WANT WESTERNER
Farmers OF Illinois Interested in
Successor TO President
Draper
AT THE STATE UNIVERSITY
Hope to See More Interest Taken in
College of Agriculture
in Future.

The farmers of central Illinois who
have taken an interest in the college
Of agriculture al the University of
Illinois. have decided TO use their in
iuencc for the election of some man
rs president of the university who will
give the agricultural school more at
rention that it got from DR.. Draper,
who has just resigned.
An organized effort in this direction
has been started. The farmers viii not
advocate the election of any one man
1ut will urge upon the trustees the
necessity and advisabiiity of select
ny a friend Of the agriculturalist a.
lead Of the institution. No criticism
8 offered of Dir. Draper. whose merits
ini abilities are recognized among all
.lasScS. but The farmers declare he
mas not taken Is kindly to the college
# agriculture as they think he should
have and as n result il has not de
veloped rs it should. considering the
Importance of the work undertaken
and the vast agricultural interests OF
Illinois.
Indifferent. Not Hostile
No specific charge of unfriendliness
i made against DR.. Draper by these
gentlemen. but general Indifference
rather than antagunism to the scECo!
is alleged. The proposition to 90 very
far from home for president Is not
looked upon with favor by the farmer
organizations who are asking this con-
sideration at the hands of the bcar,,
Of trustees.
They say the election of an eastern
man i almost sure to bring in one
hostile TO the school of agriculture,
for the simple reason that such man
would come from country not giving
to, farming and stock reising. but de-
voted To the classics and the higher
forms Of literature. art and science
There is hostility to agricultural col
leges among the eastern educators.
The farmers also contend that the
new president of this institution
should come from the upper Missis-
-ippi valley for the other reason that
he should he in sympathy with west
eru ways and needs.
For the vacancy a number of Hi
nois educators have been suggested.
Or. John W. Cook. Of the De Kalb Nor
NAL. meets with much favor. because
Of his executive ability. Mr.. Cook |
stands very high among the educators
Of the United States and his success i'm !
