LOGAN May 6.-John A. Widtsoe the
newly elected president OF the Agricul-
tural college. is in Logan, Widtsoe came
in on the train last night and held a
protracted meeting with such members
of the college faculty as are to serve
under his regency. Such members of
the present faculty as Professors Jen-
sen. Ostien and Cotey. whose service ter
inmates in July. were not Invited. The
meeting was not held at the college. but
in the rooms OF the Commercial club. 1t
was a star chamber affair, restricted by
invitation.
The order of business consisted of the
reading of the recent manifesto by the
college board, outlining the future policy
of the institution, and an address by
Mr.. Widtsoe. In his statements Widtsoe
OF hts administration will not be restrict
I've. but aggressive. In other words the
incoming administration will pursue a
policy OF expansion, the purpose being
TO make the work OF the college more
comprehensive and effective than has
ever been done. II has been supposed
that the new administration purposed re-
strIcting the work of the college to a
narrow policy. in order to meet the
wishes OF certain Clamorous politicians,
but now President Widtsoe announces
policy. so as 10 make of this one of the
greatest agricultural colleges IN the coun-
try.
The report is current that Mr.. Widt-
soc has said IL his plans can go into
effect. within five years the institution
viii have a student body OF quite 1000
instead Of a possible present 700. 1t Is
reported that President Widtsoe has said
that political and religious factors must
be banlShod from the college or he will
resign a strange fact bearing on this
point Is that one of the new trustees is
alleged TO have said that the whole trou-
he at the Agricultural college In the past
has been due 10 the presence OF too many
Gentiles in the faculty and that he pro-
poses 10 solve the difficulty by the elm
inaton OF this class.
So far s can be ascertalned, instruct
ors have not yet been found TO take the
places made vacant by the removal of
Professor Ostien and Professor Cotey.
\ rumor is afloat TO the effect that Pro
partment of domestic arts is TO he filled
by Mrs. Susa Young Gates who Is a
member OF the board. and also mother
in-la~ OF President Widtsoe Some here
earnestly deny the possibility OF any such
contamination, but others wink shlug
the shoulders and say: Just wait and
sec" TWO years ago the same thing
was mooted, and many believed Mrs
Gates would secure the prize, especially
ii her son law could have landed the
presidency. His failure. by the intervcu-
tlon or President Mccormick put a
quietus on everything, and Professor
Cotey was allowed TO go on in her eff
Cient management: Of the department.
