength of our navy
and army, in literature, art and sci
ence, was particular interesting just
at-this time. To those not posted
in such matters his statistics re
yealed weakness that was some
what startling. He shswed that
the III tied States in these particu-
lars is only fifth or six rate power,
aud not the greatest nation on
earth" in the sense meant by the
spread eagle orator. lie maintained
however that we are the greatest
ustiap in the world because our
government is founded on the prin
ciple of service TO the people Ser
vice., was the theme of the whole
lecture and the golden age of man
or any of his institutions is reached
when he or they attains the highest
capability of service.
General Sweeneys graphic de
scriptio1 Of the attitude OF Russia
was also particularly timely. He
pictured the Gear in his efforts TO
seize Manchuria and Kosea, looking
with roventos eyes upon India and
lowering like a vultufe over Turkey.
The brilliant wit that flashed
throughout the lecture and the hum
oruus stories illustrative OF the

prominent made the discourse very
entertaining.
