A FULL INQUIRY DEMANDED. The Accused Makes a General De- nial and Gives His Ideas of a Proper and Practical Unie versity Administration, Manatt's Answer in Fall. The following is the reply m full of Chan- cellor Manatt to the charges against him preferred by the Alumni association of the state university: And now comes the said H\-lmmlvnt. the chancellor of the university, and for answer to the said so-called charges of the said com- mittee of the said so-called Alumni associa tion, denies each and every allegation, state- ment and averment as the same are therein stated, alleged and averre The said respondent waives objection to the competency as complainants of said com- mittee of said so-called Alumni association, because of his earnest desire to flnd some- body who will venture to umk.-tl.mm.-lwn responsible even with but a ljttle personal knowledge for the anonymous nlun‘ltls that haye so long filled the air. He would have preferred more responsible complainants; the faculty, for instance, who being challenged to prefer charges, after de- bating for hours a simple resolution of want of confidence, unanimously on a call for and nays, or with two dissenting voices at most, tabled that motion, thus refusing to do responsibly what most of them were willing 10 do 1rresponsibly. A e afternoon of commencs prose- cution or persecution was turned over to the Alumni association; present, twenty gradu- ates out of total of 165, Thirough this body meeting in the room of the professor of his- tory, called together by his brother-in-law, and manipulated by his uext friend, was pushed by great pressure the reso- ution which is the imnlediate occasion of this meeting. reso- lution makes no charge. It simply advises this board to secure a chancellor who can harmonize with the faculty, meaning by that an anti administration faction in the faculty and the students. This is the action of one-eighth of the alumni, as potent and pertinent if three-fourths of one member of this board should pass a resolution to im- peach the governor. Siuce commencement iblo pressure has been used to whip independent members of the facully on the plea that an investigation would in- jure the un nan's character having been traduced and bluckened, the word has been, “Let us now uniteand ¢rush him before he'can speak for hi 117 But the pressure has only served to open fair men's eyes to the meanness and malignity of the persecution, and the faculty have utterly failed to agree upon, formulate or become re- sponsible for a single charge. Hence it is that in his earnest desire for a thorough sift- ing of current slander tho respondent waives objection on the ground that the so-called complainants represent less than one-eighth of the alumni aud appear to have no author- ity even from them to bring any charges. And now for sp wer: Charges one, two and three, question of general university administration, and pre- senting the r issue in this case—all the rest being simply a fhrowing of dust in the eyes to obscure that issuc—those charges will be answered last and fully. To charge 4 he enters an explicit denial. To charge 5, so far as specific and admit- ting of answer, answer is faade (page 12) in the answer to charge 1, 2 and 3. To charge 6 it would seem impossible for any but the Omniscient to make answer, as 1t would certainly require more than human knowledge to assert it. To know one man’s conduct toward eight or nine hundred indi- viduals, and its subjective effect upon those mdividuals, 8o as to assert or deny anything in the premises, goes beyond the wisdom of this respondent. He, however, will state what he does know, viz: That he has always (except as the present war upon him may have disturbed him) had a heart full of kind- ness and solicitude for the students of the university: has been ever ready to serve any one of them, and especially such ns were striving under disadvantages and bearing burdens in pursuing their education; has uniformly done all in his power to secure places in the world for them as they went out from us, and that in gen- eral he has been patient, considerate, appreciative, and to the full oxtent of his means helpful to them. Until the last year (when circumstances he could not very well control prevented) it was his habit to re- ceive and entertain at his house once or of- tener every year every student of the insti- tution, In this way a very considerable por- tion of his salary was expended for nearly four years. The students to whom he has ever spoken an unkind word, even in ad- ministering necessary reproof. he believes could scarcely exceed a dozen, (the com- plainants have only fancied they found one), ‘while the students to whom he has freely and heartily rendered favors, us a father to a child, would certaiuly number many times as many. As to students’ hostility to his admin- istration, the respondent admits that doubt- less many students are unfriendly at this time, and he is