We arc not doing this simply through
sympathy for Professor Haynes, but
we do believe that he has boon I'M
Justly treated. There arc only l25
students iii the commercial Depart
mont OF this college. and without an
exception We believe they AFRO all III
favor &c Professor Haynes being re-
instutcd.
I'm PROFESSOR Layiioid's roply In
! yesterdays paper he stated that Pro-
lessor llayncs resigned his position
when he started TO his homo. This Is
evidently II mistake, as it was under
stood ~ Professor fuylieli and the
students that he would return at the
cnd OF two wcck:; to resume his dutics
as teacher. Furthcrtnorc. Professor
IJnyiicld. manager of this college. en-
ployed this young man temporarily for
tho two weeks; that Professor Haynes
expected to be away, and said that he
would inform Professor Massey as to
the latter arrangement. Now, it is not
our Intention to do the Massey Bust
ness College any Injustice, but It Is
human nature for us to desire Just
treatment in return. It is true that
VIC have, with very few exceptions,
paid our tuition III advance; however,
if we cunnot get what We regard as
the proper instruction.. wo think it bet
ter to get instruction elsewhere and
debit experience for the amount paid.
Feel Need Of Chnngc.
Professor Layiield further stated in
yesterdays paper that nc thought It
absolutely necessary TO engage this
young man so that the students would
receive proper instruction, and VIC
think 1t necessary to make a change
SO mat We VIII receive proper instruc-
ton.
1T Is true enough that wc are young
men. at tho same time, VIC arc not
Infants. as the majority of us have
earned the money with which TO pay
our expenses while at schoo We arc
not asking any impossibilities. We are
only asking the callcEo TO furnish us
competent teachers, us emphasized In
their catalogues.
In our closing remarks We wish to
state thar VIC are not testing In this
matter. We have carefully considered
tho existing conditions and have made
up our minds to stand firmly by our
resolutions.
