PEACE REIaNs AT a. AND M
President Hardy Sustained by the
Board of Trustees.

Board of Trustees.
Three hundred students Of the A.
and M. college at Starkville left that
institution because Of dissatisfaction
with the condition OF the mess hall.
The board Of trustees, after an inves-
tigation of the matter, passed the fol-
lowing order:
"First-That the action of the presi-
dent, J. c. Hardy, in removing Capt.
Welborn from the position of command
ant of said college is approved.
at is further the opinion of the
board hat the interests of the college
demand that Capt. Welborn's connec-
ton with the college cease ct the
earliest possible date.
"Second-That while we think the
action of the president in DISTRESSING
from the faculty DR.. L. w. Crigler was
rather hasty, and not altogether justi-
fed by the facts adduced before the
board, touching the conduct of DR..
Crigler, before such dismissal. But
subsequent to the dismissal, while still
on the campus, awaiting a review OF
his case by. the board of trustees, it is
shown by the doctors W admission
that he called upon the senior class
and expressed his approval of their de-
termination to leave the college, thus
placing himself in open antagonism to
the proper discipline of the college. 1t
is the opinion of the board that his fur.
Their connection with the college as
physician would be hurtful to the same.
"Third-The president having been
informed of the approval of his action
in relieving Capt. Welborn and in re-
moving DR.. Crigler, came before the
board, On his own accord, and stated
hat he had reinstated E. r. Blanton,
which the board heartily approves.
The committee of the senior class being
present, expressed their qualification at
the action of the president in reinstat-
ing Mr.. Blanton. and promised the
board, with their classmates who had
gone home, to return at once to the col
lege and resume their work.
"Fourth-The board recognizes the
fact that the mess hall management
has been n of the weak points about
the college, and the unsanitary condi-
ton of the old house renders it impos-
sible to make it as it should be, still it
is susceptible of being greatly i'm
proved. The president is directed to
push the work on the new mess hall as
rapidly as possible. and also to employ
a more capable steward, the necessary
cooks and servants to give to the stu.
dent body food better prepared and
| better served.
