PRESIDENT IS ExoEERATED

College Station. Tex. Feb. 1s.-Ai- though the Texas Agricultural and Me- chanical College today has official 1y sustained and exonerated President. the institution is without student body. Of normal attendance of more than 500 there are tonight but slight- ly over 800 students at the school and many of these are drawing their trav- cling expenses preparatory to depart ing
 The opposition on the part of the students to President H. H.. Harring- ton became so emphatic last week that the Board of Directors was called to- gether and that body has been in all most continuous session ever since. Tuesday night the directors finally agreed to allow the students to present their grievances on condition that classes be resumed pending the termi- nation of the hearing. The senior class agreed to this, not promising. however, to abide by the decision. The juniors, sophomores and freshmen declined to become parties to the truce. demanding the dismissal of the President. The faculty on Wednesday posted notices that all students not reporting by 2 o'clock D. m. would be automatically suspended. The seniors reported for duty according to their agreement. in the meantime presenting their side of the controversy to the Board. The oth- CT classes did not report and were sus- pended.
 The consideration of the charges preferred against President Earring ton was concluded by the beard today and the decision announced was . complete vindicatlon. The seniors thereupon formally announced their withdrawal from the college and joined their brethren of the other classes. To- night members ef the Alumni Associa- tion of Houston are interceding with the students yet on the campus in an effort to have them yield, but there is little prospect cf success.