able in PM’I to explain the reason. It is because of deliberate and 8y tematic misrepresentation to them of his acts ana utterances and purposes, To charge 7_he can hardly be expected to make answer but he has no knowledge of any such fact and believes the statement to be untrue. That he has more thun once ad- vised students agsinst overwork and in that counection to take a year out in order to earn means for con- tinuing their studies under less pressure and with less danger to their health and the quality of their education, is of course true; that he ever did this sarcastically is in its very nature false and preposterous. "T'o charge 8, again, it is difficult to make any answer., "Phe respondent is conscious of a tendency to ironical expression 1 the sense in which the term irony is used in classical literature; and like other men may be be- trayed into its use; that this is habitual he does not believe, That it is kept in conscious and strong restraint in all his intercourse with students be knows. With grown up men he may occasionally venture a remark i t to be taken quite literally, we 9 denial as far as the charge is stood, with the remark that the re- spondent has been ‘subject at the hands of certain professors to such bitter and persist- ent rovocation that nothing he could do as regards them could well be considered unpro- voked. Returning now to the real charges (1, 2 and 8) which involve a erave public question far transcending any personal interest, the respondent meets those charges with a full statement of the facts and their bearing on the integrity, if not the life of the institution. To introduce this statement of facts he uotes certuin utterances made by two pro- lessors actively engaged in the present war upon the chancellor, The first 15 in a_letter dated Lincoln, Nove ber 20, 1882, and is as follows: “You know the idea of a chancellor that pre- vails here: some one to kick at, who shall be responsible for everything, though power- less to shape a poliey or inaugurate change; agood disposition, long-suffering chancellor seems alone to be wanting.” And again under date of October 13, 1883, the same writer says: *“There are drawbacks various and some even serious, to any man's making the post of chancellor a success here.” And another member of the faculty, who has done what he could to break down the present administration, has within three weeks past declared, in substance: “I would not accept the chuncellorship if offered to me; the office is a bauble and beset with such inherent difficulties and dangers as to ren- der failure almost certain.” These two de- clarations, both emanating from the opno« sition, fairly present the issue: Can an it tution be inistered by a head respol for lvert‘lhlllky ‘while powerless for .nythmfl do the People of this state, dulro that the ‘chancellor of the university snall forever be some one to kick at; that his oftige shall forever be beset with such in- herent difficultics and dangers as to render failure almost certaint This must be the fact as long as two or_three men in the fac- ulty, without responsibility, have it in their power by intrigue practically w run the in- stitution. The only remedy s in a facult; limited. to. its proper functions and a hea with som adequate to his responsibility. 1 must confess an error of my bave yet charge. 1 'am myself to blame fora first | step .of concession, ~ which. has been responded -+ 1o by . & persist- ent policy of encroachment and usurpation. Coming to this service witbout any ‘adminis- trative experience, and finding a faculty for the moment apparently harmonious, I deter- mined s far as possible_ to make them m council, and particularly to cousult them re- arding all nominations to bé made by the foard.” Whenever a place was to be fllled the faculty proper (cousisting then only of full professors) was called in consulta that was the word always used. These con- sultations were free and informal: r.uur‘ and persons were frankly canvassed, and finally an agreement was reached. The can- didate thus elected was presented by me to the board, with, however, the names, creden- tlals, and persons (when possible) of oppos- ing candidates, This worked very well, and led to satisfactory appoiutments, But presently one man began to attack the consultation as a caucus system, and kept up this agitation until the privilege of consulta. tion, purely a matter of discretion and cour- sy on the part of the chavcellor, as forced on to the footing of a regular faculty meeting open to candidates for re- appointment as well us to the nominating body, und its procecdings made matter of record, It will appear at once that the prospect of fr nd unbiased ce was lessencd and that the privilege ¢ was moving toward the status of a right by assumption. ext step in this progress was the framiug of a code rigidly fixing the pro- cedure in nominations, gnd leaving the chancellor no initiative except as