Augustana Jubilee and Raising
of Big Fund.

President G.. A. Andreen of Angus
tana college may leave that institution
i'm another year. TO take chair at the
Iowa university In fact it is under
stood that his decision has been prac-
iically made. and that he will leave
the college here at the end of the next
year. Dr. Andreen was offered the
chair of Germanic and Scandinavian
languages at Iowa City, and the posi-
ton is one that is attractive. 1t pays
salary considerably in advance OF
that at Augustana college.

Dr. Andreen, on receiving the tempt

work in raising the $250,000 fund for
| the college in connection with the
jubilee, he could not at the present
time accept the place at Iowa City, al
/ though under other circumstances he
might consider the offer.

The reply of the university indicates
how anxious the authorities are TO add
the Rock Island educator TO the uni.
Iversity faculty. DR.. Andreen was in.
formed that his declination was re-
ceived with regret. but that the offer
would still hold good at the end of the
year. when Dr. Andreen will have com
lpleted his big work at Augustana. and
lmay feel free TO sever his connections

DR.. Andreen has been president al
Augustana for number of years, com
