vented consideration by the board Of
important institutional matters. --s@----
Figures Not Correct.
Tenth. In an editorial article writ
ten by the president for the College
Bulletin OF October, 1873, an official
publication, intended for large circu-
lation and for accurate information,
the president made certain errors,
which eeem to indicate an absolute
absence OF accurate Information con-
corning the institution over which he
presides. In that editorial he states
that the number of sophomores for d
certain year was 10s, when. as q mat
ter of fact, the number was 16s. This
discrepancy is SO great that II IL diff
cult to understand how 1t could have
occurred. The president then uses
these figures to produce certain per-
cottages in order to show the different
advantages of certain policies.
In q publication made. intended to
circulate among the farmers and their
sons, for the purpose of Inducing thessa-
TO patroniZe the college. the president
states In two consecutive annual state
ments that there were at the college
100 active cows, when, as matter OF
fact. there was not more than thirty.
1t la not conceivable, but that young
men who come to the college to study
agriculture, and who would therefore
become conversant with these facts,
could not have had their confidence in
the college shaken by such obvious
and repeated rnisstatements of obvious
facts

no method by which the financial con-
ditions of these departments could be

Twelfth. In 1909 the loss of the
farm was a little more than SIS COG,
which would have been most disas-
trous to the Institution except for In
creased appropriations from the State
and national governments. This great
loss was on the farm proper and not
of the experiment station. the expenses
of which are paid by the United States
government. That an agricultural
school should lose $4,000 on running

object lesson to those who would learn

1t La not conceivable that that mum Der
of young men. under military disei-
piine, should have broken up and de-
stroyed that much dining room equip
ment IN one session. After complaint
by tne finance committee of the board

was reduced to $3.50.

Fourteenth. The important o4laii0
cation OF college president Is a rea-
sonable amount of tact This DIR. Bar
ringer has notably not exercised. In
May, 1903, the Ministers Conference
or Rlacksburg addressed to Prof.
Barringer. as president. a protest
against certain abuses which thev
claimed had grown up In the social
life OF the Virginia Poiytech lie Insti-
tute. and among other things depre-
Gated the minimizing OF the literary
features during the session, aud es-
peciaily at commencement To thai
communication DR.. Barringer. as
president, addressed an answer which
seems 10 ns not TO be as dignified as
the occasion required. Among other
things he says:
Il suppose that you refer here to
the fact that young women sometimes
come chaperoned TO the village hotels.
IL this Is a grievance ] do not see how
/ can be of much service Those girls
who come here In this way are either
as we'll chaperoned SIS they themselves
or their mothers desire, or else eestr-
Gus OF better protection. they find il
i'm possible of attainment because Of
local prejudice which exists here
against girls that dance, and a conse
uuent refusal on the part of many to
have them into private homes" Again
he says: Il can but feel that If YOU.
gentlemen, really think it unsafe for
these girls at the hotels. you should
take the matter up with some of those
adamantine sisters In this community.

tended horror on these girls and see
