some probability that a chancellor for the
university will be selected by the board OF
regents at its meeting tomorrow. This
will be the last meeting Of the present board
and 1t Is possible that some important busi-
nesJ will ba transacted. Regenti Rich and
Teeters will attend and both will be given
voice in tho deliberation OF the board
u any very important matters are taken up
for consideration.
A special committee appointed to investi-
gate the record and standing of the various
men spoken oi for tho position of Chancel-
lor held meeting in Omaha recently and 1t
is understood that it will make a recon-
mendation to the board tomorrow. The i'm
preston prevails at the university that the
place will fall to either President Stubbe
OF tha Nevada state university, Professor
jerks OF Cornell university or Superintend-
ent Andrews OF Chicago.
There has been considerable talk among
ths faculty OF the university in favor Of
Professo; jerks, but the indications now
point to the selection of President Stubbs.
Those who favored Andrews for chancellor
have suggested that 1t would be unwiso for
the regents OF the Nebraska university to
call to tlEn position a man from smaller
institution, More has been learned of the
record o, President Stubbs during the past
of the faculty are now heartily in favor Of
his appointment. He ia at present presi-
den. OF tho American Association Of Agri-
cultural colleges, he took doctors de-
gree at one OF the German universities and
was for while at the head of Baldwin COL
lege, near Cleveland Ohio.
There is some talk of an effort being made
by the friends of Superintendent Wolfe Of
South Omaha to prevent any election by the
present board. 1t has been semi-offcially
stated that Professor Wolfe would be re-
instated tho head of the department Of
sociology by the new board, which, 1t Is
understood. would be with the ultimate idea
of later promoting him to the chancellor
ship. Should the Wolfe faction prevail at
the meeting tomorrow the chancellorship will
doubtless bo offered to a number Of prom
inent educators committed in advance to de-
cline, so as to open the way for the eventual
appointment of MIR. Wolfe.
