Pres MAGICIAN
NOT BIG ENOUGH
Board Goes On Record As Opposed To
\ Lobbyins--ls Willing To Give the
+ General Assembly Detailed In.
q, formation About Institutions.

Cedar Rapids, Feb. Special: The
board of education has issued the fol
lowing statement relative to the resig,
nation of President MacEean: There
still seems to be some discussion in
the newspapers relative to MacLean's
resignation. There ought to be nc
more controversy over this matter.
President MacLean says he resigned
by request, and the board is perfect.
ly willing that the public should un.
derstand 1t that way.
THE reasons for President Mac
Leans resignation came out in the
course of a meeting which took place
last week at the capital between the
board and a joint committee of the
general assembly. At this meeting
reasons for calling for the resigna-
tons of MacLean and Of Storms of
Ames, were frankly set forth.
The assembly committee was told
the designations were called for be-
cause neither of these college execu
tives was able to deal with the situa
ton at their respective institutions.
They were informed that there was
nothing personal in either case; that
the board simply desired TO bring a
situation in these great schools that
would be at once harmonious and ben
eficial."
This statement has the unanimous
approval of the board, as has also the
following with respect to the demand
for 100000 appropriation for short
course work and forbidding lobbying
on the part of faculty members.
Another matter discussed was tho
progress of extension work at Ames.
The general assembly committee was
informed that the board intended to
do justice to all interests, and after
careful investigation it was decided to
ask the legislature for total of $42,-
900 for short course work, this being
an increase of IS per cent over the
last amount and larger increase than
had been recommended in any other
department of any institution. The
joint committee was informed that the
board as we'll as the members of the
faculties held themselves in readi-
ness to give the general assembly de-
tailed information as to the needs OF
the institutions, but that the board
had not asked nor did it Countenance
the maintenance of lobby of profess
sors or others to urge appropriations
for any institutions or departments"
