DR.. w. l.. Carlyle, acting president O
the University Of Idaho, returned tt
Moscow this morning from a three
weeks trip through the east in the
interest Of the university. From Mos
cow DR.. Carlyle went direct to Wash.
ington, D. c. where he attended the
annual meetings of the Association Of
American Colleges and Experiment
stations and of the Association o.
Presidents of American State Univer-
stiles. While in the national capital he
spent considerable time in consultation
with Idaho's representatives in con-
gress as to the needs of the univer-
sity experiment station which is CO.
operating with the United States de-
partment of agriculture through sub
sations throughout the state.
"One thing in particular" said DR..
Carlyle, with which l was greatly i'm
pressed at Washington was the mani
fest devotion to duty which was dis
played by the men who are represent
ing Idaho at national capital. Every
one of them was at his post and was
more than willing to assist me in eve
ry way possible in getting the needs
of the university before the depart
ment of agriculture"
The work that is being done in the
lines of agriculture experimentation at
the university and particularly that in
the department of forestry is attracting
wide attention, says DR.. Carlyle, and
he government department of agricul-
ture is ready to assist in the further
ance of the work. DR.. Donk of the
bureau of chemistry has been secured
to assist Professor Shattuck with the
forest by-products experiments adm
will arrive in Moscow in the near fu-
lure to assume his duties,
From Washington Dr. Carlyle went
% Chicago where he spent day in
business matters relating to the uni
From Chicago he went to
Winnipeg to attend the formal inaug-
lration of DR.. James A. MacLean as
irst president of the University of
Ianitoba. The Inauguration ceremonies
covered a period of two days and were
Ittended by many of the most prom
lent educators of the United States be-
ides the most gorgeously robed gov
rnment officials of the Dominion. The
ceremonies were far diff
erent, said DR.. Carlyle, than anything
yer seen in the United States and |
yere a brilliant tribute to the esteem |
4 which the ex-president of the Uni
ersity of Idaho is held by the Canad-
IN people.
DR.. Carlyle was greatly impressed
y the equipment of the University of
[anitoba and by the great loyalty of
le Canadian people to that institution.
The agricultural department of that
reat institution, which, though under
separate head from the university
roper is located on the same campus,
one of the most wonderful equipped
lstitutions that I ever saw" said Dr.
arlyle. Three millions of dollars
ere appropriated for the use of this
,llege in agricultural experimentation
ork in the past two years.
While in the east DR.. Carlyle spent
,nsiderable time with DR.. Edward
Sisson, state commissioner of edu
ltion, who has been east for the past
x weeks searching for a suitable +
an with whom to intrust the presi : 6
,ncy of the University of Idaho. AS :
It, said DR.. Carlyle, he has not been +
ccessful in his search and it is quite !
obable that the university will con- \
lue without a head for some time.
;. Sisson will visit Chicago and sew i
al other eastern and middle western
ints before returning to Boise. 1t =
not thought that he has any one
finitely in mind for the Idaho pres i
,ncy at this time. q
