WANT DIR. BURTON
University Regents Will Ask Him to
Head English Department.. =

Agitation for the return Of Dr.. Rich
ard Burton as head Of the English de-
partment at the university has been re-
vived, and at the next meeting Of the
board of regents it is probable that
the question Of again securing Dr.. Bur
ton as member Of the university fac
ulty will be considered. At present
DR.. Burton is combining himself to lee
ture and literary work and it is not
considered probable, that he would re-
turn to Minnesota to take charge Of
the literary department..
The recent resignation Of DR.. Nc
Clumpha and the absence Of Professor
Frances B. Potter and Miss Mary Peck,
two Of the popular English instructors
who are spending the year in Europe,
has severely handicapped the work of
the English department. and at present
the teaching in the department is be.
ing done by Oscar Firkins, Leroy Ar
mold and Arthur Upson, all of whom
rank as instructors. AS a result there
is no professor or assistant professor OF
English in the university.
