Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, May 26.-As the resolu-
tons of the Davenport, Des Mones,
Fort Dodge and Sioux City alumni
each other university students, pro-
fessors and students are eagerly watch
ing for the next resolution. No pro-
fessor or regent will talk upon the mat

terest
While the attitude of the people in
Iowa City is one of interest in what
may be said against the president by
those who are conducting the campaign
against him, nothing is being done here.
Faculty. student and alumni meetings
have been held since the intention on
the part of some alumni to war against
the president became known. but moth
ing whatever has been done. AT facul-
ty meetings no reference is made to
the matter.
The last university assembly of the
year was held Wednesday morning.
Professors appeared and went upon
the platform amid respectful silence.
When at last Professor MacLean APP
peared there was general applause from
the crowded auditorium. President
MacLean's theme was the relations Of
the outgoing graduates to their univer-
sity, in which he told of the aims of
the State University of Iowa, and Of
it's ability to serve the people of the
state. THE State University Of Iowa"
said DR.. MacLean, lis university Of
the type OF Michigan and Kansas,
where there are strong agricultural and
normal institutions. but where engi-
neering is retained as part OF the uni
versity, and such duplication at the diff
ferent institutions as Is necessary to
serve the needs of each is maintained.
Michigan is the Oldest and strongest in
stitution OF the class. We hope that
as the State University of Iowa grows.
it will approach nearer and nearer to
Michigan"
In concluding DR.. MacLean thanked

The Iowa City alumni association
held meeting last Friday evening.
From first to last nothing was said
about the reported trouble at the uni
versity Professor B. F. Shambaugh
presided at the meeting. Judge Wade
made the only reference that could be
construed to refer to any trouble. The
Iowa City alumni association" he said,
has been lax in its membership. We
ought to have every alumnus out at
this meeting, instead of only twenty or
thirty. II the Iowa City alumni cannot
turn out to their meetings what alumni
should be expected to? We ought to
have large meeting and then we ought
to be all filled with a determination to
make the general alumni day of COM
mencement week mean something to
the returning alumni. We ought to be
glad hosts. We ought to have banners
and Welcomes hung in the streets.
We ought to have a very hearty inter.
