FACULTY'S STATEMENT

New York, Feb 10.-Heads of CO.
lumbia University have given posi-
tive denial to charges made at meet

way, dean of the law school; J. H.
Van Amringe, dean Of Columbia col
lege and Professor G. F. Sever, acting
dean Of the school Of applied science,
deny emphatically the existence of any
discrimination. Many Hebrew stu

had said, and stated that the cry of
race prejudice in the institution was
without cause, and was the work of a
few dissatisfied students who mag

conservatives a pronounced opposition
to the new movement was expressed,
and several Hebrew students announc-
ed publicly that they would have
nothing to do with it. These stu

grounds whatever for the charge that
the Hebrews were not allowed to get
any of the scholarships, and said that
the records of the institution from
year to year would furnish ample re-
futation of the charge
