NELL WILL RETIRE.


 Anderson, s. C., Aug. 14.-The Board of Trustees of Clemson Agricultural College today accepted the resignation of President P. H. Nell. which was submitted in June last.
 pr. Nell has agreed to serve until January to enable the board to se- lect his successor.
 Dr. Nell has been head of the school for seven years. His resignation fol- lowed a clash in the faculty in which he claimed the rules of the college de- fining the duties of commandant of ca dets were not clear enough to prevent the latter from thinking he Is higher In authority than the President, and that the President is not consulted to any extent in he selection of the fac ulty.
 A committee of trustees. with Sena- tor Tillman as Chairman, consulted with Dr. Nell and later the board adopted the report of the committee recommending changes as suggested by the President.
 When members of the board in- formed Dr. Nell of their action he in- formed them he had decided to retire to private life and his resignation was reluctantly accepted.
