" DISMISSALS HELD UP AT BRYN MAWR UPON ORDER OF DIRECTORS Committee Takes Step in In vestigation of Alleged "Auto cratic" Actions of Dr. M. Carey Thomas HEARINGS SCHEDULED Dissatisfaction amonK nlutnnac. faculty members and studentH of nryn Mawr Col lege over tlie alleged "autocratic." man ngement of tho Main Mno school, today resulted In the notification of live In structors mnrlted for dismissal that their cases were being held In abeyance. A special committee of five directors Investigating" the charges agalmt Dr. M. Carey Thomas, president of tho school, which decided last night to "postpone" tho dismissals, will hold further meetings this week. The petition of the faculty to chango the liryu Mnwr charter so as to leinovo the hole power of appointment and dismissal of Instructors from the president will be considered. The student petitions of protest ngainst the dismissal of the llvo Instructois nnd tho petitions supporting Doctor Thomas also will be heard. A ncw phase of tho controversy came to light today when It liccumo known that many of the students have been hailing Dean Marlon Itellly ns "odr ne.t presi dent" Dean. Itellly, who handed In her resignation u few months ago, declined today to mako any statement as to the causo of her icslguatlou which, In the light of iccent developments, became of Intense Intel est and Importance to the alumnae and tho student body. She de clared that all tho news to be printed about her tesignatlon was printed two months ago and declined to make any comment when told that she was a favorite with the git Is at the college. Dean Hcllly also asked to bo excused from commenting on tho controversy bo twecn tho (.cnlor faculty and tho piesldeut. Sho gavo no hint of any pievlous knowl edge that the students looked favorably upon her ns a future picsldent of the school Hints of jealousy over Doctor Iicllly's populailty were heard In the village, but no person connected with tho school would comment on it Doctor Itellly was gradu ated from Iiryn Maw r w 1th a U. A. degree In 1001, and studied at Nenham College. Cnmbrldgo I'niversity, In the spring of 1007, and at the Universities of Itomo and Vienna In 1011-12. Her plans for the future have not been made, she said. Doctor Thomas, calm In the furoro which the protests have created, declared alio welcomes, an investigation which would "rcform'X tho college. Her action in removing tho fivo Instructors, she said, was to provide means for greater research which woidd enable the Institution to maintain its position. Tho changes de manded by the alumnao and students, In cluding the curtailment of the president's power anil tho eligibility of persons other than Ki lends to tho board of trustees, hae been under consideration fo- borne time, she added. "Wo simply met to discuss the year's budget," bald Doctor Thomas, when asked about last night's meeting. "The live Instructors havo not been dismissed. We do not dismiss anybody at Bryn Mawr." Besides Doctor Thomas, those at the meet ing weie Thomas Itaehum White, Prof, rtufus D. Jones, of Haverford College, a member of the Executive Committee ; JIIss V. D. Kirkbrlde, and others. In tho case of Dr. Arthur Russell Moore, assistant professor of physiology, virtually every member of his class signed a petition asking that he bo retained "be cause of his efficiency and thoroughness." The other limtructors scheduled for dis missal at tho end of the term are Dr. Richard Thayer Holbrook, associate pro fessor In romance languages ; Dr. Ida lingdon, n niece of Mark Twain, and Dr. ICdna A. Shearer, both senior readers In English, and Miss Clara Whitney Crane, also a leader in Hngllsh, and Dr. Iteglna 1C Crandall, associate professor In Kng 1111. A document picpared by onn of tho profesbors for a report on the "trouble" at Bryn Mawr happened to fall Into the hRnds of a reporter It had been pre pared for another faculty member. This report said: "Tho character of despotism under which we live Is the cause of our troubles. Communication between the trustees and the faculty should be made through more than one person. The relation Is com plicated by tho personality of the presi dent." It has been reported that not a single member of the senior faculty sides with Doctor Thomas, but tho faculty members. it would teem from attempted inter views, have "learned their lessons" and refuse to make comments for publication. Condemnations of President Thomas' methods and of the system at Bryn Mawr were made by Prof. Franklin H. Glddlngs, a leading member of the faculty of Colum bia University; Prof. William A. Neil son, one of Harvard's exchange profes sors at the University of Paris; Prof. Alvln S. Johnson, of Cornell, editor of the New Republic, and Prof. J. II. Hud dilston, of the University of Maine all, at one time or another, members of the teaching staff at Bryn Mawr, while a defense of President Thomas, mingled with soma criticism, was made by Prof. . Charles M, Bakewell, of Yale, who was at Bryn Mawr from 1898 to 1900. Prof. Thomas A. Jenkins, of the University of Chicago, declared that the unreasonable practices at Bryn Mawr constitute an "evil of some 20 years' standing," and are a "disgrace to the State of Pennsylvania.'1 GIRLS HELD NOT RELIGIOUS Bryn Mawr Christian Association Head Says Other Interests Distract Dancing, suffrage, fashions, prepared ness and athletics have made the Bryn Mawr students Indifferent to religion, ac cording to Miss Agnes Pickett Smith, re tiring president of the College Christian Association. So disinterested have the students become, he said, that several Important changes will have to be made In the association. A new constitution will be drafted. "It la not that the girls are not as good as they used to be," said Mies Margery Scattergood. a vice president. "They are merely pot as religious, I suppose they think that attendance at one meeting a week, the Sunday night meeting, U enough Tbfr tither meetings are poorly attvuded.
