ceded by a campaign in which the stu

any student charged with infractions.
Prof. James Il. Egbert. director of the

waiting 3 spirit of individual RESPONSE
bility for the general walfare of the

placed on their honor. No member OF
the teaching staff shall be present as a
proctor. Students will be required to

DIR. A. Gonzales. assistant Medical Ex-

yesterday of the body or Eugene Michel
Berard, retired lawyer. who was found
dead Friday night in his home at East
Ninetieth street, when firemen arrived
TO subdue a small blaze In an adjoining
apartment, and expressed himself as
satisfied the aged man had died from
natural causes. Funeral services are to
be held tomorrow in st. Patrick's Ca

lyte and almost daily attendant. His
sister, Sister katherine, a Catholic nun
whose order is located in Buffalo, tele-
graphed she would not be able to at
tend
Mr.. Berard's only relatives in this city,
SO far as Joseph A. Boyle, sexton of tn,
Cathedral and a close friend. has been
able to ascertain, are two distant
cousins, Mrs G. f. Chandler of 81 East
Fifty-fourth street. and Joseph r.
Rance of 165 West Fifty-eighth street.
Neither Mrs Chandler nor Mr. Rance
had seen Mr.. Berard in years, and their
relationships were discovered only
through papers found in the effects of
the dead man.
Mr.. Boyle had known Mr. Berard for
the eight years he had been attending
the Cathedral, and from conversation
with him learned he had suffered a set
back years ago which had changed the
whole course of his life. This had to do
with real estate in Kentucky, his native
State. which had been held by the Be-
rard family for years and which finally
was lost through activities of sduatters.
The case was fought through Kentucky
courts and to the United States Supreme
Court. where the family finally lost title.
Mr. Berard was SO embittered by this
legal experience he is reported to have
torn UP his law diploma and to have
decided on the life of religious recluse.
