CHANGES IN TWO EDUCATIONAL INsTI-
TUTIONs.
The trustees of the Baptist Female
University of this city have elected
Rev. John E. White President of
that institution to succeed DR.. James
c. Blasingame, resigned. Mr.. White
has for the past five years been the
Corresponding Secretary Of the Bap-
list State Mission Board. He was
several years pastor Of the church at
EdentOn and at the same time Super
intendent of Public Schools of
ChOwan county. He was, also, for
two or three years Principal of Mars
Hill Academy, Madison Co. Mr..
White is everywhere recognized as
one of the ablest young Baptists in
the State, u good business man, a
successful worker, and an excellent
speaker. 1t is thought that he will
accept the position rendered him.
And President Alderman, of our
State University, has rendered his
resignation to the Board of Trustees.
He accepts the Presidency of Tulane
University, of Louisiana. Tulane
has nearly twice as many students
as u University and pays it's Presi-
dent more than twice as much. DR..
Alderman has many friends in this
State who regret to see him leave us
and thousands of those that do not
know him personally feel the loss
that the State sustains. Friends of
Dr.. Charles d. McIver are urging
that he be named as DR.. Alderman's
successor. Others spoken of in this
connection are: DR.. Paul B. Barrin-
ger, of the University of Virginia
DIR. Richard H. Lewis, of Raleigh,
Prof. J. Y. Joyner, of Greensboro,
Judge Clark and K. P. Battle.
Whoever may be selected for this
important position he cannot 10 bet
ter than to keep in mind these
words from DIR. Alderman:
L have an ideal for this Univer-
sity. .Mydesire would have it place
where there is always a breath of
freedom in the air where a sound
and various learning is taught heart
lily without sham O pretense where
the life and the teachings of Jesus
furnish forth the ideal of right living
and true manhood; where manners
are gentle, and ~cOurtesies daily null
tiply between teacher and taught;
where all classes and conditions and
beliefs are welcome and men may
rise, in earnest striving by the might
of merit where wealth is no DreiU-
dice and poverty no shame where
honorable labor, even rough labor of
the hands, is glOrifed by high pur-
pose and strenuous desire for the
clearer air and the larger view
where there is will to serve all high
ends of Il State struggling up out of
ignorance into general power where
men are trained to observe closely.
to imagine wildly, to reason accu-
rately, and to have about them some
humility and some liberation where,
finally, Truth, shining patiently like
a star, bids us advance, and we will
not turn aside"
1t is not surprising that President
Alderman, labOring for an ideal so
and honorable, and yet so prac-
ticable, has been called to "a position
offering still greater opportunities
for usefulness.
