SAY INJUSTICE WAS DONE

Asserted.

The action which the board of trus-
tees of Howard University will take
next Thursday on the resignation of
DR. John Gordon, president Of the uni
versity for the past two years. is
awaited with keen interest by nearly
everyone connected with the institu-
ton.
There is a feeling manifested in many
quarters that it would be great intus-
tice TO let DIR. Gordon go at this time
OF the year merely because he is per
soma non grata" to some of the deans
under him and \ small percentage of
the students.
There are others. however who do
not hesitate 20 declare that the entire
matter which brought about DIR. Cor
dons sudden resignation Is nothing more
nor less than "a put up job for the
very purpose of getting him out to make
room for some ambitious man who
would like to get into his shoes

need nothing short of a Congressional
investigation" said one who is in close
touch with the university affairs.

"Of course" he continued, no one
wishes to be quoted on this matter just
