APPOINTMENTS ANNOUNCED
F. w. Kehoe, U. V. M. Registrar,
Remains through 1918.
Miss Lena e. Clough Made Presidents
Private secretary-Many Faculty
Changes In the Four Colleges
Given Out.

Details concerning the reorganization
to be brought about at the State univer-
sity on October !. with the coming OF Sec
rotary Of State Guy w Bailey as comp
troller together with faculty changes, were
announced Tuesday by President Guy
Potter Benton. +. w. Kehoe will remain
as registrar throughout the next academic
year so as to give the comptroller time to
master the routine of the office, etc. This
was found advisable, because of the fact
that much preliminary work has to be
done before the college year opens. and
Mr.. Bailey does not assume Office until
the term has we'll begun. President Ben
ton will continue to have private secre-
tary. and Miss Lena E. Clough. executive
clerk. has been appointed to the position.
The outside duties. however. such as the
management of the university store and
boarding house. will fall to Mr.. Bailey.
Miss Clough was acting private secretary.
and has rendered good service during the
three years she has been in the office OF
executive clerk. The board of trustees
ratified the appointment. which was made
by DR.. Benton. Henry W. Blackburn, SUI
perintendent of buildings and grounds,
like Charles P Smith. treasurer. will re-
tain his Office until October 1, and remain
instructor in mechanical engineering. The
university feels fortunate in retaining Mr.
Smiths services since he asked, a year
ago, to be relieved.

dent Guy Potter Benton's announcement
in his annual report, based on cards OF
inquiry sent out to the next senior. junior
and sophomore classes. that 80 per cent. Of
the members would return, already has

DIR. MESSENGERS VIEW.
Prof. ]. F. Messenger. director Of the
summer school. said he hesitated to make
predictions regarding attendance. but felt
encouraged by the demand for dormitory
space. which compared we'll with other
years. But for the war he believed the
attendance would be considerably larger
than last summer.

If God approves, naught can alarm
And lie will save me from all harm"
And that same Saturday at night
An Angel of the Lord with might
To Haslibacher came,
And said: The Lord me here did send
To strengthen you TO meet your end
TO give you help that will avail
If in your faith you do not fail,
But stand both fast and firm.
That faith is pleasing to the Lord.
