THEY CAME TO BLOWS

____________________

INTENSE FEELING AMONG STUDENTS AT NORMAL COLLEGE.

Over the Question of the Removal of President Boone. - Student Feeling Largely in Boone's Favor. An Ypsilanti dispatch says : "The mass meeting of normal students held yesterday afternoon in normal hall revealed the existence of unexpected intensity of feeling on the part of the school, both for and against President Boone. The majority of those present were firm followers of Dr Boone, but his opponents claim that the general student body fears to express its honest convictions in the matter, as the students believe that he would single them out, and at the end of the year would prevent their securing positions. The school is a unit in attesting to Dr. Boone's ability as an educator and executive officer. "The meeting closed with the adoption, by a majority of 449 to 28, of resolutions calling attention to the marked and continuous progress the institution has made under the administration of Dr. Boone," attesting to the 'appreciation of and confidence in his ability as an organizer and manager,' expressing the opinion that in view of the recent alteration in the division of the school year, a change in the head of the school is not advisable at this time and urging the state board to retain Dr. Boone." "To such a degree was feeling aroused in the matter that at the close of the meeting two prominent members of the senior class came to blows." ____ Subscribe for the Argus-Democrat and get all the news. $1.00 per year
