l
leee, and Prof. T. NJ. Catch, an eminent
EDUCATOR of many years of success, en-
tlasoned in his stead. Ia the selection OF
Mr.. Miller, fitness and qualification had
nothing to do in the matter. His ap-
peintment was purely political. He was
as much out of place as the president OF
a college as farmer would be If placed
In charge Of Steamboat on the Williams
e,fe river. With Prof. Catch the matter
is quite different His success as presi-
dent of TIE Willamette university and
other schools during the past rs years,
gives promise that the o. A. c. will at
once take its place as one of, if net one
leading, best college. of the state and
coast. Mr. Miller can now start up his
saw ,r6al OF 20 into politics as profes-
sion, IN either Of which he may have
some shos 81 success, which he could
not have as the president of college.

one of the we'll known and pioneer edu-f
Gators in the southwest. He is psrsonaliy'
known to more students probably than
any other instructor in Oregon or Wash
ingtoii. He is very popular with all OF
them. He is the father of Claude Catch,
ex-mayor of Salem.
Lincoln Ltader: Prsf T. NJ. Catch,
late of the Washington university at
Seattle, was elected president of the Or
egou Agricultural College, at the meeting
of the board Of regents at Corvallis last
week. Prof. Catch is oneof the foremost
educators of the state, and his election
to the presidency of the Agricultural
College Is a happy selutien OF the
trouble which has enveloped that institu-
ton since the present state aaministra-
ton has made the college medium OF
/ political barter. Under the guiding OF
the experienced hand of Prof. Catch
there is no doubt but that the college
will progress as it should.
