W. L. Thorne '00 has been visiting
friends at the university the past week.
Mr. Thorne has been acting foreman in
a cattle ranch near Hastings since his
graduation and has but recently re
turned from an extended trip to Cali
fornia and tho west.
Maj. Conrad Scharman and wife vis
ited the university last week. Major
Scharman was among tho early stu
dents of tho university. During the
late war he was a major in the Third
Nebraska and at present ho is treas
urer of Lincoln county.
Jay A. Barrett '88 secretary of the
alumni association is preparing to
make a complcto record of all gradu
ates of the university. A book will be
kept for that purpose and each grad
uate will bo given several pages. All
matters of interest will be entered on
the proper page, this making a record
that will prove invaluable in a few
years. A collection of photographs of
all graduates is also contemplated.
Prof. G. E. Howard '76 has this to
say in a recent letter to Secretary
Barrett, concerning the desirability of
securing Prof. Geo. W. Botsford '84 as
an instructor in tho university: "Bots
ford would indeed be a man of whom
tho university could feel proud. 1
saw him at work at Harvard and the
work wo.s exceedingly well done."
Professor Botsford after his gradua
tion hero in '84 was lecturer in Greek
and Romance history at Harvard, pro
fessor of Greek at Kalamazoo, took his
Ph. D. at Cornell University and later
filled the chair of Greek at Bethany
College, W. V. He has recently put out
a History of Greece published by McMillans.
Tho feeling aroused among tliu stu
dents and faculty of Leland Sfauford
Jr. university by the enforced resigna
tion of Dr. Roes of tho department of
sociology and the consequent dismissal
of Prof. G. E. Howard of the history
department has evidently not abated
very much.
At a recent meeting of tho history
seminar of that Institution a resolu
tion was drawn up and signed by every
member of the seminar expressing deep
regard for Professor Howard, and ex
pressing admiration of "tho spirit
which has lead you for tho sako of
your students and tho university to
make many sacrifices." "We are
touched by your devotion to our wel
fare made evident by keeping up your
work faithfully to tho last in clrcum
'stances which rob .abor of its zest."
"Wo deplore tho loss which the univer
sity has sustained; but wo know that
your resignation cannot break tho ties
which bind you to your students."
The members of tho seminar wont in a
body to Professor Howard's homo to
present tho resolutions.
Probably tho general evontB leading
up to and immediately following Pro
fessor Howards resignation are famil
iar to mast of tho students of tho uni
versity. However tho great interest
attaching to tho affair which aroused
tho entire student body and induced
tho resignation of a number of tho
most prominent of Stanford's faculty
may bo a sufllciont excuse for a review
of it here.
It will be remembered that Professor
Ross was dismissed for some utter
ances which were distasteful to Mrs.
Stanford, tho patroness of tho univer
sity. Tho day following in an address
to one of his classes Professor How
ard asserted in strong language his
own independence and right to free
dom of speech. His object he said was
to impress upon the students the su
preme value of justice, independence
and a close adherence to tho vital prin
ciples of American liberty. He Is
quoted as saying "I do not worship
Saint Market street. I do not rever
ence holy Standard Oil nor do I doff
my cap to the Celestial Six Compan
ies" Shortly afterward President Jordan
requested him to apologize for "criti
cising the action and management of
the University" or failing in this to at
once tender his resignation. Professor
Howard replied tendering his resigna
tion and asserting that his address
was as earnest a protest against inter
ference with academic ficedom as ho
was capable of making, but declaring
that there was absolutely no discourte
ous reference to the president nor to
the founder of the university, although
there was involved a strong disapprov-
in -or tiii-u utii r-oofdcnt7ordnn
accepted the roaienation on Januarv
13th.
Professor Howard in a letter to Pros
Ident Jordan stated his position thus:
"I have not changed my attitude to
ward the university nor toward my
professional duties. I am only pro
testing against revolutionary proceed
ings. The vital point of tho whole
present incident Is a question of free
speech." He requested that his resig
nation take effect at once.
Professor Howard graduated from
the University of Nebraska in 187C and
took his masters degree in 1879. Dur
ing the years 1S7G-78 he studied in
Europo and returned in 1879 to take
the chair of history which -he held until
1891. He resigned to go to Leland
Stanford, accepting tho first chair of
fered by President Jordan at the open
ing of that institution. He was uni
versally beloved by students and fac
ulty alike.
The dismissal of Professor Howard
was followed Immediately by the resig
nation of several of the strongest men
Hn Leland Stanfords faculty. Among
those who resigned was Professor
Chas. Newton Little of the department
of mathematics, who like Professor
Howard is an alumnus ot Nebraska.
He graduated in the class of '79 and
took his doctor's degree at Yalo in "85.
He was connected with tho mathe
matics department hero from '80 to '93,
being at the head of that department
from '90 to '93.
There is a strong feeling among the
students and alumni of Nebraska in
favor of calling Professor Howard to
the university and placing him in
charge of some lino of work in history.
For the present he will live in San
Francisco and will be engaged in tho
completion of his work on "The His
tory of the Institution of Matrimony.',
