Iowa City, April Professor Charles
Noble Gregory, associate dean of the
college of law of the University Of Wis
consin, left Iowa City yesterday. hav-
ing spent two days here as the guest of
President MacLean. While here he had
business conferences with the board OF
regents and the law committe of the
board. He was carefully guarded from
reporters during the whole Of his stay.
On the train leaving for Chicago he was
seen. He said that at the wish of Pres
ident MacLean and the board of re-
gents he would have to refuse to dis
cuss the deanship Of the college OF law.
II have simply been paying little
visit here to President MacLean and my
friends on the board, he said. You.
know the committee of the board paid
me a visit in Madison and / am simply
returning 1t.
Yes, that visit was connected with
the deanship of the college of law. I do
rot know when the final announcement
of the deanship matter will be made but
presume it will be made very shortly.
had a very nice visit with President
MacLeans and the board OF regents and
Everything that have seen in connec-
ton with the university has been very
favorable. I do not have practice Of
law in Madison, devoting myself to the
duties of the associate deanship entire.
ly. Your board of regents seems to be
very much awake to the needs of the
college OF law and are willing to deal
generously with it,"
Does not the visit that you have paid
to Iowa City, the business consultations
and the secrecy exercised concerning
your utterances rather show that Won
have been offered the deanship OF the
college OF law, professor? Are you not
now considering the matter?"
guess 1t does show something. but
4 cannot discuss it." was the reply.
Professor Gregory is member of the
| Wisconsin board of control and was
very willing to discuss athletics. 81 do
not know just what we will do in base
ball this spring, ne said. For my own
part, would like to see base ball
cropped altogether. 1t is not college
sport primarily, The largest games
are professional. The temptation to be-
come professionals and waste their
lives, or the best part of them in pro-
fessional base ball team is great. The
large salaries paid by the big ,rofes-
4 sional mines constitute menace TO
amateur athletics OF the same kind The
students OF the University Of Wisconsin
have voted. however, to continue the
base ball team, and 1t has been run A
college can gain no honor in maintain
ing base ball team. 1t seems to me and
great deal ct honor can be lost in hav-
ing one. Wisconsin has gained nothing
| from her team and has lost u great deal
of reputation with it. The place that is
OCCUPIED by base ball as a means Of ex-
ercise is much better filed by track
| athletics, which are better because of
their purer associations also.
The University of Wisconsin has
spent a great deal of money in main
tanning a crew. but we have always
come out Of the races with eastern coll
leges second and but for an accident
would have won once So long as we do
compete creditably with the crews of
the eastern colleges, we feel that the
expenditure is worth it. We represent
not only one western university in these
boat races but all of them in a sense
as we are the only western college COM
peting. The annual races. have brought
pleasure and renown.''
do you expect to be in Iowa City
again, Professor" was the parting
question.
II certainly hope to- It is charm
ing place and enjoyed 1t and my visit
very much" said Professor Gregory.
