tion Association was reported hero
today when, it 13 cald, tho resignation
of President Nicholas Murray Butler
of Columbia University, New York,
was presented as chairman of tho
board of trustees of tho organiza
tion. That President Butler's resigna
tion has actually been presented
none of tho officers of tho organiza
tion would admit but tho report was
generally circulated and believed In
tho ranks of tho teachers.
When the board of 'directors of tho
association met shortly before noon

of that important position is taken as
the final signal of defeat and tho
Young insurgents are Jubilant.

ler are J. V. Joiner of Raloigh, N. C,
vice president of tho executive board
of tho association, Robort J. Lacoy,
of the University of Malno and 0. Y.
