{ —— | THE INVESTICATION RESUNED A Further Ventilation of the Trouble at the State University. MANY EX-STUDENTS EXAMINED. Thelr Testimony Substantialy Same as That Adduced at the Former Scssions of (i Board of Begents. the Laxcorx Brrkat 1020 P Sturer, TANCOLN, Pursnant to Friday's sdjparnment the bonrd of regents this morning resumod the investigation into the conduct of Chancellor Manatt since he became the recognized head of the state universit, The alummi iutro- duced Mr. Frank W. Kramer for the purpose of substanttally proving the charge in speoi- fication seven. Being duly sworn he stated that he bocamo astadent of the university during the fall of 15%. Prior to his matei- culation, however, he formed the evquaint auce of 8. 8. Chasa, with whom he made arrangements to live and worl for his board @uring his student days, That he might do this ho sought relief from deill in the cadet corps and called apon the chancellor to see oF Owana Bez, } whether or not he could be relieved drowm such duty. “I told the chancelior,” said Mr. Kramer, ‘that had to make my own W md had engaged 10 do chores and other work for my bread, but would have to walk eight wiles cach day, which 1 could not do and ttend to drill ex- orcisos, He advised me to go bome and go the money uecessary to echorl and then to eome it in ch u way that it hurt my feclings very deepty. Bat he cxcusod me from rill.” The cross examination took up but a moment’s time, and the prosecation rested. Tho chancoelior asked the witness if the advic great dist day, to which he re ould have to walk each “Ido not know, pu wdvised mo Prof. Charles 1, was first called by the defense and duly sworn. He said that 1 of the Latin department L and had been du the three years last past. He furths that his relations with the chanceilor, and students had been rather close and inti- mate, and that he felt himselt competont to testify on most questions, if not all, raised in the alumni’s chary st the chaucellor. ly asserted that the and o somet y, he thought not suft 10 warrant the spocifie the alumni associati witness seid, i r rare chancell irony and faculty attended gularly, but happened to be ab- ime of the opon rpture between or and Prof. MeMillan. 1In his relations with tho studenis,” the witness said, “the chancellor was uniform wpatient, considerate aud a3 deferential as could well be considering the digaity of his position. 1 happened to witness the meeting w anatt and Mr. Tinker, gainst the chancel ¢ regarding the disposition of the meetings, arranged for a sh gramme of commencement werc opposed by the chanceilc attitude was very deflant und his indicated passion.

I have also hourd Prof. Howard advise the abandonment of the oftice of chancellor, and u government of the faculty to take its place.” Prof. Bennett wus cross examined at grent length, but in spirit and faet his testi- mony = remained unshuken. It s true, liowever, that matters of personal fnterest, but in no way bearing upon the charges under investigation, were levelo That the ncellor and he Were ¢ endiy term that the wit- ness expec professional advancement through the aid of the chancellor, but not under pressure of allegiance to the adminis- tration; that the witness and administration had not always been friendly ; that gri ices between them had existed, but that they had been settled withont official interposition The wituoss insisted that he esteemed the chancellor competent for the position he held, and that he was fair and dignified in his rulings and gov: ment of faculty meet- ings. He claimed fri ly feelings for the tacuity aud all parties interested in the in- vestigation, and wus deliberate, fair, frank and sccmingly honest in ail of his state- ments.” Regent Mallalfeu settled the impression by ® few timely questions that there had been @ collusion between the professor und chan- cellor relative to the salary and advanceuent of the witness, and the Lo was wost thoroughly developed that Bennctt is still working for the smne salary paid him the first year, whereas the understanding wi hat if he provea to be the party wanted by reason of competency and cxperience, he was to receive the salary of a professor—s2.000 per Tt scems that the chaucellor had agreed to recommend the raise of his salary #00, recently, at the present meeting of the ourd of regents, Judge Allen W. Field, a duate of the ‘Aniversity of the class of 1577, was called to the stand and swory, testifyiug that he was a member of the alumuni ussociation and had been since the year following his raduation, and that he had been the | habit of attending the meetings of the association. When askod 1f he had uttended the last meeting of the slumni, he said: 1 did not because I feceived no notice that such a meeting was to have been held. It is usual,” safd Judge Fiold, “for notices to be given, and sowe times the ofticers of the association are so polito that invitations are issued. Such no. tice or invital have been given but I received none.” Judge Field furtier said that had his attention be meeting he should most ce tended. Witness did not beli meeting was generally known, the couservative mewbers of the would have eutered a vigorous protest against the passage of the resolution; that it never would bave passed had the m been generally attended, and that b that he was in u position to kinow w he was testifying to. He said that one great reason for this is because the mafority of the wssocintion know very little regarding the prescnt “internal” condition of the afairs at university; that the past had demonstrated that the chancellor's position in the Nebraska university was something like a whipping post, to be used by the facuity ws circum sta and conditions might warrans, and to hide behind when personality was to be wirrored in any way. ‘The witness was very sure the university had prospered under the management of Chancellor Mauutt. The matriculution of students from ull over the state and the union, since the commencenent of his administration was proof sufi- cient of this. Growth in 7 enroll- ment had been without precedent during the eutire history of the imstitution. The university has a fair name abroad, and until tle hasty and unwise action of the alumni, at its last moeting, very litile was known of “trouble brewing and growing," even in the city of Lincoln, the howe of the institution. "Ihic witness said that the general reputation of Chancellor Manatt as an official, at home and abroad, was of high order. He said that the patrons of the stale university pr ‘n: Ly laced a due estimate upon the chancellor’ work In bringing the high and common schools of the state into close relation with the university, and that he believed the pass- calied to the ssociation ®ge of the resolution condemning the admin- ist, W {mly unjust. ther, the udge sald: “T'haye met the chaucellor quité requently in social relations, and bave alwnys found him mm:lnun\yh his demeanor ud bearing. 1 always found his man- EDNESDAY, JULY 18, 1888, ner of addrs= wory ploavamt and agreeabl The cross-cxaminaii®, conducted by M Wilson, was toe long for 1 It strongth- ened ather than wenkenicd Judge Flolda state uts, When asked if he had not de clared Manatt unfit and fncompotent for the position he was occupying, he ime tnivocal dental. .
