Finally when it was j stated that the trustees were ready ! to announce their decision the faculty and students reassembled In the ehapoi. The decision were read by Senator I Tillman, lie read them In a most im J presSlvo manner. The students choercd roundly the decisions in regard- to C 3 J det Thorn well and to the sophomoro class, but thero was no disorder or un ? seemly demonstration. The decisions I are aa follows: The board after most searching In vest i t Ion Into the causes which led to tin: suspension of Cadet Thorn tfell land the action of the faculty In refus ing the j titlon of the chlss for roii^ abatement. lU>d as follows: First. That the offenae was ndt of such magnitude and .seriousness as to warrant the sentence imposed, and that the punishment was entirely dispro portionate to the seriousness of the. of fense. Thr>. evidence shows that tho faculty was iu ver In possession of all tho facta in tho ease, and whilo there was some grounds for its action, wo feel that the trial was not conducted with that seriousness and thoroughness which should obtain in any case which Involves the character and good name of a cadet. Th? nfcageraeaa of the minutes and Inability of the faculty to present to the board In written form a record of ihe proceedings Is censurable and we shall expect It never to occur again. We can undeat&nd how there J might be a difference of opinion, as ap pears to have existed in the faculty, on account of the Incomplete evident'# before it. The faculty divided evident* lv on t&e question of intent. Qn the <4** hand, there was a belief,, that the, students understood their' obligation ill regard to this property.
