trustees OF DePauw University closed their
session this evening. Dr. II. A Goblin. pres
ent dean OF the theological school. and
vice president of the university. was made
temporary acting president to take charge
with the close of to-morrow's exercises.
The question of President Johns re-elec.
tion did not come before the board. There
was the same conditions i'm the opposition
TO him which had been when he resigned
and the matter was. therefore. not
broached. II was thought he could have
secured majority OF the votes. but that
would not have been satisfactory. Who
will be elected is not definitely settled but
tho trustees state they will secure the best
possible man in the country for the posi-
ton. One trustee stated, however that
there was a possibility of no election next
year and that DR.. Goblin would probably
continue as acting president all year. Bish-
op Bowman was reelected chancellor of
the university. having resigned that posi-
tfon few months ago. DIR. c. n, Sims. OF
Indianapolis, did n6 figure at all. Ii is
also said by one connected with the college
that Dr. Sims can never be considered az
possibility again. IL is rumored that Bish-
op Bowman is the track Of another be-
quest. Newland 7. DePauw has been re-
elected president of the board Of trustees
and states that the board is subject 10 a
called meeting from him at any time: but
that the next regular meeting will be In
January. DIR. W. V. Brown will take the
position at the head or the department OF
mathematics. made vacant by the resigna-
tion of Professor Waldo, who goes TO Plr-
due. Lieutenant Lewis will have charge Of
the freshman mathematics DR.. T. C. Du-
vail will probably retire from the faculty,
as he has an offer from Ohio Wesleyan A
chair OF biology was formed on botany and
zoology being combined in that department
instructor to be elected. Several of the
professors salaries were slightly increased
and the expenses have been placed al a
figure that will keep them within the in
come. The board members announce their
meeting was practically unanimous all
their actions IL is thought the new presi-
dent will come from the East.
