RumOr of Shifts in University De-

1t is understood that the state board
of educational administration will
shortly announce the engagement of a
new man to head the department of
pedagogy at the state university at
Lawrence. In this event, Prof. Alvin
Olin, who has discharged the duties of
dean of the department for the past
two years, will return to his chair of
history of education.
Two years ago the position of dean
of the department of pedagogy be-
came vacant and Professor Ohm has
since managed it, at first with the til
tie of acting dean and for the past
year he has served as dean with the
understanding that a new man would
probably be brought to Kansas from
elsewhere to permanently take the
title.
Professor Olin has charge of the
summer school and, it is stated, will
not leave Kansas
