| p. d. John, the retiring president OF De
| PAW University, will go on the lecture
platform for a while in combination of
| business and pleasure. During his fifteen
years connecticut with the university he
| took no vacation, and the last six years
| of the time his work was doubly hard as
president and chairman of the executive
| committee. He stated to-day that he
would take a much needed rest, and in do
| ing so would accept some of the lecture
| engagements which have been rendered
him so many times During his terms as
| president he turned aside-fuily nine-tenths
| of his calls for lectures because he believed
| he owed all his time to the university, and
when he did go went representa-
! tive of DePauw. He now has the care OF
the institution off his shoulders and will
| perhaps for year take the general lecture
| field, making a specially of calls from Ep-
| worth League conventions and such organ
izations; After a. good rest and look over
| the field, Dr. John viii again take up his
/ chosen work in life, that OF higher Chris
