Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 13, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 November 1893 — A “HEAVENLY” PROFESSOR. [ARTICLE]

A “HEAVENLY” PROFESSOR.

Some People Think He Is Headed the Other Way. The school trustees at Terre Haute, Friday night, unanimously removed Prof. - A. Marlowe, professor of Latin atTEo’ high school. He is the educated author of a work known as “Heavenward,” who, about a week ago, sent his young wife of fourteen months, who is soon to become a mother and whom he has known since childhood, back to her home in Sullivan county to her parents, with the simple statement that he found he no longer loved her. This peculiar conduct on- the part of Prof. Marlowe caused an immense sensation and led some of his friends to think that the laborious work on his book had temporarily unbalanced his mind, but another conclusion was fopnd when ho appeared before the board and argued that his course was right as he had discovered his liking for his wife had ceased, and he declared that he would sue the board for his salary if he was removed. He had no charges at all to make against his young wife, lie also argued that if the board would stand by him the uproar caused by the affair would soon die out. The action of the trustees is commended by the community, as the public demanded his removal as an educator under the circumstances. .
