Also, your committee report consideration of the verbal complaint and statement of W. N. Flecther, to the Board, that the comission as Captain in the Cadets, to which he deems himself entitled, was not issued:
The facts appear to be that the head of the military department after having joined in certifying
233
justifiable, such certificate, and the matter virtue ally stands therefore as if no certificate had been sent in.
The reasons as stated by the professor of military science, for such withdrawl, are, lack of capacity and fitness of said Flectcher for the commission indicvated; and it does not seem to your committee proper for the Board to dictate to the head of a department, what his conclusions upon a question of judgemnet and discretion concerning results in his department, should be.
Your committee are of the opinion that the Governor of the State, under the circumstances could not do otherwise that withhold the issuance of said commission, and there has been no evidence produced to your committee, though it was understood that the same was promised by Mr. Fletcher, showing unreasonable or improper conclusions by the professor of military science in this case.
Your committee recommend that the matter be allowed to rest where it is at present.
