afternoon TO take action looking to the re-

of the university.
The faculty are also planning to bring
every pressure to bear upon DR.. Gilman 20
induce him TO decline the proposition OF his
New York friends who want to make him
superintendent Of public schools of the

he will NOT accept the New York offer II the
proposition to divide the responsibilities uf

DR.. Gilman and the other for the present
superintendent, Mr.. John Jasper, is ear
riel into effect DR.. Gilman was only at
sracted to the New York offer, say the
university men, by the fact that it was an
extraordinary opportunity for an educa-

never accept it if he is not to have full
and free sway.

hat the proposition to divide~the office
