PROFESSOR GWATHMEY'S PROTEST

The Rector reported that he had received on the previous evening a letter from Mr. Allan T.
Gwathmey protesting against the decision reached by the Board on September 10th not to hear
Mr. Gwathmey and Mr. Runk on the athletic question. In the discussion that followed there
were general expressions of approval of the position taken in September that the Board should
wait to hear from the Athletic Committee of the Senate, and ought not in the meantime to hear any
member of the faculty on the subject. The Rector stated that he would reply to Mr. Gwathmey's
letter.
