BANKS TO RETURN ?? COLUMBIA ESTEEMED TEACHER LEAVES FACULTY OF FRAZER FITTING SCHOOL WORK GOING ON .. .,< Financial Condition*. Alone Re sponsible for Change Say |! Trustee?. 1 i; The board of trustees of the Fraser Fitting School announced yesterday that Professor A. R. Banks has with drawn from the faculty of the institu tion and that the work has been dis tributed BO as to care for all of the classes. Professor Banka has been conversant with every movement of the institution since his connection with it in September. It v as evident soon after the olehing of the Insti tution that the b ?cnses would be, in excess of the receipts. It' ia the set: tied policy of the institution to keep olean of anything like a largo -indebt edness. When the real situation was confronted Professor Banks very gen, erouajly offered to withdraw from the institution, inasmuch as . he was. the most/recent addition to the faculty, and Inaaxpuqh. aa hie ties t? Ander' eon were not s? binding as those of other) members of the faculty. Tho whole mattet* baa been most satlafac torlly; arranged,and Professor Banks in leaving the Institution of bis own accord has the highest esteem of the faculty and members of the board of trustees, add they are 'likewise "es teemed by him. Tho services render ed by Professor Banks were moat satisfactory and but for' the great fi nancial stress caused hy the war In Europe there would have never been any thought of such a change In the pin is of the institution. "Professor Banka goes to Columbia, his former home, while the work of the Institution here goes on under the direction of the other members of the faculty. Dr. Frazer bas ashed the board of trust?e? to .relieve him of any further responsibility for the dis cipline and the financ?e of the Insti tution. He will remain as the head master and professor of Bible. The Institution has. done remarka bly fine. work and it Ja so arranged aa to carry on the work in the future without any lowering pf .the standard set by the former achievements of the in st l tut iou. Professor Banks has been most pleasantly associated with thc various Interdata of the city and leaves with the deepest regrets. He has found a large) pince ;4n the hearts' of .the peo ple abd, bo has been, most, pleasantly aeaoqated In every way. Ho carries with Siin> the love and respect of the' large! circle of friends, including cverji f-tudsii ??o' ass been un?ur his Instruction during his services to the Institut lon. Ho bsd leaned to say from'the very bottom of his heart "Anderson i8 my town" and he feels very keortly the rending of tb? ties that havo beeb so pleasantly formed.
