ten to Lecture by President.
An outburst of feeling, having its orig
in in the removal of President Droppers,
eliminated when the students of South
Dakota university, in Yermilion, revolted
and, stealing the chairs from the chapel
refused to listen to the address of Presi
dent Gault. When President Gault went
to chapel the other morning the chairs
were gone and there was nothing for the
handful of students who followed him to
sit on but TIE floor. The president then
went to thv aemory, where he delivered
part of his address. While on the surface
the affair had the appearance of a prank,
there is personal feeling beneath it
which is directly traced to the friends Of
Droppers. An Investigation was ordered.
