Iowa Students Pleased with New Head
of University.
IOWA CITY, Ia, Sept 15.-(Special.) y
The State university Of Iowa has a pres-
dent. Everybody knows 1t now When
President MacLean addressed the first con-
. vention Of students, who had marched in
procession several blocks long to the opera
house yesterday afternoon, he won the re-
spect, esteem and affection of every man
and woman present. The students cheered
to the echo when Acting President Currier,
In introducing President MacLean, pledged
him the hearty support Of the faculties and
students.
Responding, President MacLean spoke for
half an hour words that will be long re-
membered by every one who heard them.
Referring to the students and faculties as
members of one university family, he said
that the State university of Iowa must be
Christian school, according to the ordinance
by which 1t has been given support. There
are two kinds of schools in Iowa, church
and state schools, but both are Christian
There is room for all here, Jew and GENTLE
and charity for the agnostic. He said he
wanted to become the personal lend of
every student. The modern university Is
the most democratic thing in democratic
America.

military drill and college sports were
branches thereof. I'VE want legitimate
sport in all branches-track, base ball, tennis
and foot ball." he continued 1--WE want
to win, too; but we don't want to win badly
enough to put ourselves on professional
basis by making athletics means of live
lihood." He read a message telling of ''the
victory for purity in athletics in the recent
decision giving the state meet to the uni
versity" 1--WE want to win,' lie said, "but
we don't to win badly enough to resort to
any unfair play"
President MacLean closed his address by
presenting each of the new professors and
instructors, who responded briefly to the
applause at mention of their names. The
different classes and departments, by invi-
tation of the president, unbottled their yelIs
and the meeting closed with an outburst of
good feeling. Every student in the univer-
sity is a friend to President MacLean.

Suggestion for High school Site.
l. N. FliclSinger. one Of the attorneys who
has been most prominent in pushing the
fight against the Oakland avenue site for
the new High school building, suggested
yesterday that the board purchase the Bal
lard property directly west of the Grand
hotel on First avenue as being about the
most central location in the city. This
property is at present the subject of liti-
CATION between the heirs of the late Mrs.
Sarah j. Ballard, but Mr. Flckinger stated
that he was given to understand that the
heirs would be willing to make the title
good The money would have to be paid
into court and the heirs could then fight
over that
The property in question is 150x192 feet
and 1t is said that the heirs would be will
ing to let 1t go for $4,000. In connection
with this 1t has been suggested by some
that the city build public library In con-
Junction with the High school on this site
The law permits a city with population
of over $4,000 to levy tax for the purpose
of erecting a public library. The last CEN
sus did not give this city $4,000 population,
but 1T Is contended that the new census
will show over $4,000 inhabitants.
AS to the board applying for a writ Of
certiorari in the district court to test the
correctness of the decision Mr.. Flickinger
says that is all nonsense. The district court,
he claims, has no jurisdictior in such cases,
as the courts have always held that the de-
partment of public instruction Is the proper
tribunal to try such matters and has i-e-
quently refused to entertain similar ques-
tions. Mr.. Flicknger stated further that
he was not in favor of any particular site
and that so far in the litigation he has paid
all his own expenses and has net received
a dollar from any one. He thinks the men,
bers of the school board should get together
amicably and select some site south of
Broadway and west OF Main street.
