SHELDON AT HEAD
OF new SCHOOL
FORMER PRESIDENT OF SIMPSON
is SAID TO BE CONCERNED
IN NEW PLAN.

Des Moines, Feb IA well found
Charles Eldred Shelton, who recently
resigned as president of Simpson col
lege at Indianola, with the movement
to purchase Highland Park college and
convert it into a Methodist university,
has gained currency.
At the same time there is consider
cradle discussion as to the probable
successor to DR.. Shelton and it is I'M
derstood that the board of trustees of
the college will consider securing DR..
E. l.. Eaton, former pastor of the First
Methodist Episcopal church of Des
Moines, for the vacancy. Dr. Eaton is
now pastor of a church in Chicago.
Whether DIR. Shelton has taken an
active part in promoting the plant to
convert Highland Park college into a
university backed by the Methodist
church, the source of the information
did not state, but it is known that he
has been considered for the presidency
in case the deal goes through.
That it will cause a great deal of
bad feeling in the Des Moines confer
ence, is well known. The conference
has spent thousands of dollars in
building up Simpson college, and will
be slow to back movement which
will mean a death blow to the school,
Hundreds of alumni of the institl.,
ton reside in the conference and most
OF them are opposed to the idea be-
cause of sentimental reasons. 1t is
known. also, that Indianola is prepar-
ing to fight the idea of establishing a
university in Des Moines because OF
the effect on the future of the town.
Not only will the proposition be
fought by the trustees and friends Of
Simpson college, but it is understood
that every Methodist college in the
state will oppose it. Cornell and Simp.
son, 1t is claimed, will be hit the hard
est because of their proximity to Des
Moines. But Morningside at Sioux
City, Upper Iowa university at Fay.

ant do not look with favor on the plan
it is said.
/ Another reason why the Des Mones
conference will oppose the plan is that
large sum of money has just been
raised to lift the debt outstanding
against the college, which is now prac
tically free from incumbrance
Eaton May Take School.
Relative to successor to DR. Shell.
lton 1t is known that DR.. Eaton has
been approached on the subject. A
prominent pastor in the Des Moines
conference, and an alumnus of Simp
son college, spoke to Dr. Eaton on
the subject recently, and he admitted
that he would like to become head OF
the institution.
