Columbia Uniyersity's revolution
passed into its second phase yesterday
The "Bolshevki," who on Wednesday
caused an uproarlous demonstration in
favor OF Professor Charles Austin
Beard, who resigned his chair in poll
tics Monday, were silent yesterday, and
among the undergraduate at Morning
side the safe and sound "Menshevik'
dominated the situation.
Dignity and courteous petition are
now, it appears, 10 be the weapons OF
those who regret the resignation OF
Professor Beard, and the rule OF the
university by men whom Professor
Beard described as having "no stand
ing in the world of education, who are
reactionary and vlsionless In politics,
narrow and medieval in religion
As far as the students are concerned,
IL became apparent yesterday that the
dominance Of the meb is over, and
that moderate counsel will prevail at
noon to-day when the undergraduates
hold protest mass meeting in the
gymnasium arranged by 4 committee
OF the class officers.
DR.. Butler Breaks Silence
While the protesting student body
tended toward conservatism and the
members OF the Faculty Committee OF
Nine and the professors Of the Fac

stood, prepared formal reports to be
read at meeting next Tuesday of
the University Council. over which the
president of the university sits, DR.
Nicholas Murray Butler broke his
silence on the free speech issue by
formally acknowledging DR.. Boards
letter Of withdrawal.
The communication was non-commit-
tai on the issue Dr. Beard defined in
withdrawing, but the spirit OF the
Presidents reply was interpreted as
meaning that DR.. Butler regarded Pro-
lessor Boards resignation as final.
Secretary Fackeuthal said that since
DR.. Beard had asked that his resig-
nation take effect Tuesday and since
he quit working, il was fair TO assume
that his relations with the institution
were severed.
The actual technique OF accepting
Dr. Boards resignation is regarded as
unimportant 1T Columbia. His friends
assert that DR.. Beard would not re-
join the teaching staff of Columbia
University unless radical changes in
the power Of the trustees over the fac

reforms he advocated were accom-
