At q meeting OF the corporation OF Yale
College President Porter's resignment was
formally received. Prof. Timothy Dwight
was nominated as his successor and was
unanimously elected and a committee ap-
pointed to notify him OF his election. His
Inauguration will take place on July 1, the
day after commencement, when he will
make the customary inaugural address.
Prof. Dwight is a Congregational minister,
and is fifty-eight years old. His grand-fath-
or was professor OF Yale from 1795 until his
death in 1917. Prof. Dwight was appointed
Buckingham professor of sacred literature
in the Yale theological department in 1858,
and still retains this professorship. He
was ordained to the ministry Sept. Is,
1861, and received the degree OF DID. fro ON
the Chicago theological seminary in 1869.
Prof. Dwight's election has been a foregone
conclusion for years. As long ago as 1871
he wrote a paper on the New Englander en-
titled 1.-THE True Ideal OF an American Uni
versity, for the Future OF Yale Collegs. in
which he defined ideas of what Yale should
be. Later years have not altered his opin-
ions. Among the graduates in New Haven
he is regarded as the only really available
man for the presidency.
