Answering statements that friction within the ranks of the official body of the University of California caused him to tender his resignation, Dr.

David P. Barrows foday reiterated his previous assertions that "personal reason" only are tha cause for his relinquishing the executive office on-the campus. Charges were made recently that lack, of support on the par of the regents caused Dr. Barrows to resign, The president breaks hi silence to make the following state- ment; On matters of general policy there have been few differences btwean the iMwaU and the pres- 1 mem; ana tne nappny iew Instances in which the president has recommended contrary to the prevailing opinion of the senate, the regents have Invariably' suutained the president's recommendation.

The relations between the senate and the president have not been, inharmonlously broken. The president has not found It necessary to appeal to the re-.

gents in support of (hls authority, and consequently 1 the regents -have not failed with respect to the in giving him proper support. I am not resigning" the office of president because I despair of a rlgrtft solution of the university's problems, nor of a propw administration of but for a reason whlc my letter of retirement exactly and Icomprehen-stvely states'; my ence for plans feasible to a professor, but impracticable to a university executive.1 and my belief i that as a professor I can be more successful and. more serviceable.
