difficulties that appear upon the sur

the Board of Administration. Whila
these differences of opinion and per-

that will make for unity and the

it is distinctly understood and agreed
tina no member of the faculty shall
suffer adverse discrimination because
of any position taken in the past to-
ward the administration of the pres

is definitely committed on his part,
and we assume that there shall be

thereto.
This mean that every member Of
the faculty Is free to feel safe in his
position except for sufficient cause
that may arise subsequent to this
date.
After this prolonged and thorough
investigation and after having re-
ceived these assurances from the
president and deans representing the
faculty 1t Is our unanimous decision
that the interests Of the university
will be best served by wiping the
slate clean of all past differences,

and by committing ourselves in a new
