Senior classes, Normal and English,
are beginning to line up for the clos.

Friday night were most interesting,
although number of the city stu

competitors. The president has made
a new ruling respecting socials among
the students. Social privileges will
hereafter be based upon general de
pertinent and class standing. No

PRESIDENT DENIES
CHARGE REVIVED IN
BOOK JUST PRINTED

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE White
House today made public letter from
President Wilson denying that he de-
manded the resignation Of William
Jennings Bryan, as secretary Of state.
because Bryan told Ambassador Dunn
ba of Austria Hungary, that Americas
first Lusitania note was bluff. This
old charge is revived in book. ac-
cording to the presidents letter to
Bryan.
You may quote me as saying that
did not ask for your resignation or de-.
sire it, as any one can learn from my
vote accepting your resignation" said
the presidents letter dated today. "And
this statement ought ALSO to be suffi-
cient answer to the criticism of you
based upon the Dumba interview, for
l could not make it If thought you re-
sponsible for the misinterpretation
placed on that interview in Berlin. But
knowing at the time all the facts, !
did not give the matter serious thought
and might add in justice to you, that
as you promptly corrected the misin-
depreciation, when within few days 1t
was brought to your attention, 1t could
not have affected the diplomatic sit
uation."