ex-ofticio membet of a nominating committee, In justice to the author of this code it should be said that his intention was far dif- ferent from the actual effect. The occasion of hus proposals reminded me within the s an_abuse s privilego the forcing through of an important nomination without giving time or opportunity for due inguiry. Regarding this a8 a scandal he drafted these regulations with a singl w to securing fuller inquiry and more deliberate action on the part of the faculty. And finally code (in the renomination of the ve whose original nomination gave oc drafting the code), it was so interpreted as to dispense with the committee and so to de- prive the chancellor of any initiative at all. Such have been the steps which have at last utterly destroyed the chancellor's freedom of action as the ‘advisor of this board in one line of his essential and fundamental duty. rs ago you were 1n the havit of ing him to select and nominate pro- and instructors. In your record for 1884, (Vol. 2, ppze 15) appears the : “Iesolved, Uhat Chancellor Man- att be instructed to m'lml persons to fill chairs now vacant and to becowe vacant, to report at our next meeting and to present recommendations and enaorsements that he e able to obtain, that the board may be e to act in said matters. “Resolved, The chancellor be further in- structed to make such arrangements a8 may be necessary for perfecting the organization of the latin school.” Under the first resolution the chancellor was authorized to select and nominate three full professors; under the second a principal. And no man, so far as I have ever icarned, dreamed of finding . fault with your action. But four years later, namely in "March last, you pussed a similar resolution referring to a single place, vi That the chancellor be authorized to A‘urrc!numl in reference to a suitable candidate for the teacher of philoso- phy, and to make recommendations to the board in reference to this position. You do not need to be told what a storm of fury this brought down upon his devoted head. Azain and again he was badgered as tended to do under that authori and again he was attacked for allowing the board to pass that resolution, and finally he was obliged to say that he had heard and said the last word on the subject and (on the continuance of this bullying) to leave the chair and the facult This was the occasion that had been seized upon to iliustrate chancellor's quarrels with the faculty, an occasion when he was attacked for an action of this board, and that an action simply authorizing him to do what any other man in his position would be ex- pected to do as a matter of course. This usurpation has gone so far as to utterly destroy his freedom of action. Bound by the very nature of his office as understood everywhere, to give you his unbiased, inde- pendent judgmentand advice, he can only do it at his peril, The faculty have usurped the right of nomination, crowding the chancellor out of the uniform prerogative of his office; and they have left to the board the poor priv- ilege of saying yes or no to the single candi- date they present. Consider now. what usage is in the mstitu- tions to which we look for example. Pend- ing the discussions of the faculty’s nomina- scheme, in April, 1857, I addressed sov- terrogations to the foremost American colleges and state universitics, the first one Dbeing as follows: Appointments to ‘faculty: What is the agency of the faculty, the president, and the board, respectively, in the selection of professors and instructors, The replies from every institution ad- drossed, with the exception of two, are on your table. The letters from Johns Hop- kins and Wisconsin universities I have not been able to recover, but of the former I have the substance in 8 memorandum made at the time, and the latter (as Lam quite sure) was of the' sume tenor with those of the other state universities. With this explana- tion, and reminding you that all these letters have been on file in my office since May, 1887, instead of being obtained for any pres- ent purpose, I proceed to quote the exact words of the writqge, except in the one case mentioned. 1. Yale (from Prof. T. D. Seymour): I suppose that the president has the veto power here on all action of the faculty. Iam confident that if the faculty ~should make a nomination of which Presi- dent Dwight disapproved (which they would not do) he would wot use the power which I understand him to have but would report the nomination to the cox| tion, ing his own objections to it, the traditions are so strong here that I can hardly imagine the faculty as making a nomi- nation to which the president or a consider- able minority objected. All appointments during the last seven years have been unani- mous; a small minority would withdraw its objections, or a majo would withdraw the nomination because of a considerable minority. It was this Vale pructice, then only imperfectly understood by