METHODISTS GIVE
UP VANDERBILT U.
With Unfavorable Supreme
Court Decision to Fight
Church SulTendcrs.

MEMPHIS, Feb. 2O.-The educa-
tional commission Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, south, in session
here today decided to abandon the
contest for control Of Vanderbilt uni
versity and to devote all its energies
to the upbuilding Of the educational
institutions to be established by the
church at Atlanta, Ca, and Dallas
Texas.
Claims of the church to jurisdiction
over Vanderbilt university were de-
MED by the Tennessee supreme court
several years ago and the commission
was empowered by the last general
assembly Of the church to finally dis
pose OF the controversy either by the
transfer to the eight original patron
izing conferences Of whatever rights
the church might retain and the in
stitution of further litigation, or by
the abandonment Of the contest The
latter course was decided upon, the
commission finding that as a result
of the decision Of the Tennessee court
it was wholly without power to
transfer anything, either right, title
or interest to the patronizng confer
ences"
80 believing" the commission de-
clared in resolutions adopted, "the
commission Is unwilling to stultify
itself by the execution Of worthless
transfer and Is further unwilling to
authorize the institution Of any fur
ther suits in futile litigation"
But I'm so doing" the resolutions
continue. "the commission desires to
voice final protest against manipu-
lations by which Vanderbilt has been
lost TO the church"
Representatives Of the patronizing
conferences attended todays meeting
and concurred In the action taken by
tho commission.
Bishop Gambler OF Atlanta. Ga.
acted as chairman OF the conference
which adjourned tonight
