C. Harris Satuiday in a lengthy written decision which he handed down. The case was heard in First District court some time ago. in handing down the decision, Judge Harris briefly reviewed the case, giving bis findings on each count. In the summary, the decision says that until such time as tha plaintiffs are able to clearly show in court that the officers of the college are violating some law or abusing discretion given them by law, the case is not within the jurisdiction of the court. The decision says in part: The writer feels that all the evidence in the case established this as a case or merely selling what is incidentally necessary to give the course In question. The the legislature has authorized board of trustees and other officers of the college to determine what courses in agriculture (which I take It Includes the various branches of dairying) are lo be given.
