A STATEMENT
FROM CHAREST
SECRETARY n OF RoLLo STATUE
COMMITTEE HAS ANNOUNCE
MENT TO PUBLIC REGARDING
ONE or SPEECHES MADE AT
THE UNWILLING.

TO The Forum: The Rollo statue
committee deeply regrets the contro-
versial discourse delivered by Prof.
Julius Olson of the State University of
wisconsin at the unveiling of the Rollo
monument on July IL, and hastens to
assure the public in this manner that
the Rollo statue committee was not
cogntzant of the import of this dis
course in advance.
The speaker was professor of rep
utation as an orator and the committee
felt safe that his judgment as to the
propriettes OF the occasion were equal
to his eagerness and reputed ability,
and for that reason he was not called
upon to submit his manuscript for ex-
animation.
The Rollo statue committee recog-
nizes fully the fact that Prof. Julius
Olson's discourse was totally out OF
place, inappropriate and decidedly dis
courteous to the whole population. We
feel deeply grieved and humiliated
thereby
