TO OBTAIN HIS DEGREE
AS A MINING ENGlNEER

NEW YORK. May 5.-Kingdon
Gould. son of George Gould, falling to
obtain the degree OF mining engineer
at Columbia, win sail for Europe with
his father. next Tuesday The young
millionaire for three years has been
trying TO live down an encounter with
several sophomores, whom he drove
of with pistol when they attempted
TO haze him. He has not been able to
make himself popular with his class
mates. but II Is due TO his failure TO
attend the summer school OF survey
ing and railroading at Camp Column
bia, Ltchfeld, Conn. for the past two
years that young Gould will not re-
ceive his degree.
Kingdom Gould entered the Column
bia school Of mines In 1904. During
the last two years Gould has used ev-
cry effort TO rehabilitate himself in
the good graces of the students. He
purchased an eight-oared shell for the
Columbia crew and last year gave a
large amount of money for track ath-
letics. His generosity In this direc-
ton has been appreciated. but the stu
dents still insist that he can never
make up for his refusal to submit to
hazing when freshmen.

II was decided at the Harrisburg
conference OF the bishops that the
two most important questions TO come
before the conference were those OF
amusements and the time limit OF pas
torates. Petitions have come from
many conferences and many Epworth
league chapters requesting that the
clause relating to social amusements
be made not mandatory, but be In
serted in the discipline In an ad-
visory way. There Is strong senti-
ment throughout the church not fav-
oring such social amusements as the
theater, but favoring the placing Of
the responsibility on the individual
instead OF having thee hurch deal au-
thoritatively with the matter.
