The dismissal of R. M. Thomson
from the cadet band for circulating a pe
tition to the effect that the baud boys re
fuse to play at the girls' gymnasium ex
hibition unless granted permission to
take in other boys on the ticket which
read "self and lady," has been the sub
ject of considerable discussion the past
week. The general verdict seonis to bo
that not only was the dismissal made
without serious provocation but that the
Commandant has (dearly gone outside
his "realm." When the petition was cir
culated, last Saturday afternoon, tho
band was not on military duty. Tho
band was responsible to the Chancellor
and not to tho Commandant. Tt is un
derstood that other members of the band
refuse to play unless Thomson is rein
stated. The faculty is being urged to
reinstate Thomson.
