He said that he would not discuss
the purely legal question OF the

though he doubted their right to APP

the EQUITIES in the case as they APP

by the Randolph Macon board of the
famous Carnegie resolutions of
August, 1905, which declared that "in
the selection of trustees there are no
UNCONVENTIONAL tests" While 1t Is
not provided in the charter the facts
as agreed upon by both sides clearly

1T was INST accidental that they were

conference, and two-thirds from the
