Statement of the Board.
Today the board of directors authorised
the following; statement:
To the People of Texas.
College Station Texas February 14.
The board of director of the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college of Texas
has refrained from giving' out any tate-
ment In regard to the condition existing;
at the Agricultural and Mechanical col-
leg until they had an opportunity to
make a full and fair Investigation. They
present thl ststement for tfce Informa-
tion and benefit of the public.
About ten days ago certsln rumors of
abuses and Irregulnrltles existing at the
college wa brought to the attention of
certain members of the board These ru-
mors were communicated t) the president
of the board who promptly called the
meeting by wire. The board convened at
the college on Thursday the 6th Instant-
No formal charges were presented atfalnst
anyone but a petition aigned oy most
of the student In tne upper classes was
presented. askina for the removal of the
president. No reason for tne request was
assigned In the petition. The rumors
which had been circulated by certain
Individuals were carefully impartially
and fully Investigated. Finding the ru-
mors and" current gossip to be entirely
without foundation the following resolu-
tion wss passed:
"Be it resolved by the board of director
of the Agricultural and Mechanical col-
lege. That we express In heartiest term
our unqualified faith In the Integrity
ability and absolute fairness of President
H. H. Harrington In the administration
of the affairs of the college; snd we fur-
ther declare that in his efforts toward
keeping the colege at its present high
degree of usefulness and building It up
to even a.hlglier degree of exi-ollence wo
will give him our unanimous Indorsement
and support (Signed) K. K. Legett T.
D. Rowel John M Green W. P. Sebas-
tian Walton Peteet L. L. Mclnnis A.
Haldusek and R. T. Mllner."
In order that the board might not be
confronted with similar conditions In the
future they also passed the following
resolution and ordered that a copy be
sent to each member of the faculty and
to other officer of the Institution:
"Complaints against the management
of the administration of the Agricultural
and Mechanical college as conducted oy
the president and heads of departments
must In the future be submitted In writing
with a statement of facts to tne president
of the board. Any other mode of mail-
ing charges will be considered by tlie
board a distasteful and detrimental to
the beat Interest of the Institution."
The board tlien adjourned under the
tmpreaston that the breach of harmony
had been bridged and tnst the work of
the Institution would continue uninter-
rupted for the remainder of the session.
Following the departure of the board on
Friday the 7th Instant the classes on
Saturday the 8th Instant refused to at-
tend their recitations. The board then
reconvened by the request of the presi-
dent of the college and on arrival found
a well organize. 1 strike exlatlng In til
student body. The organization had been
eo perfected and so skillfully managed
by some controll'ng Influence that the
faculty was powerless and the member
of the board In their Individual capacity
were unable to break the firm deter-
mined stand of the student In their con-
spiracy agalmtt discipline and the con-
tinuance of college duties. The demand
was msde that either the president must
resign or the boys would go home and
the shsrp. clear-out Issue was drawn as
to whether we. as the highest governing
body cf the Institution should control It
or the students There ought to be and
could be but one answer to thl question.
The board met delegation after delega-
tion of thi senior class giving them every
assurance that their complaint would b
carefully and patiently heard but war
unable to get them to give any (uffldent
reason for their demand that the presi-
dent be removed. The board than ordered
the faculty to be assembled and presented
to them the Mowing resolution!
'To the Faculty of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College.

