ROOSEVELT WILL Be
OFFERED POSITION
May Become President Of Min
nesOta University.

Minneapolis, Aug 10.-Theodore
Roosevelt will probably be offered the
presidency of the University Of Min
nesota to succeed DR. Cyrus Northrop,
following meeting of the board OF
regents to be held here. Chances for
his acceptance are regarded as good.
That more persistent effort to find
successor to the incumbent, who
offered his resignation about a year
ago, has not been made is regarded as
significant. 1t argues, according to re-
ports, that hopes of favorable an
swer from Roosevelt are teeming in
the ranks of the regents.
The plan in mind. it is said, is to
offer the presidency of the state uni
versity TO Colonel Roosevelt upon his
arrival in the Twin Cities Sept. 8,
when he comes as a guest of the Ma
tional Conservation congress. The
former president takes breakfast at
Minneapolis The offer will be made
at this time and his acceptance urged.
Colonel Roosevelt declared he would
take the matter under advisement
when the presidency of the university
was offered him on a previous occa-
sion That was just prior to his start
for Africa a year ago last spring in
quest of big game.
Governor John A Johnson, at the
head of a delegation of citizens from
Minnesota, called upon Colonel Roose-
welt and offered him the place that
would be made vacant upon the re-
tirement of DR.. Northrop. He an
Swered then he would not be open to
any proposition until after his return
from abroad, but he would take the
proposal under advisement and give
an answer after his return. ....
That he has his answer. prepared
and that it will be an acceptance is
believed by some.
