Iowa City, March 25.-
Count that day lost whose SLOWED
scending sun
Sees no head shot off by Mr.. Trewin's
gun"
Paraphrasing the famous couplet,
everybody in Iowa City, discussing the
recent presidential explosion at Iowa
university, is voicing one rumor or
another that this or that educator is
to go. None Of these reports are in
dorsed at headquarters, however, and
none can be verified.
Two educators denied the stories.
One was non -commital.
|. Three deans were named as about to
leave. or as having sent in formal
resignation-Porf. Clark F.. Ansley,
dean Of the fine arts department.; Prof.
Of law; and Miss Mary Klinganhagen,
dean of women.
Professor Ansley. alleged to be
piqued because Prof. Gustav Schoettle,
of the allied department of music, was
cuss his reported resignation, and
thereby lent additional force to the
rumor.
Dean Dunn declared positively that
he had not resigned; wasn't planning
to resign; and hadn't had q clash with
the state board.
Miss Klingenhagen averred that she
had no intention Of resikntng, and had
no reason to do 30. Officials at the
university Endorsed the denials Of Pro-
lessor Dunn and Dean Klingenhagen.
but opinions are still strong in the
Ansley matter.
Senator Lambert Silent.
Senator Thomas Lambert, Of the
state board, is here today. He refuses
to discuss the presidential situation,
save as to statement that he does
not believe the board has any ,man in
mind yet as successor to DR.. Bow
man.
1t is believed the board of education
will meet in Iowa City soon, for the Sc
lection Of an acting president. Who he
is to be is the purest guess work thus
far in the "outer circles
Professor Sohosttie u No Gutter.
Prof. Gustav Schoettle, director of
the Iowa university Of music recently
deposed, is mo deserter." Despite the
fact that his term Of service ends
here, he is proceeding to plan for the
annual spring musical festival at Iowa
City. to be held in May. He has en-
gagged the old Theodore Thomas or
chestra. and will stage Mendelssohn's
| oratorio Hymn Of Praise" with sew
Grad hundred university Of Iowa and
Iowa City's voices in the chorus, just
as If nothing had happened. He wishes,
indeed. to make his last days at Iowa
university worthy. Of remembrance. he
AYERS. -
Blow to Bowman and Athletes.
Iowa university is to have no new
gymnasium. this year at'least. The ac-
ton of the Iowa state board of educa-
ton ordering $4,000 wing built in
1914 has been rescinded by the board
at recent meeting, held behind
closed DOORS" it is now authoratively
announced.
1t Is not known whether this re-
vocation bears on the presidential i'm
broglio or not. 1t is known, however,
that the new gym" was a favorite
enterprise Of DR.. John G. Bowman,
and that he secured the appropriation
and the order for the structure during
the period when he was in the good
graces Of the board, by using all Of the
influence he possessed with that body,
pleading long and earnestly for the
fine building. One wing was to be
erected this year. to be dedicated to
either the men or the women Of the
institution. and the other wing to cost
another $4,000 was to be erected in
1915. Iowa's hopes are now destined
to vanish in smoke. 30 far as 1914 is
concerned.
