Mr. Price Sacrificed to Reds

The Bolshevized elements among. the studen: s set busily preparing issue of their school paper in which the most virulently—anti-foreign articles and a welcome to their beloved Dr. Chen were published in what can only be described ax dis: eased English; and a er this Dr. iam Price.was offered up. by the re-established President of the College as a sacrifice to his enthusiastic student, supporters and was simply "sacked", after 15 years' service, in the name of economy but lly because "of an altercation which Professor Price had had a year before with an unruly class, when the deliberately offensive con: duct of a Bolshevik cell in. certain had forced him to leave the room with the remark that while the majority were behaving. as gentlemen it was impossible to ce on with his lecture while some behaved like coolies. long Shih-yi is, of course, held responsible for this fresh outeropping of what is generally described as the Feng Vu-hsiung influence, in spite of Dr. Chien's whitewashing; and it is being ominously remarked in police circles that it was only out of respect for what they thought, was a predominating foreign me nonce that certain badly needed raids upon the school have been ithheld—raids which they can get military authority to execute since appears that the foreign Customs thorities have not enough author-to save a veteran professor from a vindictive radical group in the college. At any rate this has become a sufficiently conspicuous case to be widely quoted in Fengtien circles as still one more indictment against Liang Shih-yi and as ther evidence that he has irretrievably "queered" himself.