meé, which T aimed to introduce here, without duly con- sidering the immense difference between a homogeneous and conservative faculty (the evolution of centuries) and the heterogencous body which a new institution in a new coun- Jtry almost necessarily gathers. It will be noticed further on that when a Yale pr fessor comes to the head of a western unive sity he leaves the Yale plan at home, 2. Harvard (from Prof. John Williams White): Our faculty do not nominate candidates to the corvoration. Thepresident does that, and very frequently proceeds inde- pendently even of members of the depart- ment concerne He never cousults the fucalty usa whole. This practically puts the whole power into his hands, which some of my colleagues regard ascandal. I myself, who believe thoroughly in the centralization of power, think we are better off thun we should be if the faculty had a finger in the professional pie. The president nominates his man to_the corporation. His nomina- tions hardly ever fail of their approval. They then elect. This election is untimately agreed to, or disagreed to, by the overseers who have no power of initiative. 8. Johns Hopkias university (from Prof. John H. Wright. Letter mislaid but abstract made a year ago from original): Election by trustees on nomination of their executive committee. The president brings the matter before the executive committee and virtuaily does the nominating. 4. Cornell (from President Charles K. Adams): The faculty do not nominate to q_roh)lmnhl[- or assistant professorships. he president does not act with the Incully 8s a body, but consults such members of the faculty at his own pleasure as may be likely to give him information concerning the most worthy candidate for the place to be filled. I think that no man has ever been appointed by the trustees without the approval of the ident, and I am not aware that the presi- lent bas ever nominated anybody that has not been appointed. 5. Ohio (from President W. H. Scott) : The board of trustees -usually appoints a eom- wmittee, of which the president of the uni- versity is a member, to gather information and lay it with these recornmendations before the board. In fact, the president conducts the correspondence, the committee accepits his recommendation, and the board uccepts ‘that of the committee.

ButIhave never had & nomi- unmm rejected. Towa (from Prof L. F.

Of course they may and_often do_confer with members of the faculties, and the advice of the professional faculties is generally fol- lowed, but the board alone actually make all appointmients, 10.

T @ sense any one can nomiuate, If a faculty should unite” in & nomination it would undoubtedly have great weight with the board. My own judgment in the matter is that it might lead to scheming and cons quent dissensions in the faculty, but I may be mistaken in this. 1 need make no comment on this corre- spondence. It simply shows that the stem that has grown up here through assumption on the one hand and suffer- ance on the other is extraordinary, without precedent or i 0 of our great colleges or the other state uni- versit Ouly undera ‘long suffering chan- cellor’ could it have existed here, Hut the chaucellor ceases from this day forth to be ‘long suffering.’ Here and now for himself successors, he resumes aud as- natural and _customary right of the executive oftice, which he has hitherto waived, and particularly the right of free and untrammeled action in his relations with the board. Here and now, for himself and his successors, he repudiates every obliga- with such rights, med for facts concer . th 0 fix upon him. himself and his successors, Lelonging to his office, e: determined by the positive or of this board, all powers, rights a duties of that office according to the cus- tomary law and practice of the other state universities pt as otherwise determined by posi- tive law. By the law of the state (compiled statutes, ed. 1887, chap. $7, The regents shall have power to enact laws for the wov- ernment of the university; to electa chancel- lor and the prescribed number of professors and tutors, and a steward; to _prescribe the duties of all the professors and ofticers, and to fix the compensation. They shall have power to remove the ehancellor and any pro- fessor or tutor, whenp the mluluslfi of the university shall require it. The only statutory limitation on these general powers of the board is this (chap. 57, 11): The immediatd government of each college shall be by its own faculty, ete. The government of a colloge, however, is not the administration of a university of college. This statute does not constitute any faculty a close corporation WIth power to perpetuate iself and run the university. power to enact laws for the univer to pres e the duties ‘of 1ts oftices, \murd has to say, What aro the fuhetions of facultios, 3 What are the povers, rights and duties of the executive, 8. What powers arg reserved by the board. And in considering, the