A PRO-BOER PROFESSOR

Received Feb 11, 9 54 a m

Bydnky, February 11 The University Senate, after considering the speeches and letters of Professor Wood in connection with the Anti-War League, passed a resolution declaring Professor Wood's utterances unworthy of a Professor of History, whose speech ought to have marked strict impartiality and freedom from passion. Such remarks as his were highly reprehensible, tending to encourage the enemies of the country, and c@ hinder the establishment of a just and honourable peace, also to impair the value of his teaching in the University
