ARRANGING TO RECEIVE ROOSEVELT
fFrom a stan Correspondent

Members OF the DOaTu Oh luslees VI NV
Iowa State college held an informal meet
ing here and steps were taken to find out
whether or not 1t would be possible to In
duce President Thompson Of the Ohio State
college at Columbus to accept the presi-
dency of the Iowa State college at Ames.
The committee on presidency Of the board
Of trustees has been making an investiga-
tlon Of President Thompson and members
have reached the conclusion that he Is the
right man for the head of the Iowa college
and the only question Is whether or not he
could be induced to come TO Iowa. He has
been at the head Of the college at Columbus
only a few years, succeeding DR.. Garfield,
but has made a great reputation as an ed
ucator. The committee has not been able
to agree on anyone as yet and at present
the negotiations are confined to President
Thompson. Some of the trustees are in
favor Of the selection of DR.. A. B. Storms
Of this city as president at Ames. He Is
a finely educated man, a great speaker
and familiar with university work. but he
has not yet given consent to the use Of his
name. The effort to secure the election OF
Prof. Curtiss have not been relaxed, and
his friends believe he will yet be the presi-
dent Of the college.

Arrangements have all been completed for
the reception to the president at Des Moines
next Tuesday. He will have a drive OF six

secured for those who would ride with the