"Pending the receipt and hearing to any

"K. K. Legett
"President Board of Directors."
In response to ths foregoing communi-
cation a committee of the senior claaa
of which T. J. Beesley waa chairman
waited upon tha Tsoard and advised them
that tha senior elate would resume their
studies tomorrow morning and would us
their bast endeavors to make tha other
classes do the same sine which time
the senior class has attended regular du-
ties and haa not therefore been subject
to the order of suspension.
Ths succeeding morning th faculty
was then called together by lbs president
of the college and th following resolu-
tion was passed:
That In view of the failure of the ma-
jority of tha (tudenta to return to classes
thlr morning ths student body be noti-
fied that any unezcussd student who fall
to report for the next regular duty after
1 - m. today la thereby Indefinitely ua-
pepded In accordance with section S
article 1 chapter 2 rules and regulations.
(' for the following offenses a student
shall be subject to dismissal. Being
active In promoting any combination to
Interrupt th saerclsea or to resist th
authorities.' ) Immediately following thl
resolution th ar.lor class finally sub-
mitted the following ch rages against irb
president of tha college and tha senior
class resumed work pending th Investi-
gation of their charge
To the Members of the Board of Di-
rectors of tne A. and M. College.
At the request of the oommltte from
the senior class 1 present th following
statement'.
I charge that V waa -dismissed from
ths A. aad M. college In an irregular
manner at tha raqueat of President Har-
rington. That the secretary waa sent out
of4.be room when the board took actloni
that no minute was made of tbl action;
that no ona communicated thl Informa-
tion to me until about seven week after
the action wa taken (on August t) and
that thl delay waa entirely Inexcusable.
I further charge that the above ac-
tion waa taken In face of the (act that
there were abundant results to show that
my work waa very auoceeaful among tha
student body; and. also. In face of the
fact that 1 wa not only doing the work
for which the college had employed me.
but I wa also doing without additional
coat either to th college or to tb stu-
dent body the work of general secretary
of the Young Men' Chrtatian Association
for which eervlce other co. leges are pay-
Inr from tlUOO to $100 per annum.
I further charge that President Har-
rington was guilty of gross duplicity at
the board meeting of March lauu at the
Fort Worth session In regard to hie ac-
tion In the pipe organ matter. Respeot-
fully submitted. Nathan Powell.

Charges against President Harrington:
Without authority from tha board of
directors President Harrington Interfered
with my duties aa a professor by Induc-
ing the health officer to establish over
my house a "smallpox quarantine" for a
simple case of whooping cough.
Witnout authority from the faculty
he Interfered with my eon' duites as a
cadet by similarly confining him to th
premUei.
In violation of the same rights he
demanded tha removal of my eoua chil-
dren from tb campus though they were
carefully kept from contact with the case
ol whooping cough.
And all this not through any regard
for the Interests and welfare of the col-
lege as was proved by his refusal to lay
a similar quarantine when the came dis-
ease from another sourc appeared fn
several families. C. W. Hutson.
I can state from my own knowledge
that Dr. H. H. Harrington had hi laun-
dry don regularly at tha college laundry
from th tuna I came to take charge of
the plant (January 11 1907 until Novem-
ber 1H07. At this time he quit (ending
laundry. About tour week agu he came
tc tha foreman of the laundry and asked
him to make out a bill of all hi back
launlry which the laundrymau could
not do.
Whether the bill haa ever been paid
or not 1 do not know. It did oot go
through my office A. J. Neff.

Tbe three lower classes never resumed
their duties after going out on Saturday.
The president of the college haa been
authorised to adjust and pay any balance
that may be due any student for main-
tenance lor the session of 1J0S-7.
The board have found that the college
at the beginning of thl outbreak was
never In better condition. Within the laat
two years the attendance has Increased
40 per cent The material improvements
which have been made have greatly facili-
tated the work and efficiency of the In-
stitution. Tha service of the college to
ti.e people of the State are greater than

fulness haa steadily and rapidly Increaaed.
Its popularity In the State and a recog-
nition of It value by the people of the
State I far greater than at any previous
time In It history. Th board found in
short that the work of the college was-
progressing In a moat satis. actorlly man-
ner and tbat there was absolutely no rea-
son why It should be Interfered with or
checked.

SAN ANTONIO Texaa. February U
Bishop J. S. Johnston bead of the Prot-
estant Eplsopal church In West Texaa
and president of the West Texas Military
academy In this city today addressed a
letter to Governor Campbell In which h
severely took to task the student body
of the Agricultural and Mechanical col-
lege. In part he say: "Should the Stat tu-
thorltles back down In the face of tha
tmpervloua dictates of these misguided
stripling doubtlessly dominated by soma
leading spirit of disorder to raise the
flag of rebellion against thl Stat would
oe to endanger the very existence of th
splendid educational system of this com-
monwealth. Every president of every In-
stitution of learning beginning with th
university and descending to the smallest
academy or rroea roads school would
4iencef( rth feel that he held hi position
not under authority but at th whim of
the student body."
