to the American state department
which resulted il, Mrs. Maybrick's law

coE COLLEGE EXTENDS a CALL.
Prof. VIM. Wiberforce Smith Asked
to Assume Presidency.

Cedar Rapids. Dec 27.-Professor
William Wherefore Smith, at present
head master of the Berkly school for
boys in New York city, was extended
a call to become president Of Coe coll
lege at meeting of the board OF trus-
tees Friday morning. The special COM
mittee consisting of DR.. e. r. Burk-
halter, George Douglas and G. ]. Dea-
con, have been searching for several
months for suitable person to take
the place left vacant by DR.. McCor-
mick last July. The committee was
unanimous in it's recommendation to
call Professor Smith and the board
adopted the recommendation.
Professor Smith is son of Rev. DR..
j. Erwin Smith, who was pastor Of
the Presbyterian church at Toledo for
a number of years. He is nephew OF
DR.. Sample, formerly pastor of the
Westminster church of Minneapolis, at
one time moderator of the general as
sembly of the Presbyterian church, and
now pastor in New York city. He Is
a graduate of Lafayette college,
1 Easton, Pa, and except for two years
spent in special study after graduation
he has been engaged in educational
old. He taught in the Laurenceyllle
school and organized and was at the
head Of the Englewood, N. j., school
for fourteen years. He was born In
} the west, but his life has been spent
, mostly in the east, where he has many
influential friends.
In thus calling layman to the head
of Coe, the trustees depart from pre-
! cedent, but not from the example sci
|. by the larger institutions of learning
: Professor Smith is a man of higf
Christian character, a Presbyterian
and thorough educator. The salar!
has not been fixed, but will be settlet
= by the executive committee OF the
trustees. Strong hopes are entertained
!, that Professor Smith will accept, al
4 though he has several times been OF
. fered the presidency of Presbyterian
:, colleges.
