Whatever decisión is reache.1 at one seasion or term, the couteat is sure to be reopened at the tirst opportuuity. Therefore, at the meeting of the Board of Regenta oa Tuesday, Regent Cutoheou bciug absent.- before transacting the routine bumuess, but after (by oversight) orderiug degrees conferred upou the graduatss of the Law clasa- Regent Maltzoffered the following resolutions: Whebeas, In the judguieut of this Board, Preston B. Rose, late au assiataut in the chamical laboratory, is not a detaulter in the matter of the so-called laboratory deficit, and, Whebeas, Such opinions based upon the researches and mvestigatious of the Board ir! supportei by the Legislature of the State, aud conn'rmed by the written opinión of Senator Christiancy, late senior counsel ot the Board ; therefore, liesoh'ed, In the matter of the snit of the Rugents ot the Universitv of Michigan va. Preston B. Rose, Silas H. Uouglas, Rice A. Beal, Willaid B. Sniith, John Q. Wilsou aud Harvey S. Street, executors, iu the Circuit Court for the couuty of Washteuaw, State of Michigan, iu chaucery, that so mueh of the decree in said suit, as orders or adjudges auy sum of money whatever to be paid by said Preston B' Rose, as principal, or his sureties, is fully remitted and cancelled, and that B. F. Granger, solicitor and counsel for the complainants in said suit, be and is lieroby directed te forma lly diacharge said decree of record, as against said Preston B. Rose and his sureties, saviug and res rving all the rights of the coinplaiuant in said suit and uuder said decree as against Silas H. üouglas. Resolved, That Preaton B. Rose be and ia heroby appointed Aasistant Professor of Physiological Chemistry, at a salary of $1,800 per annuni, commoncing April 1, 1878. Postiouement uutil 2 o'clock waa moved aud retused, división of the queation refused, and au evident dispoaition mauiiested to push the thing through. Considerable discussion was had, not alvvays températe on either side, and during a speech by Regent Graut, Regenta E. C. and S. S. Walker left the roem. Regent Grrant followed at the close of his speech, leavïng no quorum, - but uot uutil after Regent Climir liad moved the previous question. An adjounimeut was maile until 1:30 p. m., but no quorum being secured the Board again adjourued uutil eveuing, with the same reault; i and at 8 o'clock again adjourued until 8.30 Wednesday moruiug. Meantime, Messrs. : Rynd, DufKeld, M.altz, and Climie, whose plans had at least temporarily miscarried, telegraphed to Goveruor Croswell - who officially is without any power in the premisas- for his advice. The farce of calling the Board to order, calling the roll, reportiug " four Regeuts present," and adjourning for a brief spaoe, was repeuted, we ion't kuow how mauy tunes, until at 8 1-2 o'clock Weduesday eveniug an adjourunient was taken to Wednesday, April 10, at 7 1-2 o'clock p. m. Before such adjournraent the four Regents ftled a statement concerniug their actiou. Eegents Urant, E. C. and S. S. Walker have pnblished a statement defending their course, deuyiug the right oí the Board to caucei the decree ugainst Rose and his sureties, - auother name ïor giving away abont $5,000 af the University moneys, or the policy of appointlng Rose to a positiou, the duties of which are uow " very ably performed by a competent person at less than half the proposed satary." ïhey also proposed to meet with their celleagues, confer the degrees, transact the other busiueS8, and to consider the resolutions of Regent Maltz whenever a futí Board could be present. We believs that the action proposed by the resulut.ioii8 of Regent Maltz is utterly indefensibie from iiny point of view ; that the Regenta huve no legal right to acknowledge satisfaction of the decree; and that the appointmentof Rose is mexpedieiit and not for the best iuterests of the Umveraity. Had a different member of the Board been absent, and a resolution offered to discharge the decree against Dr. Douglas and re-instate him iu his lost professorship, the quorum wrould have beeu speedily and voluuturily broken, or R. A. Beal would have snaked his llegents from the session-room, grasping either coat coliars or heels. " VVhat is sauce lor the guose is sauce ior the gander." How lout; will the trienils of the Uuiversity, throughout the State, play into the hands of a factiou bent on rule or ruin ? Isn't it high time that the Rose-Duuglas quarrel was dropped by the Uiaversity authorities, aud the legitimate interest ot' the Uuiversity taken iu charge ? - interests which cannot be subserved by uppoiuting either of them to a professorship. The iuterests of the University are high above personal interests, and the institution cannot prosper, if it eau long exist, with the bitter personal war of the last two years continued iu and by its governing Board.
