PECK REFUSES TO QUIT
Counsel for Columbia Professor
States His Reasons.

Professor Harry Thurston Peck tr.. An
thon professor OF Latin at Columbia Uni
gersity, has refused the demand of the
education committee of the trustees of the
university for his resignation. Professor
Peck is the defendant in a suit for breach
of promise by Miss Esther Quinn. and the
publication OF number of amorous letters
alleged TO have been written by the pro-
fessor is believed to be the ground Of the
action of the education committee
David c. Bennett. ir-. of Tappan & Ben
nett, counsel for Professor Peck In the
breach of promise suit. said yesterday that
the reason for his clients refusal to &C
cede to the committees demand was that
they had failed to give any reason Tor
their action
Professor Peck denies the authorship OF
the letters published" said Mr.. Bennett,
and It seems strange that the commit
tee within thirty-six hours of the punh-
cation of these letters should have taken
such action. The letter written by Presl-
dent Nicholas MURRAY Butler demanding
Professor Peck's resignation is dated June
3. but II was forwarded only on June j.
after President Butler had sailed Tor
Europe. The next Gay Professor Fech
wrote to the Rev Dr. Edward B. Gee.
chairman 49,
grounds of complaint against him In just
about the time it would take 10 cable Pres
ident Butler and get reply from him. Ut
Coe replied but evaded the very natural
question.
We take the ground that as the proies-
sor's competency has been recognized re-
peatedly by the university. there Is no
ground for his dismissal, and moreover tha'
only the trustees being competent TO deai
with the question the education commit
too has no authority in the matter
I'm his renIv TO Dr. Goes second letter
Professor Peck points out that the request
of DR. Butler coming the day AFTER INC
publication of scandalous letters OF Whlch
he denies the authorship appears to nave
been Influenced by the publication. III TINS
10 so Professor Peck claims that such
action would prejudice his defence OF the
suit and his actions for libel against the
newspapers which published the letters " e
maintain that the trustees cannot DISMISS
the professor without laying a charge anu
In any case. as the fiscal year at Coiumola
ards to-day that Professor Peck remains
. ,,,a,ohar of the faculty at least for an
other year"
The Rey. DR., Edward 3. Coe. chairman OF
the education committee. SAID last "'s ~
that he had no comment 10 make as ne
had acted In his official capacity ana MS
action smoke for itself. Another member
or fine committee said that 1t was not d
question OF the competency OF the pro-
fessor but one OF maintaining the tone
of the university.
