AMHERST HEAD
REFUSES TO RESIGN
MAY GO TO COURT

Amherst, Mass, June 1S.-While Of
1clal statements were lacking it was
learned from unofficial but author
ltatlve sources late tonight that Pres
ldent Alexander Meiklejohn will be
asked at the trustees meeting tomor-
row to resign. but will refuse. In
TINS case being a professor he can
take his case to the Supreme Court.
PRESIDENT Meikljohn was in confer
cnce until almost midnight with the
trustees and at the close of this the
second conference of the day, Off
Gals statements We're refused. The
night conference started at Q O'Clock.
Close friends of President Meikle-
john said tonight that he would re-
fuse to resign as he had two years
| ago when he was faced with a request
to resign. In the event that he
should refuse to bow to the wishes
or the trustees the situation will be
greatly complicated because it has
been found more difficult to remove
| professor than a president. The
president holds the chair of ethics
and is entitled to take his case to
| the Supreme Court of Massachu-
sets. which his friends are confident
! will be his course in the event he is
discharged.
The desire Of the board is not to re-
move DIR. Meilllejohn on the issue of
liberalism. each member of the board
said today. but the real issue is in
ternal administration. His removal
| is necessary. they say, to produce
| harmony among the remainder of the
| college organization. Trustees hav,
devoted the entire day to discover
some way in which they can declare
his office vacant without attendant
unpleasant circumstances. Late to-
night DR.. Meiklejohn left the con-
| ference but refused to say a word
The trustees were still comforting a,
midnight.
! If DR.. Meiklcjohn would be agree
able to serving as professor and al
low some one to bold down the pres
ident's chair all would be peace, it is

Washington last night and will join

Il am glad of the opportunity to go

lace said in a statement issued to-
day at the Department. First. I am
very anxious to study on the ground
the important work the Department
of Agriculture is doing there. Second,
] am especially keen to meet any who
think that the work Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture is throttling
Alaska or retarding her proper de-
velopment. l want to find out tall
about the bureaucratic red tape OF
which we have heard so much. II
there is anywhere in Alaska, or this

the Department Of Agriculture or OF
any bureau of that department is do

having defended the colonies against
the French, it was only fair that the
colonies should bear heir just part

"If anybody denied that an inter-

decided against US in the beginning,
can anybody doubt that such a tri-
bunal, or any form of peace league,
must and would have held up to be

British advances in 117S:" Mr.. Eev-
