morse which overlook him IN his later
years for his share In the RESPONSIBLE

and regard, and that since his death

gents have decided upon Colonel

later.
The new military order providing
for compulsory cadet instruction for

quaint himself with the situation and

future policy of the university admin

ed that the regents are inclined to be-
lieve that Colonel Hodges Ia best fit

the defendants This ca Sc is most in
teresting on account of involving the
question of Announcements made by
the testator ard charging the same

Tabler had borrowed large sum of
money from his father and had given

afterwards paid by the heirs of Nj. S.
Tabler to Harrison Tabler IN his life
time, but Harrison Tabler devised TO
