I wish, however, to say in the 0 that all of my effort:, have been to al? lay excitement upon this question. It ls my belief that thc public discussion of lt ha* been uncalled for and Injurious, and 1 have no feeling of sympathy with, or approval of. your course In .irag^lm, before the public your impressions ol a meeting that was held with closed doora. Cven though your Interpretation of ita methods were true and Just to th.- fullest extent they should, lu my Judgment, be kept withlii those praclnts. I wish lt also to be understood that the official publication of the facts 1 nave waa warranted by. and in obedience to, the call of a number of trustees who thought it be-t to correct the Impression Whick bad kohl- abroad lhat the action taken by the trustees was not properly guarded and their election of Mi Hoal wright was hy a very small majority. Kvery statement I made is ol record, and has been atlirmed by the board, except such bb j>ertain to th?- late meeting. ? ha minnies of this meeting have not yet been verified and accepted by the board because lt hus sot met again, but tb. \ have the approval and endorsement of Ihe presiding ollb er, I>r.
