I'm other States. and I'm arousing the
pride of the people OF Florida in its
behalf to the end that IL may secure
an ample patronage representative OF
all parts of the State. But adequate
scholarship and learning should go
with executive ability, and these two
in combination should control the stu

or preference In favor OF any particu-
lar individual Il is a matter Of large
importance TO the educational inter
ests Of Florida 20 have the right man
at the head OF the State University.
for he who occupies that position is
sure 90 impress his individuality upon
the school either beneficially or other
wise, as is clearly shown by every
prominent institution Of learning in
America. We have heard no COM

Oak Democrat.
The Sun regrets TO say that the gen.
eral sentiment Of the people of Gaines
vile Is that DR.. Sledd is not the right |
man for the head OF the State Uni
And this sentiment is not |
confined TO Gainesville; the editor has
heard the same sentiment expressed |
by leading citizens from every section
Of the State.
Personally. DIR. Sledd is a fine gentle
man, and is universally esteemed for
his noble traits OF character. but he
has signally failed TO make Of the
University what was and Is expected
Of IT, Possibly the people expect too
much, but they are at least entitled to
better results than have so far been
obtained.
The Pensacola News has correctly
stated the situation: A man Is need
I'd at the head Of the University who
has demonstrated his ability to do
things" Dr. Murphree is such man.
and II he can be prevailed upon TO
take the presidency OF the University
the Board OF Control should lose no
time In calling him 90 the chair.
