| Regents Stebbins and Hallidie opposed
| the resolution as presented by Regent Bart
! lett on the ground of collegiate etiquette.
! Dr. Stebbins thought that the bill should
have originated with the board instead of
the affiliated colleges in this city sending it
Oh their own accord.
After considerable discussion the resolu-
ton was finally adopted.
Columbus Bartlett offered an amendment
to the bylaws requiring twelve votes, or a
majority of the board. to elect president.
| The apparent object of the anne ndment was
| to head off the election of Professor Martin
| Kellogg, which was made almost sure by
| the resolution made By Judge Wallace and
| adopted at the last meeting, requiring but
| two-thirds of the board present to elect a
president.
The special order of the day was next
| taden up.
| H. S. Foote spoke of Professor Moses as
| his choice for the position of president.
| He said that Professor Kellogg had been
| acting president of the university for about
| two years, but in all that time he had n OF
| the rpepnnsihility of a nrpaidauf attached n
| him. but contrary TO the wishes of some Of
| the older regents, Mr. Foote said that be
| had decided to support Professor Kellogg,
| as the university was IN need OF perma-
nent head. and the acting president would
| do credit to the Institution, although, &C
| cordng to Mr.. Foote's ideas, he was not as
| we'll fitted for the position as Professor
| Moses.
Regent Martin then proposed that the
| election OF president for the university be
proceeded with, and he placed in nomina-
| ton Professor Martin Kellogg, the acting
| president of the university.
A rolicall resulted in the following vote,
those in favor of Professor kellogg saying
AYE" and those opposed, No: AYES
Anderson, Bartlett, Foote. Houghton.
Noes-Hallidie, Marye. Rodgers, Rowell
| and Stebbins. Professor kellogg not re-
ceivng the necessary vote-a majority of
the regents-President Phelps declared no
election.
Regent Foote at once questioned the legal
ity Of the amendment requiring majority
vote. He declared that Professor kellogg
was elected according to the bylaws, and
as this was an adjourned meeting no amend
ments to the bylaws could be made Regent
Foote'S opinion was exactly the same as
that of Judge Wallace and others, who
wanted the election of Kellogg declared
unanimous.
After much squabblng 1t was decided to
have reelection according to the bylaws.
Regent Bartietts amendment was with
drawn. and the secretary again proceeded
to call the roll, the result being that Pro-
lessor kellogg was elected president of the
university. receiving eight ayes and five
noes.
Regent Houghton then made a motion
that the election of Professor Kellogg be de-
clared unanimous, which was carried.
The expected news of the election of Pro-
fessor Martin Kellogg to the presidency of
the university greeted the students last night
as they walked to the station from the uni
versity There were DOn-communIcatiye
shrugs Of the shoulders, and such remarks
werr made as these:
''Well. Kellogg's in, now let us see what
he will do. We will all gladly ackn0Wl ledge
the wisdom Of the choice if his policy is
vigorous enough 10 place us as a university
where we should be. We know we have in
him man who Intimately knows the needs
OF the institution"
