SAN JOSE, May 2.—Henry E. Miller, the student who was refused a diploma at the State Normal School, and subse- quently reinstated by order of Judge Hy- land of the Superfor Court, was again dismissed from the school this morning. For filve weeks, Miller has been taking instruction In teaching, the only subject | on which he had failed, and his name had been posted as a candidate for gradua- tion with the June class. After Judge Hyjand had decided that Miller was un- justly dismissed, the Attorney General, who represented the faculty, was slow in filing an appeal to the Supreme Court, and Miller succeeded in getting back in- to_the school. Yesterday President Deatley recelved word that the appeal had been taken and he could dismiss Miller. The faculty at once met, and this morning when Miller put-in his appearance, he was told he could no longer attend school. Besides this, the president of the school says that reports of Miller's wirk in preparatory teaching were adverse, and that he would have been unable to graduate. Miller declares these reports on the part of his teacher, Miss English, were preju- diced, and that, while he did better work than others, he received less credit. Mil- ler's attorneys will fight the case in the upper courts and yet hope to win. Student Miller has attended the various normal schools in this State for upward of six years, and has had trouble at most of them. He is about forty years of age, and, before entering the normal, taught for a number of years. 2 LEAVES HIS ESTATE TO ARCHBISHOP RIORDAN ‘Will of Father Charles M.

Dr. Jordan Tells of Storms the University Has ‘Weathered. Special Dispatch to The Call. STANFORD UNIVERSITY., May 28— To-aay was exciusively the alumni’s, and Stanford’s sturdy body of graduates, none of whom have yet reached thre age of gray hair, rallied around the standard of their alma mater. And judging by the way they feasted and toasted the alumni have not forgotten their college days and experiences. For three hours they sat around the tables of the Roble dining hall, which had been burdened with delicacles suited to please the palate, while those who knew the early life of Stanford best told the members of the graduating class what good times were had by those for- tunate enough to have been here during the “days of grapes,” when the ploneers— the members of the class of 'Si—ruled the university. Leslie M. Burwell '93, president of the Alumni Asscciation, acted as toastmas- ter and led the onslaught of wit that was directed at the ‘“pioneers” by the mem- bers of all the other classes, who seemed envious of the distinction enjoved by those first to finish four years of Stanford un- dergraduate life. President Jordan was the last speaker | on the progsramme. He reviewed the early struggles through which the university went, telling of the time when it was in pawr: for eight million dollars in gold and did not know how it was going to raise the money to get out; of the dark days Whm the dread fear of an adverse ruling in the famous Stanford suit had left the university penniless and almost hopeless. ‘When Hope Had Fled. One incldent to which he referred made those who have entered the college since | the “hard times" realize just how gloomy | the outlook then seemed to all. 1t was | the time the university borrowed 320 with | which to give a reception to the class of '95, believing that it would be the last chance they would have to give such a eception, Y the Sheriff ere another year came. Dr. Jordan said that Stanford had n ing more to ask for from the State legi: lators, and spoke gratefully of the hand- ! some vote which the pcople of Califoroia | had given the Stanford amendment last | fall. The university was now in a posi- | tion to complete the plans of its founders. | As soon as the buildings now being co structed were completed every depar! ment would be well housed and Stanford | would have ample provision for 1009 stu- ! dents. i “This Is to be the largest number wk ¢ want here,” he said, ‘‘as Stanford s be great not in numbers, but in its ence on those who come in contact w { it. Her graduates will be able to say of her as did Daniel. Webster of Dartmouth: ! ‘Stanford is a small college, but there are those of us who love her.’ The policy of | the institution will be to have no concern about the numbers, but rather abput the | effectiveness which is instilled ifito her | graduates.’” !

The promenade concert, the prettiest so- | cfal event of the year, was given to-night by the senior class. The quadrangie was completely inclosed with burlap to keep out the wind and the crowds. Hundreds of electric lights and Japanese lanterns illuminated the immense amphitheater. Bunting festooned the columns and pillars | of the arcades.
