Barnard writes to Fish. During the year 1885-86 Dr. Alexander was absent and his place was filled by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. During the first year Mr. Anthony Arnoux was extremely deficient. Just before the close of the last academic year Arnoux asked Dr. Butler to be examined in Logic and Butler said that he could not examine him without an order from the President. Butler then examined him and found him deficient. Not long after Arnoux applied for reexamination, got another order, was reexamined and found proficient. During the present year Barnard was informed that the person who presented himself as Arnoux was not Arnoux at all but a classmate of Arnoux by the name of Faber. Barnard asked Butler and Faber to meet in his room at 11 o'clock on Friday last. Butler addressed him, "Good morning, Mr. Arnoux." "I am not Mr. Arnoux, my name is Faber." Then occurred a passage of words which I need not repeat. I cut it short by saying I would send for Mr. Arnoux. I did send over to the Law School and Mr. Arnoux came over. When he came in Butler said, "I never examined this man. He is not the man who came to me under the name of Arnoux. This man was, or purported to be, Arnoux when I examined him in Logic." Both young men persisted in contradicting Butler. Burgess wants to dismiss the case without further notice. Dwight agrees with me that we ought to find out the truth. The facts are notorious apparently among the classmates of Arnoux and Faber. He wants the question of Jurisdiction settled.
