he comes to the Kansas position, it
is said that Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson will order the horse breeding
experiments transferred to Manhattan
Kan, SO that Prof. Carlyle may con-

1t seems that the Colorado Agricul-
tural college is having much the same
kind of fuss that has been brews
ing at the Kansas Agricultural college.
Prof. Carlyle took up his work at the
Colorado school at time wnen agri-
culture was in disrepute there, Just
as it now seems to be somewhat in
the shade at Manhattan. The agri-
cultural end of the institution was
much run down. Prof. Carlyle built
it up greatly, and made agriculture one
of the big things at the institution.
1t is said that he is out of harmony
with President Aylesworth of the Colo
RADIO school, and has determined to
lyle quits, there are four other lead
ing professors in the agricultural de-
partment who will go out with him
Professors Olin. Knorr, Banner and
Morton. Prof. Carlyle is said to be at
Manhattan this week investigating
the offer which has been made to him.
The Denver Republican says in
speaking of Prof. Carlyle's proposed
removal:
It is reported that Prof w. L. Car
lyle, dean Of agriculture at the Agri-
cultural college, has received an offer
from the state of Kansas to become
director of the Kansas experiment sta
ton and that the government horse
breeding experiment at Fort Collins
is to moved to Kansas in case Prof.
Carlyle accepts. Prof. Carlyle is re-
ported to be in Kansas investigating
the new position and may accept I'M

tory manner. If. Prof. Carlyle leaves
Fort Collins it is claimed that prac-
tically all of the agricultural faculty,
Including Prof. DIN. Prof. Knorr. Prof.
Banner and Prof. Morton will also re-
sign.
The leaving of Prof. Carlyle will be
directly due to an unfortunate fac
tional fight in the faculty OF the IN
stitution. said to be growing out of the
competition between the various oe-
partments of the college. When Prof.
CARLYLE came to Fort Collins the agri-
cultural department existed principal
ly in name He took hold vigorously
and succeeded in making it one of the
leading departments. Carlyle is vice
president of the Fort Collins Chamber
of commerce, a prominent official OF
the fair association and very popular
Prof Carlyle claims that there has
been an organized conspiracy by Pres
ident AyIesworth to run Carlyle out OF
the institution and that his situation
there has been made so uncomfortable
that he could do nothing but resign.
1t is understood that Secretary Will
son will raise no objections to the NOV
ing of the experiment station If Car
LYLE goes. as he desires Prof. Carlyle
to complete the work he has COM
