MINUES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, Apr. 24, 1902 - page 100



apology has been tendered by the faculty, President or the
students of the State College to Mr. Goode or the
Citizens of Kentucky.


      As the owner and manager of the Morning Herald in
whose employ Mr. Goode was and fvr whom he was acting, as
a former student of the A. & M. College who has the interest
of the college at heart, as a tax payer, and as a citizen
of Kentucky, communicate these facts to you with the avowal
that no man who approved of such conduct on the part of the
students of the State College is fit to be either President,
or professor in that college, and the further avowal that
these facts can be easily proven, and request you, as
representatives of the people of the State, charged with
the duty of supervising the college supported by taxes of
the Citizens of Kentucky, to take such action as will for-
ever put the ban of disapproval upon conduct that if approved,
will bring shame to the State College.   I have given the
President every opportunity to express either regret or
apology for the action of the students, and he has done
neither.  I have given the Faculty of the State College
every opportunity to take such action as will show their
disapproval, and prevent a recurrence of such outrages.

      I now appeal to you as the governing body, and hope
that it will not be necessary for me to carry this appeal
further.  I think it frank to say, however, that in my
judgement it is absolutely essential to the well being
of that college that action shall be taken either by your
Board, or the Grand Jury of Fayette C., and I shall take
the matter before the Grand Juary uiless action is taken and
I as a citizen of the State, I demand that which every
citizen has the right to demand of those entrusted with
public duty, that you either approve or disapprove the
action of the students, and the failure to act on the part
of the President and faculty.

                 With great respect, I have the honor to be
                        your obedient servant
