Mr.. Hardy perhaps has made
mistakes, the trustees the same and
all others connected with the mat
ter, and it is not for us to say they
have not done 50, but after the in
vestigation, after all the testimony
has been heard and the matter clos
ed, it should stay closed. II Mr..
Hardy is utterly unable to manage
the affairs Of the college, if his in
competency is such that the interest
of the college would suffer while he
is connected with it, if he is incap-
able Of doing the right thing, and If
he is so thoroughly distasteful to the
large body Of students that he can
have no control over them, it is a
matter Of course he should step
down and out. But the findings of
the board do not show this. 1t
shows there are a few who do not
agree with him; that perhaps he
acted a little hasty when the trou-
BILE first came up, etc, but it does
not show the state of affairs that
some seem to think. The college
has prospered under his administra-
ton, it has grown too large proper
tons, perhaps too large, it has
made rapid advancement along all
lines, and this is the first time any
serious trouble has ever arose. Then
is he and the trustees to be con-
demned and have such things said
about them as the matter was white
washed and the investigation was
unfair and wholly biased, etc,t
To argue thus and urge the mat
ter on is to do irreparable injury to
the college. The president has
been cxhonerated and the matter
should rest. He states that there
are far more applications already
than there is room, and the pros
poets for the next session Is exceed
ingly bright. Governor Noel, as
chairman Of the board, and most of
the other trustees say the same;
then in the place of trying to tear
down the college, why not try to
build it up? The trustees are the
sole arbiters of the trouble, and
