1t is understood among the Boston
and New York alumni OF Norwich
university Mortified, that Allan ID.
Brown, president OF Norwich univer-
sity, will resign his position at the
coming commencement on account OF
poor health. President Brown has
been at the head of the institution
since November, 1896. IL is said that
the New York alumni want an officer
OF the army or navy for president.
One of the great points brought up at
the recent meeting in Boston was that
an endowment fund for the institution
should be raised and it should be one
OF the duties OF the new executive TO
see that this money is raised while the
country is enjoying prosperity. The
Boston alumni is eager to see n. l..
sheldon, well known Boston attor-
ney, succeed Mr.. Brown. Mr.. Sheldon
is trustee of Norwich university and
was graduated from that institution in
1884 He was born in Stockbridge
forty-two years ago. Mr.. Sheldon was
OF the Norwood High school
near Boston for six years before be-
coming a lawyer. When the matter
was suggested to Mr.. sheldon he was
reluctant to make any statement but
inally said, 81 am not seeking the
place"
