These catalogues were published under

I do not pretend to be " we.i post

that I am ; upon matters concerning
the University, " as well as on other
subjects." But I think I can see
some things without spectacles, and
anion"; them is that " Justice " is sail
as blind as ever. Here are some of
the sights that be lias not seen, nor is
he likely to Bee them as long as he is
neither " Jiide," nor " Poetor." lie
sees that, "upon the ratification of tho
new constitution, the Board of Educa
tion, as required, met and elected
a Board ot Trustee". There is to be
one from each County of tho State."
But he does not see that, as was not
required and as it bad uo right to do,
then nor now, this Board, before it se
lected these Trustees, suspended the
instructions at the University. The
Board of Trustees might have done so,
after it was organized. But. until this
eliiit'u. .Gut when oid the present
Trustees act ttnoii these resisruutions 1
Their pamphlet does not contain the
record of their acceptance. Did the
Trustees again allow " tho iin " to act
for them " it hour, authority and with
out censure? Is it not evident, Mr
Editor, that all this talk about ae-opt-ing
resignations, ec?., is a mere subter
fuge whereby "strangers" hope to

out a formal resignation. Nor was he,
as "Justice" asserts, the first Tutor
who ever taught the highest classes iu
the University, although he may have
been the first for whom the experiment
I was not continued nor repeated. oSor
has President Pool's "immediate family

its students and patrons for a longer
time than, with possibly one exception.

would fain have us believe. A late
writer in the " Sentinel " exposes the
falsity of this assertiou most effectually,
lie shows that several old families iu
North Carolina have been represented
at the University from the beginning
of its work in 179-'; down to the h.test
years thereof. Whenever I read this
effusion of "Justice," as I do every
now and then, I ask : Is it the func
