sage from Lexington, saying That the
third class was then In session, and that
all but seven members had agreed to sign
an expression OF regret, and there was q
hope Of getting the entire class into line.
Any recession by the board would have g
bad effect. Mr.. Shields said the ACADEMIC
department of tho Institute had placed
itself on record to the effect that IL the
board settled the matter on any other
basis than that defined ut the last meet
ing 1t would prejudice discipline and
would have a disastrous effect on the
corps and particularly on the third class.

and several others spoke. Captain Smith
said l,e considered the question one of
construction OF words and not of discip-
line. lie thought the boys had complied
with the demand Of the authorities.
Attitude of Board.
Tho attitude OF tho board was set
forth al length by Mr.. Hamilton, WHO
spoke with great feeling The chairman
declared that II tho characterization of tho
cadets went unpublished In the absence
OF any expression Of regret It would
strike at the very fOundatlon ol tue III :.
stitute. The expression of regret had
been specifically stricken from the pa
per, which he considered inadequate. since
ii Indicated the continuance OF a defiant
and insubordinate spirit.
lie thought it likely that tho food com
plant was simply cloak for insubor-
dina,on. If the cadets were to be per-
mittcd under the guise of u folish oath
TO submit the principles OF discipline on
which the school were based, the board
might as we'll close the Institute at once.
1T may, perhaps, be timo for me to
resign ard give place to sonre younger
man." said MIR. Hamilton, bot while |

duty. 1t is the most unpleasant duty OF
my life, but 1t must be done. ] regard
this rs the crucial point In the history
OF the Institute"
Mr.. Hamilton strongly urged that the
board stnnd firm In its position, but give
tho boys time for further consideration.
He spoke earnestly, and his words carried
great weight. Shortly after he sat down
the vote on the resolutions was taken,
resulting as already Indicated.
