ates Enthusiasm.

University's graduate school question,
which began with the offer some weeks
ago by William c. Proctor of Cincinnati
of $500, 900 as an endowment for a grad
uate school and ended with its with
drawal. was the main topic OF discussion
at the eleventh annual meeting here to-
day of the Western Association of Prince
ton Clubs. President Woodrow Wilson
and Mr.. Proctor occupied adjoining seats
at luncheon.
Mr.. Proctor's Statement.
AS soon as DR.. Wilson concluded his
remarks Mr.. Proctor responded by say
ing:
After hearing President Wilson'S state
ment. 1 can't see any reason for the mis-
understanding which 1 am now con-
WINGED exists. and If / am right that
misunderstanding can be easily removed.
I hope and believe that out Of all the
discussion there may be a new enthusi-
asm for Princeton and that we will have
graduate college when we are ready
or it,
Mr. Proctor was cheered and was car
ried from the room at the close of the
program on the shoulders Of some of
the delegates.
Quad System Not Revived.
DR.. Wilson declared that nobody has
ever revived the squad system, which is
alleged to have had some connection with
the present dispute. He traced the de-
velopment of the graduate school and ex
pressed the opinion that Princeton has
been heretofore concentrating entirely or
her undergraduate department, but hac
not turned the resources Of instruction to
the graduate school until quite recently.
1T was at this juncture.' he said
when we were connecting the graduate
development with the whole organic
process which we had worked out through
previous years, that Mr.. Proctor came
forward and made his generous Offer

When Flynn joined the Pirates a year

went back on him last year and he could
