issues between the university anti and its ils' ils withdrawing withdrawing- faculty members is that of control The question was in the beginning and It has so 50 remained throughout the struggle whether the regents a. a as the agents of the people of the state should control the Institution or should permit the faculty to control it JL That was the bone hone of contention between President Kingsbury and the two instructors who sho were vere challenging his authority and it continued tho the central il issue when hen other professors and instructors resigned The charges charles of oC oppression suppression suppression sion and opportunism were added as asan asan asan an af afterthought when the tho controversy y assumed serious proportions They were baseless s as the failure of ot their sponsors to support them with facts has repeatedly proved They were In Injected Injected injected In- In to becloud the main contention although the effort proved abortive because of ot the

of its ts policies and Us Its methods to salaried Instructors who are recruited here and there is about the last act of which the taxpayers taxpayers tax tax- payers would be guilty They have e fixed