first question I think you will now see the wisdom of keep- ing the faculty llh‘ml.gtgly ‘out of politics. They may be fully employed in their proper work, viz: (1) the deVelopment of the cur- riculum, (2) insuruction, (3) research. The function of government, as intended by the statute, I understood to be the manage- ment of students and the maintenance of order; the board can not and should not take this function from the faculty, but they should enact laws to regulate it. All experi- ence shows that prompt action is of the es- S6n00 /01 B00A oulloge Rbvhrnments, . WiHe body meeting infrequently, is capable of prompt action ; summary power, checked by right of appeal, must be lodged somewhere. Arnold went to Rugby only on condition that he should have absolute Jpower to ‘get rid of unpromising subjects.” This past year we have all known that there was one stu- dent in this university whose very presence was a menace to order and a source of cor- ruption. I have been besought to have him removed to save the good name of his class; he was known to have urged sedition as long ago as last winter. Bound (as we seem to be), to act only on positive evidence and as a boc nothing could be done; and that man remained to work corruption and stir up se- dition, with results in part known to you, and to receive a commission and a diploma on the commencement platform. On such a man Arnold would have laid his hand quictly and said ‘*‘go,”” and that would have been the end of it. Here such abso- lutismn is impracticable, but this board may well consider whether the government of the university would not be more effectively administered by the faculty through a uni- versity court or council to be composed (say) of the chancellor, the deans and the princi: pal. Such a council, which would now num- ber four persons and ultimately six, counld meet at any hour and could quickly and promptly purge out immorality, coiraption and insubordination. But the main desideratum is to keep the faculty ‘out of politics.” Under the ‘‘close corporation” theory, which they have gone far to establish as a fact, together with the self assumed right of managing the institu- tion, the control of the faculty is a prize to be striven for, and one that can be secured only by strengthening *‘our party.” 1 assert as my firm belief (and stand ready to sup- port that belief by facts) that no man to-day can securo a nomination by the fac- ulty who is not kno or depended upon to stand with a facti s administration, Two or three me dictate the decisions of the political caucus, two or three men now control the nomina- tions of the faculty, Leaving the powers of the faculty to be what these men ch have them,we have in the university rulo without responsibility, or the ‘“boss regime.” The is definitely to relieve the faoulty of the burden of uni sity administration and to abolish the last feature of *close corporationism.” A wise executive, a wise goveruing board, will con- sult the proper advisers in or out of the fac- ulty. Phey will never admit an obligation to be controlied in action by them, As to the powers™and_duties of the execu- tive, I wish to be understood as speaking for the office and for my successors in it rather than for myself—on purely publie, not personal grounds. This board can do no less than to determine what is the customary law and practice, and piace their executive (so far as the, discretion) on the usual and ordinar; . As you lay upon him large responsibility (and the out- side public even lnrxur),{inu must grant him corresponding power, and that in so positive and definite terms that no man can aoubt or dispute the fact. Bhe executive should only be responsible to the board itself; the petty discontents of students and mstructors, in- stead of being enasuragod o work them- sclves out in intrigne and sedition, should be admonished that this board alone makes and unmakes chancellors, professors and tutors alike. 8. As to the reserved powers of the board, they should be large and exclusive. The theory that the regents ought to be respon- sible o the faculty, the appointing power to the apy rolnwe, has been broached by at least one of the faculty, and another has said openly: *We must grasp power from the board. One of the present chancellor's ‘dangers’ has lain in the frequent necessity of reminding the faculty that they were overriding some positive law of . the board or takin the board’s business out of its hands. And the encroachments of the faculty, 1 repeat, are almed not only at the executive office, but at the regency, In fact the board is the source and fountain head of all our powers, and neither executivenor faculty can with lulety be encouruged to forget that fact, So In conelusion { demand a full inguiry. been able to precipitate i _defi- From this time forth he assumes, far as I nna -uvamo-;"; the no«,mno;n‘u:hn fill the are fundamen y or 80 Iamd 8510 have all ths efect of 3 hood.

