ANDREWS WILL
WITHDRAW, SAYS
PROF. N. NJ. FOGG

According to Prof NJ NJ. Fogg OF the
University of Nebraska Dr. T. Benjamin
Andrews intends soon to withdraw from
the duties of chancellor OF the University
of Nebraska.
Prof. Fogg says that DIR. Andrews does
not desire TO affirm or deny the truth OF
the report that he has already sent in
his letter OF resignation.
Prof. Fogg was formerly in the rhetoric
department at Brown and has always
been \ warm friend and admirer OF Chan
cellor Andrews Prof. Fogg left Brown
at about the same time that Prof. La
mont left the college faculty, the latter
TO become editor of the New York Eve
ming Post. Later he went TO the Univer-
sity OF Nebraska to accept a chair In the
department of rhetoric.
Notwithstanding the chancellor's ST.
lence regarding his withdrawal, SAID
Prof. Fogg last evening, there is among
members OF the faculty in position 10
know an understanding that the Andrews
administration is soon to come TO an end,
probably at the end OF this year. one or
the deans is authority for the statement
that the chancellors resignation has been
in the hands OF the board of regents for
some time, 10 be accepted When IL nnus
his successor.
'Dr. Andrews coming withdrawal Is
caused by III health. although n certain
element In Nebraska politics has never
been fond OF him since 1901, when, with
changing facts. he changed publicly and
modified his views on the silver question
The same element attacked him for ac-
cepting s66 900 from John ID. Rockefeller
toward the Temple the home or the re-
lgious and social organizations OF the
university
YWhile his recent declaration against
wholesale condemnation of the rlch, as
such dspleascd many Nebraskans. yet
the chancellor is, as ever. full master OF
the situation His position is his as long
ns he wishes. 1t is known that he sug-
gested Withdrawing from the chancellor
ship last spring. but the regents would
not hear of IT, Instead. they gave him a
vacation. which he took 10 Europe until
the middle OF October
Or Andrews physicians advised him
last year to cease working at top speed
but his characteristic wish to stay in tho
harness has kept him In the chancellor
ship. although the regents have prevailed
on him TO rolinqush this year many de-
tails OF administration.
"Dr Andrews is GA years old today
This is his eighth year as the head of tho
university, one year less than he was
president of Brown, and IL Is his 2lst year
as a college president. In the past eight
years the University. OF Nebraska has
grown 80 per cent from 1000 to 5000 stu
dents.
"Apparently Dr. Andrews intends TO re-
main at Lincoln, the university seat at-
ter he retires, for he recently purchased
and is now occupying house here.

they held their former superintendent .
Mr.. Potter was born In Manton, but the

as the superintendent. After a long. hon.
orable and active career he resigned to
enjoy tho fruits OF his well-earned labors

sition, and always ready TO lend helping
hand TO the unfortunate. He was very
sympathetic. and none will miss him
more than those to whom he gave OF his
means with unostentatious liberality. lie
