DIR. Hale submitted the resig-
nation to be effective July 81,
1857.
He said his proposal to appoint
a Negro to assist him as minister
to students had brought "resig-
nation threats" and harsh
words.
The Standing Committee, how
ever. backed the appointment
proposal by a vote of 1913.
DR.. Hale said that after the
strong" opposition developed,
he went to his summer home at
Freedom, Me-, to mediate and
eventually reached a twofold de-
cision, to submit his resignation
and not to appoint the Negro.
THAT ! misjudged my people, y
he said, "haS become too obvi-
Gus to ignore"
