No Graduation Hence Gore is

The O'Hair-Nelson-Longden Unpleasantness. On Monday morning last the unpleasantness resulting from the failure of Prank O’Hair and Miss Nelson to obtain diplomas from DePauw University assumed a phase of blood; O’Hair being the attacking party, and James Nelson, a brother of Miss Nelson, an onlooker, while Prof. H. Longden, who occupies the German Chair of the University, posed as the victim of the ill-considered and deplorable onslaught. The assumed cause of this attack was the ill-feeling which had arisen from the fact that Prof. Longden had retused to pass O’Hair and Miss Nelson. This refusal was because of alleged poor work in class and cheating on final examination. Several articles and interviews have been published, in which it was claimed that these parties stood higli as students and that Longden’s refusal to pass them arose from personal reasons. Report is that there are facts which contradict these statements. O’Hair and Nelson were once placed upon good behavior by the faculty because of a malicious note involving the good reputation of a fellow student. This restriction was never removed. A mere glance at the University records disproves the statement as to the good studentship of the parties refused graduation. Up to the time of the assault upon Prof. Longden, so far as informed, he and his fellow members of the faculty of the University have refrained from presenting their side of the unpleasantness in the newspapers; while on the contrary the outside world has been satiated with explanations, statements, etc., written or inspired by either O’Hair, Nelson, or their friends, in which they were posed as martyrs and the “the powers that be” at the University were presented as a sort of Court of Inquisition organized to convict and

condemn.

The circumstances of Monday’s assault, as report comes to us, is that Jas. Nelson and Frank O’Hair laid in wait for Prof. Longden, on Anderson street,, near the second ward school building, for some time before he appeared. When within hearing distance O’Hair said to the Professor that he wished to have a talk with him: Prof. Longden replied that he had little or no time to spare, as he had an engagement for the next hour. O’Hair asserted, however, that the wrongs he suffered under as to the examination in German must be discussed and settled, and that then was the time, and the ground they stood on the place. He proceeded to emphasise this latter remark by knocking Prof. Longden down, and then beating him until citizens who had arrived interfered. While O’Hair was beating the Professor, James Nelson stood near by and encouraged the onslaught by exclaiming in language more emphatic than polite: “Kill him! Damn him! Give him hell!” or words to that effect and intent, so the report goes. From accounts current it appears that Nelson has been persistent in insulting and pro oking Prof. Longden for some time ; ist. Some ten days ago, it is said. Nelson met Longden on the street; lie stopped him, shook hands, and accosted him in the fol-

lowing manner:

“How are you, Prof. Longden; I am glad to see you. This is the first time I have had an opportunity to tell you that you are a liar and a coward.” Possibly it would have been better had Prof. Longden resented this style of treatment some time ago; his forbearance under the circumstances seems to have been more creditable and charitable than the eircimstanees warranted. That Prof. Longden has the courtttc-ace of the •.-iadertr* connected with the University is vouched for by their action at a public meet-

in the city at-

tending the summer school. The meeting was harmonious and the fol-

given our support to these unworthy j students: that we recognize this as-1 saint a« an act which Sprali^ from an unjustifiable, malignant and a brutal enmity; that we extend to Prof. Longden our heartfelt sympathy and support on account of the unjust persecutions be has undergone; that we consider Prof. Longden’s conduct throughout the whole affair worthy of commendation, and that we denounce as false all newspaper reports contrary to the sentiment of these resolutions. We will add further that we know from numerous communications received that if all the students were here they would enter heartily into the spirit of these resolutions. As in all matters of dispute or war, there are two sides to this affair. The above is the case as reported by one side. The other story varies in several particulars. O’Hair denies that he and Nelson waited about the second ward school building until Prof. Longden appeared on the street coming from his home. He avers that he attempted to avoid the encounter and struck the Professor only when “he assumed such an attitude as compelled me to knock him down.” He denies that Nelson assaulted, urged him to assault or continue the assault on Mr. Longden, and says he did not strike him after he was down. O’Hair further says that the assault was not because of anything that had occared in the past, but was the outgrowth of the conversation that took place at that

time.

On Tuesday O’Hair was arrainged lor an assault on information filed: Prosecutor James entered a nol pros, having determined that it was best to give the ease attention at the next term of Putnam Circuit Court. HERE IT IS! The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Truth. Faculty Give Facts, Forswearing

Fiction.

To the Public: The following statement concerning the refusal to graduate Mr. Prank O'Hair and Miss Jean Nelson from DePauw Fniversity is given by order of the College Faculty. This is the first public statement made by the Faculty relative to the matter. It has been deemed a satisfactory reason for this silence that these young persons have already sulferetl sufficiently in the esteem of the people by their own public admission of the truth of the charge against them, and the Faculty has been unwilling to add to their humiliation by a statementof the facts in the case. In view, however, of the recent assault upon Prof. Longden by Mr. O'Hair and of the repeated misrepresentations that have from time to time appeared iu public print, further silence is impossible. Justice both to Prof. I.ongden and the University demands that the facts be given even though they hear severely upon the young persons involved. First, with respect to Prof. Longden. He has been an instructor in the University since 1H81 and has been held in high esteem through all this period by faculty ami students alike. in the tinal examination of Ads class in flermau at the close of the curwnt vear he discovered that Mr. O'Hair and Miss

Nelson had their own

ad presenled spurious answers as , which they had copied from the

paper of another student. This examination was the same that had been set for the entire section of about forty members and was not prepared for these two persons specifically. He rejected both papers. This action was not unusual, other members of the faculty having pursued the same course under similar circumstances, and having denied similar offenders a second examination. In another department within the past three years one ottender of this kind was not only’denied a second examination, but was suspended from * 1 ‘“ 1’“* i *~ * 1 1 the prea-

sented the spurious paper- Thereupon'the faculty requested Prof. Longden to explain the case, after which they took the matter in hand. They approved his action and instructed him to wit hold a second examination. This is the beginning and the end of Prof. Longden’s connection with the failure of the youn^ people to gr^biute. Whatever supposed injustice there may be in the refusal of a second examination to those who abuse the privileges of the first, it rests in this case wholly with the faculty and not with Prof. Longden personally. ‘His bearing throughout the entire history of the case has been dignified, manly and Christian, and he has by his forbearance under extreme provocation strengthened himself in the esteem

and affection of his co-laborers.

Second, with respect to Mr. O’Hair. He admits that he presented a spurious paper as his own in his German examination, and he pleaded in extenuation previous good record as a member of the University. Whether his plea was valid or not will now appear. This is not the first time that he has been discovered in the offense of cheating upon examination. A former ease occurred about two years ago in the department of Biology. Mr. O’Hair finally admitted the truth of the charge and, as a consequence, forfeited a half years credit in Biology. The instructor did not at the time report this case to the faculty. Further, Mr. O’Hair had been on probation in the University since his Freshman year for a grave offense committed at that time against a fellow student. The truth of the charge he finally admitted after persistent denial. In view of his pist record ami of his offense on the occasion of his last examination. he was not permitted to graduate from the College of Liberal Arts. For the same reason the University Senate refused him public graduation from the school of Law.
