OFFERED PRESIDENCY
CLINTON COLLEGE?
DIR. w. j. Martin, of David.
son College.
ONE OF THE PILLOWS
OF DAVIDSON COLLEGE

DR.. Martin Has the Matter under Con.
sideration and will Give an Answer
within Few Days-Strong Efforts
will be Made to Hold Him Mt Pres.
ent Post of Duty.
The trustees of the Presbyterian
College of South Carolina held meet
ing last week, the object of which
was to elect a president of the col
lege. The trustees asked DR.. w. j.
Martin of Davidson College, to be-
come the president of the college in
swer. No intimation has been given
that he will accept. His answer is en-
pected within day or two.
The trustees of the college decided
some time ago that or. Martin would
be good man for the presidency and
they decided to ask him to accept the
office. He was asked about the mat
ter and agreed to come to Clinton
and look over the field. This week
DR.. Martin met with the trustees
of the college in Clinton and the con
dition of things was fully mapped out.
The Office was offered to DR.. Martin
and he was asked to accept. He agreed
to consider the matter for a few days
and give the trustees an answer. His
answer is expected within day or
two.
Dr. Martin is professor of chem
istry In Davidson College at David
out the Carolinas, and especially in
the Piedmont section. Dr. Martin is
one of the leading members of the
Davidson faculty, and is a man uni
versally liked and respected. He is
intelligent and business like and
is considered one of the pillows of
Davidson College. The North Caro-
lima school will doubtless put up a
fight before agreeing to give him up
The Presbyte rian College of South
Carolina has been without a presi-
dent since last June. DR. Robert
Adams was president for several
years. being elected on the death OF
President Neville. DR.. Adams was
president for three years Since his
resignation last June, DIR. ADAMS has
been pastor of the Presbyterian
church al Blackstock.
The trustees of the college have
heen making efforts to secure pres
ident since June and several names
have been suggested and considered
Professor Spencer has been acting
president since the Office was left va
cant.
The trustees feel that DR.. Martin
would make a good president aDt
they are in great hopes that he will
accept the office. AS strong influences
will probably be used by the David
son authorities to keep MIN there as
are being used to bring him to South
Carolina. Dr. Martin is well known
in South Carolina.
