from his position as the head Of the
university. You also know that the
men who are fostering this, movement

by mon on the faculty at. the present
time.igs Whether. this attitude OF our
moro or less prominent pedagogues is
from 9; selfish motives we leave to
Your own judgn. ent. One, fact re-.
Kaney rs. good and true q friend as
the students OF this institution have
ever had. is to be ignominfously ex+
polfed. l,.,
Therefore, you are asked as free
born Americans and lovers Of fair
