PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY.

The Board of Regents of tie West Vir>
ginia University have appointed Rev. j. r.
Thompson, of Morgantown, as President of
that institution.
The Wheeling Register thinks tie new ap
pointee possesses neither that dignity nor
ripe scholarship which is ordinarily regarded
as essential in position of such high dig
nifty" but hopes, ''for the sake of the Uni>
versity, and for the sake of the cause of edu-
cation in our State, that Mr.. Thompson may
prove to be worthy of the confidence reposed
in him by the Board, and may yet justify the
wisdom of their appointment" Among
other applicants for the position, the same
paper names Prof. W. n. Mcdonald. of
Louisville, KY, former resident of Charles
town, brother-in-law of Judge Thos. G.
Green, of the Supreme Court of Appeals,
and son of the late Col. August Nc
Donald. of Hampshire county, and says
"Mr. Mcdonald, although a young man
not younger, however, than Mr. Thompson
is q scholar of rare attainments, professional
teacher, and holds high position as an ed
ucator in the city of Louisville. Why he and
others should be thrown aside for young
man of no past experience, and who only has
the recommendation of being sensational
preacher to recommend him, is incompre>
hensible 70 u.s."
