Many of the younger eXiles are ex-
pected to join the army in the far

no small undertaking, and it may be
months before eXpatriates in remote

mund ]. James, of Northwestern uni
versity, yesterday afternoon was elect
ed to the presidency of the University
of Illinois to fill the vacancy created
by the resignation of DR.. a. S. Draper.
Before taking this action the trus-
tees were reasonably certain that
President James would accept. To in
duce him to take the Office they offered
crease of $500 over the amount other
heads of the Illinois institution have
received. 1t is said that. as an extra
inducement, the trustees may vote TO
pay him $4,000 for his services.

At the same time he was notified of
his election late yesterday afternoon
President James was invited by Chair
man Nightingale, of the board of trus-
tees TO confer with that body next
Friday. 1t is quite probable that the
head of the big Methodist university
already has wired his acceptance of
the invitation, and that at the confer
ence he will formally accept.
The announcement of the election
caused fiutter of excitement among
the trustees of the Northwestern uni
versity. They realized that the choice
would not have been made without
some understanding that President
James would take the office.
