RESIGNATION OF PROF. RIDPATH.
1t is with universal regret on the part of the
trustees and friends of the college that the an
nouncement is made to the public that Prof j.
G. Ridpath, so well and favorably known as the
vice-president of the university and professor of
history and political philosophy in the Asbury
College of Liberal Arts, has resigned his position
in the faculty. to take effect Immediately. Dr.
Ridpath has long occupied the chair of history in
this university. and undoubtedly has acquired a
reputation as an educator and historian second
to none in the United States. He will now de-
vote his time to the completion of his History
of the World and other literary labors. Dr. j.
P. D. John, professor Of applied mathematics,
has been elected vice president of the university
to succeed DR.. Ridpath. The vacancy caused in
the department of history and political philoso-
ply will not be filled Immediately, the duties of
the chair being divided among other members of
the faculty.
Prof G. E. Emmerich, of indianapolis, kindly
examined the examination papers on which the
Central-avenue prize in German was awarded.
The faculty appreciate the courtesy.
