Members Will Not, However, Disclose

is in all probability the Rev. William

Herbert Perry Faunce. d. d., of New
York.
For over a month the committee has
been agreed upon the man for the presi-
dency. But there was hitch in New
York city. A certain gentleman of the
corporation had objections, but he has
now WfthdTawn them. Every day Tor
the past three weeks Col. Goddard has
been expecting the information which
would enable the committee to go
ahead. Yesterday afternoon IL came
and about 4 O'clock Secretary Rev. Il. ID.
Anderson OF the corporation went to
University Hall and issued a call for
the meeting a week from Saturday
The committee has been much more
generous in giving out hints as TO the
new president this time than before, In
the first place, the new president must
be Baptist by the charter of the cor
poration.
In the second place. he is a minis
ter. DIR. George Il. Horr practically
said as much in the Watchman three
weeks ago, when he said that the vari-
Gus committee on college presidents
would probably find a minister after
all the best man for the place as he
was not mere specialist.
In the third place he is a New York
man. During the hitch OF the past few
weeks IL was always found necessary
by certain members Of the commit
tee either 60 so to or communicate with
New York.
In the fourth place. the new presi-
dent Is n young man. This fact came
out I'm this weeks issue of the Watch
man. DR.. Horr says:
THE college and church committees
that are i'm search Of presidents and
pastors find IN the constituencies they
represent "A strong demand for young
men. There are some good reasons
why a comparatively young man should
be desired as "A college president. In
