Special to Times-Republiean.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City. Aug 1.-The Memorial
University Of the Sons of Veterans is
in high feather over securing for its
president for the ensuing, and it is
hoped, subsequent years, Frederick
Deming Tucker, who comes from the
| University of Minnesota, where he has
been the head of the department Of
agriculture for the past three years
with great success.
| The board of trustees believe they
have made great find in the new
president, who is most flatteringly en-
dorsed by President Northrup of the
Minnesota State University. He has j
fine personality which at once COM
mends him and also all the elements
of "old business" that force the con-
viction of his practical knowledge of
things and affairs as we'll as his in
formation CLEANED from books. He is
the third college president whom Pres
ident Northrup has recommended.
The new head Of the Memorial Uni
versity is but 80 years old and has
the splendid physique and health 10
match his vigorous mentality. He is
a Massachusetts man, taking first his
preparatory course at Phillips Acad-
envy, Andover, and completing the
classical course at Yale. In 1892 the
year he graduated he came west and
was a member of the faculty for two
years of Washington University, st.
Louis, and then took a post graduate
course at the Chicago University and
the Chicago Seminary where he i'm
bibed his theology. He turned aside
from the educational work for the min
istry for four and half years and
served in the Congregational pulpit at
Morris. ILL.,, where his discourses were
noted for breadth of thought and ele-
gance OF oratory. He resumed his ed
vocational work when DR.. Northrup
called him to the head of the agricul-
tural department. Of the State Unlvers-
ity Of Minnesota. In three years he
has increased the attendance AZ per
cent and the efficiency in like proper
ton.
