TRAITS OF PRESIDENT
OF VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY
Story Told of His Recoil Against
Dingy Offices in College
Building.

''The fact that the University of Vir-
ginia has secured a president and has
left off its former loose method of self
government will insure the Institutions S
retaining foremost place among the
colleges and universities of the South"
This assertion was made to a Times
reporter today by a prominent alumnus
Of the Virginia university. who was seen
in the lobby of the Raleigh. He was
speaking particularly of the way In
which the result has justified the good
sense of the governors of the university
in determining to select a president for
the institution He intimated, however.
that the university had been particu-
larly fortunate in securing President

first president.
Would Change Offices.
Illustrating the forcefulness of the
man and the broad gauge on which he
conducts his affairs, the alurnnus told
the following story:
When Dr.. Alderman first came to the
university and was being shown
through the Offices and buildings there.
Colonel Carter, superintendent of the
buildings and grounds, took him into
the rooms that for years had been used
by the chairman of the faculty as his
principal Offices
Colonel. do you mean to tell me that
these little rooms have been used by the
head of the University of Virginia as
otfices?' asked Alderman in astonish-
ment.
- Yes; that is true

And this Is where prominent men.
in visiting the university, have seen the
chairman

L shall change this. l will transform
into large. roomy offices the house
which YOU have assigned to me as a
dwelling. and l will build a residence
for myself. -
The alumnus told this story, explain
ing. however, that the offices referred to
were considered very good. sufficiently
large. and suited to the purposes for
which they were used. But he Thought