He Believes Great Generals Would Arise If There Were Another War, k'ill(‘illnnti('umml*rx‘ml(r zette: “'Gen- eral Sherman,” asked Captain Mattox, “do you think if there was another war that as good material would offer itself as in the last war—material like Grant, homas and others?” Vhy, certainly,” replied the ge eral, *‘there are as many good men in the army now as there were when the war broke out, and they’ll make as good generals, too, What they want is the opportunity. That. is what makes men great. Why, in *61, out of 2,000 officers of the army, there wasn’t one who could put his hand on Grant’s shoulder and Here’s the greatest general of the war.” They didn’t know then. It takes the opportunity to bring them out. There is the making of as great generals now in the army as there was then. There always will be men who will come to the front in timesof great emergency and there always was. “The next war,” said General Sher- man later, in answer to a question from Captain W. G. & mith, “will ‘be a terri- ble slaughter. Men won’t be able to come together and fight. These ma- chine guns are terrible things, and with them war will be as bloody as a big slaughter house. War won’t be fought over again as it was in '64-65 and in '70 ncross the water. Those were hand-to-hand engagement almost. Men fought close to one another and physical strength and prowess counted for a good deal, but in the next war all that will be changed. Then it will be a slaughter with these terrible machines that fire thousands of bullets in & minute or so.” “General,” asked an inquisitive young man, “do you think that the strong, ro- bust’ young fellows from the country made better soldiers than the young men from the ut\' il “The late war,” replied the General. ‘‘demonstrated the fact that the boys from the city could stand more fatigue, and hardship, and marching than the country boys. The boys from the country were stronger always, but they were used to a regular life, and when they go into the army the irregularity of the life, its hardship and exposure, weakened and finally killed many o swou? young farmer boy, while the Dboys from the big cities, being used to irregular hours, irregular living and unmethodical ways of Lfe could stand any amount of hardship without gumg under. This was proved by the wa saw it proved in many cases my: ‘H. Young city chaps were tougher in every way. They weren't so strong physi as the country boys, but then the stand the irregularity of army life bet- ter. ““If there’s ever a war in this country again I think the greatest army will be made up of the railway men. ~In ths first place, they are strong physically. In the second place, they have learned obedience and have learned to obey all orders without questioning them. This wasn’t 80 in the late war, for then men had to be taught ulu.dmnce, and their lesson was a bitter one sometimes. But as I was saying, the railroad men will make a grand army. They above all other things are inured to a life of irregularity. They are used to fa- tigue and the hardships of long hours of work without rest. This irregularity of life, which all railroad men know is a fact, more than anything else will make them the best soldiers in the world. but I hope they will never be called upon to shoulder a gun. -~ For Ocean Voyagers. Ocean: Take your passage ticket, you may be asked for it before you go ashore. Take a square meal before embarking; sea-sickness on an empty stomach is not an enjoyable affair. Take a little brandy with you for your stomach’s sake. Take leave of your friends and rel- atives; you may never meet them again, Take a fat pockethook with you; the chances are tIrn ou may often need it. Take the best berth you can get for the money. Take a chance every day in the pool. Take your food as regularly as you can. Take notice how more experienced travelers comport themselves. Take a fast hold on the companion rail in a storm. Take a walk on deck every day when practicable. Take the prettiest young lady pas- senger down to dinner. Take a snub from the captain quietly, probably you will often deserve one. Take a few notes in your diary the first two or three days out—alter that you needn’t trouble. Takea joke in thespirit in which it is given. Take care to tip your steward before going ashore. Take no liberties with crew. Take your number. Lalke a hand at poker when the stakes are not too high. Take yourself away from acouple who are spooning on deck at night; they don’t need your company. Take to the floor if your haven’t strength enongh 0 reach your berth. Take some malted milk when you are seasick, Take asolemn oath every time you feel bad that you'llnever venture to sea again. Take nobody into your confidence about your businegs affairs. Take a cab to the best hotel on reaching Liverpool, and—take the first boat back to New York FALMER. NP, RICHMAN. J.B.
