faculty that should the students not come pack
there would be no change in the attitude OF the
professors.
SAY MAN PUNISHED WAS INNOCENT.
They had called In Mr. Young who was sus-
pended and Arthur II. Sherin, the president OF
the student body, for explanation. after the
ducking, and the result was founss susPehS :

names of those responsible.
This the professors deny. but the students are
not inclined to back down. 1t was said. now
ever that Young's suspension WOULD probably
not extend beyond next Tuesday, when the
faculty meets and as it is known that word 10

prophesied. be followed by a return TO studles-
1t was said by students that there was no
disposition to back down. that they should de-
eide who should remain in the classes and De
the court of last resort.
Bloch was said to be at the university yester-
day. but he kept out of the way. The students
boat crews were out for practice as usual yeslef-
day on the Harlem River.
The baseball game scheduled for to-day with
Bowdoin will be played either on the university
grounds on another grounds The 1acuily
has sent out word that the nine to play the
game cannot be recognized as the university
nine unless the members return to the univer-
sity discipline, and that they will not be per-
mitted to play the university grounds Every
right to university life Will be denied to the
students until they submit to the faculty dis
cipline. But last evening the boys were all in
their dormitories. some were studying, others,
who presumably had nothing to study, were
singing class songs. and all were going along
just as if there was not a rebellion against the
discipline of the university.
FACULTY WILL NOT YIELD.
member of the faculty said last evening
to a reporter for The Tribune: THE action of
the students is the acme of arbitrariness- Be
cause this boy was unpopular they have gone
to extremes to get rid of him Last autumn
they wrote his father requesting that he
withdraw his son. We heard about the letter.
and IT held back.
1T is absurd to suppose that We can permit
the boys to control policy. Their action is
revolutionary, but is an evidence of the spirit
of the times, a seeing red even among the
boys of this generation We had Mr.. Sherin,
Mr.. Mowen Mr.. Thompson and two others of
the student cabinet before US to-day. They
admitted that they wrong. They wanted
to know whether would not infict some
other penalty upon Young, but refused to
answer and sent the communication TO the
bulletin board, delaying everything until next
Tuesday. Why. the boys admitted that there
was an organized effort to get Bloch of COL |
lege. They even claimed to have the right TO
force him out. 1t is all extremely absurd. But
at the same time there is element of de-
cided seriousness about it. IL should give |
in the least. where would discipline be?
Who would be at the head of the college the |
Where would organization be?''
Chancellor MacCracken is in Copenhagen, and
it was said last evening that an account Of the
rebellion sent to him by cable. The uni
versty in his absence is managed by the
faculty.
