stake Professor Howe failed as a
preacher some years ago. He resigned as
president of Butler College because he
was only getting $1,000 a year and the
athletic director was getting something
like 81 800. He thought the trustees

has been out OF a JOB, dependent on his

Part Of the old crowd of special priv
