GENEROUS GIFT EXPECTED,
University of Chicago Looking (
John ID. Rockefeller


CHICAGO, March 1S.-University of Chica-
go professors are expecting President Har-
per to announce another big gift from the
friend of the university, John D. Rockefel-
ler, when he makes his quarterly statement
at the close Of Minister Wu Ting Fang's
speech at the convocation tomorrow after
noon An unofficial statement by one of
the professors is to the effect that the in
come which so far has been provided for
the running expenses of the proposed Mrs
Emmons Blaine school of pedagogy would
not be sufficient, and that it would take a
generous sum from the Golfers of the uni
verstys founder to make up the deficiency
1t is estimated that it will require $780,
600 annually to meet the expenses of the
pedagogical school, OF this amount the
gifts of Mrs. Blaine will provide S25 600.
Tuition fees will make up a part of the
balance, but not all, so it is claimed.

Mr.. Rockefeller has been solicited, and it

ouSly to the need.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY SANGER.
He Took Active Charge of His Office
Today,

Assistant Secretary Sanger of the War
Department has returned from a brief
visit to New York where he went to close
up some private business, and took active
charge of his new Office this morning. He
said that he had not announced any policy
the fact being that he had not had time
to fully consider his new duties and de-
eide upon a definite plan of action. He
said that he would like it understood in
the beginning that he was simply the as
sistant to the secretary, and that it would
be his duty to execute policies formulate ed
by the head of the department and not to
make policies of his own. Although he
was naturally interested in the civil SER
vice of the department, it was he said
mistake to assume that he had already
concluded to recommend any changes in
the system of keeping the efficiency rec
ords and determining the classes to which
clerks should be assigned
