No More Eggs

Although Dr. Thomas T. Shields, Trustee-President of (Baptist) Des Moines University won, last fortnight, his re-election and whelming trustee-support in his fight against dismissed University President Harry C. null one thing worried him. When he expelled President Wayman because he seemed to be a modernist, Des Moines students had thrown eggs, rocks. (TIME, May 20.) The police had to interfere to shield Dr. Shields and the University's loyal-to-Shields Secretary, Miss Edith Rebman. Now Dr. Shields had to return to Des Moines from a Baptist Bible Union convention in Buffalo and he was worried.

Last week he received a telegram. It read: ''Des Moines University students promise not to rotten-egg Dr. T. T. Shields and Miss Edith Rebman of the board of trustees when pair return to Des Moines next week."

Worry dispelled, Dr. Shields remarked: "It's rather nice of them, don't you think?"
