Washington, July 3.-The Rev.
DR.. Stephen Morrell Newman.
retired minister of the Congrega-
tional Church, was elected presi-
dent of Howard University last
Friday at an adjourned meeting
of the board of trustees, which
lasted eight hours. All of the
trustees, except Cuno III. Ran
dolph were present. Chief JUS
tice Stanton j. Peele of the Court
of Claims presided. Though the
names of Prof. Kelley Miller, dean
of the college department of the
University, DR.. L. B. Moore, dean
of the Teachers College; Prof.
George W. Cook, secretary of the
university; Paul Barch, of the
Smithsonian Institution, and
Thomas Jesse Jones were among
these mentioned, tie election of
DR.. Newman is said to have been
unanimous. One factor that is
said to have determined the selec-
ton of DIR. Newman was the re-
puted desire of the retiring presi-
dent, Bishop Wilbur p. Thirkield,
to name Thomas Jesse Jones as
his successor. Professor Jones IS
a white man, and was formerly
connected with Hampton Institute.
He is now clerk in one of the
departments and is also lecturer
on sociology at the university. =
