Show VINDICATED. Professor Metcnlf is Vindicated by it Committee Com-mittee investigating Him. Some weeks since charges of a serious nature were preferred against Prof. F. W. Metcalf, principal of the deaf mute department of the university. These charges have been thoroughly investigated investi-gated by the advisory committee of the board of regents, and they report, "That we find the charges are wholly unsustained, and, iu fact, groundless." They approve of the management, discipline dis-cipline and instruction of tho department depart-ment under Prof. Metcalf. Tho following paragraph from the report shows the animus of the charges made: It sufficiently appears that since the change of principal by a former board, tho late principal has in mauy ways manifested hostility to Prof. Metcalf and has been industrious in fomenting and circulating complaints and exciting dissatisfaction amoug the pupils aud friends. The complaints against Prof. Metcalf are either based on hearsay without any investigation as to their truth, or are such gross exaggerations of trivial circumstances as to be essentially essen-tially false." The report is signed by John W. Don-nellan Don-nellan and J. A. Marshall. |
