President-elect Hoover on his goodwill

that this country was planning mill

COLUMBIA, Mo-. April 8.-The full
board of curators Of the University of

lessor of psychology, for his part in the
circulation of sex QUESTIONABLE among
students, and granted reinstatement to
DR.. Max F. Meyer, suspended professor
OF psychology.
pended for one year, beginning today.
De CRAFTS permanent discharge takes
effect today also. The board of nine
members, which deliberated nearly two
days In trial. OF the faculty men,
bers, did not mention G. H. Mowrer
student assistant instructor in psychol-
ogy, who was ordered dismissed by the
executive board Of curators March 20
with DR.. Meyer and DR.. De Graf.
State Stirred by Row.
The three faculty members had sane
toned circulation of a QUESTIONABLE
among 1000 man and woman students
asking them intimate questions regard
ing sex and marriage. The row that
followed stirred the entire State and
even reached the floor of the State
Legislature.
Mowree is permanently custed from
the faculty, as the full board approved
the executive boards action except as 1t
affected DR.. Meyer.
The vote was unanimous. Judge
James E. Goodrich, president of the
board, said the conclusion was reached
as compromise on conflicting views.
The board, which heard testimony by
DR.. Meyer and DR.. De Graf and several
students in a closed hearing, was in seS-
sion for Is hours
A prepared statement issued at the
conclusion of the hearing stated that
DR.. Meyer was to be reinstated because
of his long service to the university
and our conviction that the offense for
which he was suspended will not be
repeated" +
Creates Objectionable Condition.
The full board held with its execu-
tive board that "the promiscuous cir
culation" of the QUESTIONABLE, by
every tenet of sound sense and common
decency, should have been suppressed"
and that the investigation by its very
nature, tends to create the condition
which it is alleged to correct"
Likewise. the board held with its
executive board that it could find mo
justification for an inquiry that from
its very nature could not produce any
scientifically valid conclusions nor any
facts likely to be of substantial value. "
I'm order to protect the university
from a recurrence of similar indiscre-
tons" the boards statement con-
tinued, lit is recommended that the
general faculty establish, by committee
or otherwise, some system providing for
the careful supervision of all investi-
cations affecting students. It is fur
ther ordered that the secretary be in
structed to destroy all answered ques-
tionnaires now sealed and deposited in
the vault of the university"
About 100 answers to the question
naire had been returned by students
when an investigation into their cir
culation was instituted by President
Stratton D. Brooks, who branded the
research as fool idea
The action was final and. 1t is be-
lieved, writes the final chapter in the

DIES MONIES. Iowa, April 8.-With
the gradual removal OF debris from the
ruins of the Kirkwood Hotel, which
was destroyed by fire early Saturday,
firemen expressed belief that the death
toll of six might not be increased.

continued in the slight possibility that
their bodies might be discovered. Heise's
room was in the southwest corner of
the building, where the fire was the
most severe. Longs room was not de-
stroyed by the flames, causing search

capped.
Nearly $50 persons were in the FIVE

COOLIDGE n D v
ENJOYS LIFE
BY h. G. FORBES

Calvin Coolidge has become.
compared with his former serious
ness, almost as lighthearted as a
schoolboy.
He has developed fondness
for play. a new. trait. He has
become distinctly more talkative
his formerly-suppressed sense of
humor. The Calvin Coolidge who
leaves the White House is quite
a different man from the Calvin
Coolidge who entered it five and a
half years ago. His severity of
manner led one elderly visitor to
the White House TO crack a joke
which Mrs. Coolidge tremendously
felished.
All through dinner the President
had said hardly a word and never
approached anything resembling
a smile. His moroseness contin.
ued after the dinner party broke
up into several small groups.
when does formality cease and
informality begin in the White
House?" the elderly visitor, noted
for his wit and his daring. asked
Mrs. Coolidge.
She smiled graciously. "In this
instance, right now"
Il have reached the conclusion,
Mrs. Coolidge. that you have com.
mitted a Burbank marriage"
"A what?"
A Burbank marriage"
I'm afraid / don't know what
y-d mean"
I'm convinced yours was the
union of lemon with a peach"
Good! Good! exclaimed the Lady
of the White House deIightedly:
III keep that and give it to the
President when he needs it"
Mr.. Coolidge has changed so
much that he probably no longer
needs it,
Colonel Lindberghs two latest
achievements have linked him in
directly with the house of Morgan.
The father of his bride-to-be, Am.
baSsador Morrow, made his mark
as a partner of j. P. Morgan &
Co.; and should he not be placed
in public office after he finishes
his complicated task in Mexico,
the probability is that he will re-
turn to the firm. This international
banking house never had a more
democratic partner. His democ.
racy he inculcaNed in his family,
as reflected by the fact that. not
withstanding their wealth, the old
est daughter became a teacher in
their home town, Englewood. N. j.
