The class and conduct record of the Z

OF 1904-'O5 was good, but, on the final
day of the session, the conduct Of tho n
ward wan such that the commandnnt$ OF
cadets, Major Il H. Strother, Twenty

From the above. It will appear that Dr.
Darlington had q grievance OF q personal 5#

the institute. and 1t Ia at least possible
that his views on the subject as to. which,
he has mnde a publication have BEEN
somewhat colored and biased by dwelling m
upon that grievance: It Will also appear
to what extent he was q patron OF the Al
Institute.
