What is more important in the present situation is the method of attack followed by University Hall. There can be no doubt but that the action of the trustees bore considerable connection with official opinion. A statement from Mr. Woodward, secretary to President Conant, however, said that the University "has taken no action." It is clear that the University was thus at fault on two scores; first, they did not accept responsibility for an action which they had instigated, and secondly, they did not deal directly with the students concerned...
...Omaha on a similar campaign with the Preakness this week at Pimlico, near the Belair stud where Woodward horses are raised along Mr. Woodward's own studiously reasoned lines of breeding.
