publican in Brooklyn. He took prom
inent part in the campaign in which
Garfield was elected president, and a
year later. he was elected mayor of
Brooklyn, in spite of the efforts of the
political bosses to defeat him. Until
his election to the headship of the great
school he was never regarded as a
scholar, but during the seven years he
has officiated as the director of Column
bia he has shown himself to be not only
a man of the widest culture, but man
of affairs. He has handled the inter
ests of the university with such skill
as to make it the marvel of the east.
Prof. Low knows civic government thor
oughly, and some of the most promi-
nent men in Greater New York demand
his nomination from the republican
party. He might have been the repub-
ican nominee for the New York mayor
atty in 1888, but he did not agree with
the party platform. and declined the
honor.
