Penn. Trustee Defends
Vote Against Nearing
fBY Telegraph to The Tribune.

Philadelphia, June 22.-John c. BeH,
one of the trustees of the University
OF Pennsylvania, who voted against re-
tanning Professor Nearing, issued the
first public statement tonight that has
come from any trustee. Mr.. Bell, IN
his statement, explains his vote against
Nearing. He says:
| voted against the unemployment
of Doctor Nearing. | did so in the
discharge of my duty as trustee, be-
cause | believed that the good OF the
service and of the university required
ne so to do, and because Of profess
sional utterances in the university.
unbecoming a teacher, and against the
best interests of the institution and
its student body. ! shall not enter
into detail further than TO say, as an
indicative instance that an instructor
who intemperately declares, as re
ported to us by his dean, that If |
had a son, would rather see him IN
hell than have him go TO the Episco-
pal Academy of the long estab-
lished and best preparatory schools
in the city and fitting school of the
university invites dismissal.
OR Nearing's contract of employ
ment by the university was yearly
one. II terminated at the end OF the
present academic year He was then
at liberty TO renew the contract or
90 elsewhere, as he chose. The uni
yersity had a corresponding right. Ac-
cordingly the trustees, in their best
Judgment and a conscientious dis
charge Of their duties, decided not to
re.employ him.

New Haven, June 22.-Eforts adver-
tised by the Yale faculty to make the
present commencement celebration a
serious minded, soft pedal affair be-
cause OF the European war and ma
tional complications were not effective
in the parade of 5000 alumni to the
Yale-Harvard baseball game this after
noon.
The class Of 1912, celebrating their
triennial in Alpine toggery, called a
Swiss navy" costume, easily captured
leading honors. They wore green
trousers and boleros. yellow belts and
ties. At the head Of the class came the
placard, The Swiss navy never takes
water" Close behind was the sign,
"Ninety-seven Of US married and on the
firing line" Next was "Yodel no, for
the brave Swiss sailors life" and
"Jung-frau warriors; no grape Juice
for ours"
The class placarded its casualties as
follows: "Sober, II; excited, rs; un-
conscious, SO; expect TO be, 2l8." Its
next banner read: God gave US life,
Yale an education, but who's respon-
sihle for Bryan"
The sexennial class, 'O9, made far
ing hit as fremen, their blue and red
trousers and coats, their red helmets
and hatchets outraging the serenity
of the effect of the blue and white
traditional costumes of the older
classes. The sign placarding their war
cry was: Liquids quench fire. Dry
reunions are impossible" Another
read: IF you want to go to war, 90 to
hell; we're neutral" The class also
advertised: "Well back Bryan, just as
if his name was Harvard"

THE directors are of the opinion
that a preference will be shown by our
members to such firms abroad as are
not trading, either directly or indi-

American associate members, who are
able and willing TO make a declaration
to this effect, should be posted in the

Believing that his money was safer
in the coachman's overalls than in his
own trousers, Belmont Burdett Magee,
son of Alfred J. Magee, a wealthy con-
tractor of Great Neck, Long Island,
conducted a private banking system all
his own in his fathers barn. Some.
times an old shoe lying in an unused
stall would have a $50 roll of the
young mans bills, or again he would
drop a few greenbacks into the curry
comb box.
The object of these precautions was
to keep the money from his young
wife, Florence Deems Magee, who OBJ
tanned yesterday a decree of absolute
divorce. Magee's banking system as
only one of the details of their mar
ried life which were aired before JUS
tice Blackmar in the Queens County
Supreme Court yesterday.
Mrs. Magee is the daughter of Dr..
Frank NJ. Deems, of Flushing. Her
grandfather was the Rev. Charles Force
Deems, who, with W. X. Vanderbilt,
founded the Church of the Strangers,
in New York, and for whom the Deems
Memorial Church, in which the Magees
were married in 1911, was named.

CHANCELLOR DAY
UpHOLDS TRUSTEES
Says "Merciful Consideration
Keeps Public from Knowing
All Nearing Facts.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF Inc tribune.
Sir: The Pennsylvania professor who
proposed to hold his position in de-
fance Of the administration which was
the only authority as to the terms and
obligations Of his professorship was
properly dismissed. That is what
would happen TO an editorial writer OF
The Tribune if he were TO disregard
the things for which the paper stands
and, for instance, write Bull Moose or
Democratic politics into The Tribune
because such was his conscience or
convictions. Conscience is not an in
fallible guide, as any novice knows,
and convictions must be more than
honest: they must be correct.
If the professor has the right to
give up his position because Of his
conscience and conviction, what about
the right Of the trustees TO consult
their consciences and convictions?
Have they not as much right to act
By their conscences as he has? Have
they not the right 10 act according TO
their best judgment after securing all
the facts?
The terms Of PROFESSIONAL service
are made TO conform TO the treasurer
of the board of trustees or the over
seers. When the trustees decide the
best interest Of the university demands
his removal the manly and honest
thing for the incumbent to do is TO go
quietly.
II is a serious reflection upon the
honesty and manliness of any man
whose term of service is closed by the
trustees 10 kick up a rumpus and 10
appeal TO the sympathy of the public,
that cannot know all of the case as
the trustees know it.
The case is not one of conscientious
free speech alone, for conscience must
always rectify like a compass for an
infallible standard. II it be a matter
Of conviction as TO the merits of the
