ACTION BY ALUMNI.
Members Memorabilia Governor and
Affirm Loyalty to University.

About twenty-five members of the
of Wyoming We're present at a meet
ing at the auditorium of the Carnegie
building last evening, at which Presi-
cent r. e. Fitch of the association
presided and Miss Alice Holiday, the
secretary of the association, acted as
secretary of the meeting. The follow
ing memorial to Governor Brooks was
unanimously adopted as the expression
of the members of the association pres
ent at the meeting:
To His Excellency. Bryant B. Brooks,
Governor of Wyoming.
Strive do respectfully submit the
following:
Be it Resolved, That We, members
of the Alumni association of the Uni
versity of Wyoming, in meeting as
sembled, express our u~nalterable 10y
atty and love for our Alma Mater, and
our conviction that the institution
stands ~unassailable for its work in
higher education.
We deplore the crisis which appears
TO have arisen in the affairs of the uni.
versity, and are determined, individ-
ually and collectively, to do all that
lies in our power to remedy such con-
dition.
We believe that the carrying out of
the recommendations of the recent in.
vestigating committee will relieve the
present crisis and restore the insti.
tuition to the position it deserves in
the confidence of the people of the
state.
We would respectfully request his
excellency, the governor of Wyoming,
that one, at least, and, if possible, two,
members of the board of trustees OF
the university be selected from among
the alumni, to act as representatives
of the Alumni association.
We would especially recommend that
the board of trustees centralize all ex.
ecutive powers in the office of the
president of the university, and make
all departments subordinate to his au.
thority. Should the statutes of the
state stand in the way of this. we rec,
ommend that the statutes be altered
as soon as possible.
We would further recommend that
as o o as the funds be available, the
salary of the president of the univer.
sity be raised to $4,000 a year.
We endorse the recommendation
made in section 6 of the report of the
investigating committee, as follows:
I'VE recommend that the citizens of
Wyoming %acquaint themselves with
the fact that there is a splendid and
adequate equipment and an excellent
and capable corps of professors and
instructors at our state university, and
that those parents or guardians who
do not avail themselves Of these op.
portunities held open to their sons and
daughters are neglecting a duty
toward the men and women of the
future. And in this same connection
we recommend that the citizens of
Laramie be more cautious in their
criticism of the university located in
their midst and reflect a greater 10y.
atty to the only institution for higher
education within our borders"

jority would offer the same old argu-
ment, The president must be given a

Mr.. Tisdel now ccuse of being the
ruination of the university, was the
pow er that always stood up for the
president through thick and thin, aud
for good or bad. Mr.. Tisdel was givea

recommendations was the purchasing

mendations were proposed. The rec

and Mr.. Tisdel felt hurt. And it wa
at this meeting that the question came
up as to whether or not the present
incumbent should be retained as pres,

vote stood four to four against retain,

says, the university has not kept III

the president has had full swing, as Re

Mr.. Tisdel is an educated man, ant
he is a pleasant gentleman to meet
but he does not possess the tact, the
simplicity and the ommonnes to be
a success as president Of a university
in a western state, and the letter he
has written to the public is proof
enough that he has been in the wrons
position for four years past.

Mokler on the Matter.

The following editorial will appear
in the issue of the Casper Tribune for
Wednesday, April 1. the editor of that
paper, Hon. A. j. Mokler, being a men,
Der of the board of trustees of the I'm
i~versity of Wyoming and who is attend,
ing the meeting of the board here to-
day. The article will appear under
the caption, President Tisdel and the
University"
The University of Wyoming seems
to be unfortunate in getting a kick
from the very men who should give it
a helping hand. the latest stab in the
back received by that institution
comes from Frederick NJ. Tisdel.
president of the university for nearly
four years, and whose term expires
next June, but who will not be retain
ed after that time. In a long letter
addressed to the alumni and the
friends of the university, Mr.. Tisdel
says the university is hampered by pol.
itics; it does not have the confidence
of the people, and it must be placed
upon aNpurely educational basis before
it ian be successful, and Mr. Tisdel is
correct to a considerable extent.
Mr.. Tisdel was elected to the presi.
dency of the university through a po-
litical pull, and during the first year
that he vas at the head of the institu
ton he showed an inclination to get
into the political game, almost before
he got his seat warm. He went to. the
legislature as a lobbyist, and was Sc
verely criticised by the very newspa.
pers that are now singing his praises,
and it was a hard matter for his
friends and the friends of the uniyer-
sity to keep him at the institution
where he belonged.
Mr.. Tisdel attended every meeting
of the board of trustees and ne always
had a good supply of recommendations
and suggestions for the consideration
and action of the board, and in nearly
every instance, until the meeting last
December, his every request was grant
ed. No man ever had more complete
control of an institution than Mr.. Tis
del had the first three years he was
at the head of the university. AL
some of his recommendations
were absurd they were granted by a
vote of a majority of the trustees, and
while the minority objected, and offer.

FOUND SOME BONES
LONG TIME BURIED.

w. ]. Kelly of the Stickney ranch
late yesterday afternoon came across
some human bones about eighteen
riding horseback. and will make a
further investigation. He noticed a
bone resembling a human lower jaw
and verified this on close examination.
He also saw the skull under a heap of
stones. The bones were under the
stones and the body had probably been
buried about two feet deep, the wind
eroding the mound. Whether the
bones are those of an Indian or white
mar Mr.. Kelly did not know. He
thinks they may have been there for
thirty-five or forty years, or perhaps
longer.
