THEREFORE,.
RESOLVED
Ist Is all the Public Has
learned so far. From the
willamette Laundry


or in it's report on the expulsion
professor w. T. Drew from the fac
of willamette university, merely
IssCluted" and failed to go into any
the reasons for his dismissal. Al
the ministers were very indignant
we're at once going to make of the
ndom teacher of Greek and Latin 6
rtyr of the Stephen brand. Rumors
Eeyer kept coming to the clergy
it might be possible that there
h other reasons foy the professor.
Doyal than his fight against saloons
the strong ministerial protest
;udled down to "a set of resolutions
regret. 1t seems almost another in.
nee of the classical story of the
ions ct Mus"
he clergymen were two full hours
executive session discussing the
kw matter and the result of their
ms was draw, as follows:
Report of the Ministerial Union OF
em in the dismissal of Professor w
Drew from the faculty Of Willamette
|vesity:
|fWhereas, 1t has come to the knowl-
h of this union that Professor W.
Drew has been dismissed from the
5nlty of Willamette university, and
7Whereas, Professor Drew is a mem
of this union and has always taken
active interest in all of its efforts
the promotion of the moral welfare
good name of the city, doing all
his power to promote its righteous
to suppress amd banish its vices,
bby his courage and manly endeavors
bpelled the salons to close their
RS on Sunday, and this in such a
tner and spirit as to compel the ad-
|ation of friend and foe;
Resolved, That we greatly uegret
lose Professor Drew from our union
] grieve at his enforced departure
n our city.
Resolved, That in the removal of
tesso- Drew from our city the cause
dvic righteousness loses one of It's
most Leaders and advocates.
Resolwed, That we deeply deplore
dismissal from the faculty of Will
ette university, where he is so pop
J with the student body, and where
great abilities and success as a
cher is conceded by all, and where
! Christian life and influence have
50 maraued and beneficial power
p his scholars.
Resolved, That we assure Professor
w of our unbounded confidence in
J as a teacher, our large respect IN
as man, and of our warm atfec-
b for him as friend, and that all
thy citizens honor him for his sterl-
Integrity, his genuine Christian man
d and his high ideals, and for whar
has accomplished for the moral bet
fment of THE city.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
hted in the local papers and a copy
them given to Professor Drew.
} is not supposed that the Drew mat
is by amy means settled for all time
1t is very likely that the Mctho'
church will shy it's castor INTO phe
VA and continual nagging VIII IN
p perhaps smoke out President Cole
p and cause him to tell the real nea'
for the dropping of Professor Drew
m the faculty.
Is umored in the city that at the
sing of che board OF trustees, Presi'
Coleman told the body that ne
money to complete and organize
theological school and a FUND Oh
~ in addition; but that If Drew 10
Ened, he-the presideut--wcnld g
would take with him the theOlog
school and the $1,000 worth OF Sin
Of war. me
DAews friends say that the bait wa'
tempting and that the trustees
od do nothing but fire the teache'
dreek and Latin.
N the meantims the comm1utee OIL
sulty of ths board of trustees OF tn'
'eraty is supposed to be inveSnga'
ahs charges against Professor boy
dean of the Normal school OF tn'
'@sty, that were preferred agalhs'
BY the student body. and the pup
awaits this report with Da'e'
sth.
