The New President of
University Of Wisconsin

In accepting the presidency OF the Uni
versity DR., Birse presented the follow
inS letter to the regents:
81 have received with deem feeling the
invitation OF the regents To undertake
the office of president OF the University
Of Wisconsin. My relations, both per-
soral and official, with four successive
III esidents of the university have been
intimate and cordial They have given
ne at once an exceptional appreciation
Of the high honor involved in your offer
and of the Importance and difficulty Of
the office which you ask me to assume.
No one can know better than l do the
work and the influence of Presidents
Bascom. Chamberlain. Adams and Van
Hlsc and | write the words which follow
because ! know both the part which the
president has taken In the progress Of
the university and the part which he
must take in the future IL coming years
are to continue and enlarge the progress
OF the past
81 wish that I could believe It wise TO
accept your offer In an unqualified way
and to undertake the duties Of the pres-
dency for an indefinite number OF years.
oven though in the nature of the case
that number could not he great. can
not, however. see that ought to do this
since the interest OF the university Ind-
Gates that | ought to follow another
course.
, II believe that the presidency OF the
university should pass as soon as prac-
tlcable into the hands of one TO whom
the institution may look for many years
OF service. I believe also that the ad-
vantage OF the University lies in such
service beginning In year when the
Legislature does not meet. so that the
new president may have time to gain ac-
quaintance within the institution before
re undertakes the duty OF adjusting its
relations to the State--a duty which in
some form must arise with each success
sive Legislature.
"I am ready. therefore. to accept the
presidency on the following condition ::
That the regents will promptly begin to
look for another president IN lhe hope If
finding within short time man to
whom tho Office may be committed with
full expectation that he may hold IT for
long term,
"1f the regents agree with me in this
view OF the situation ] will use my best
Efforts for the welfare of the university
during my term OF Office, | will also
cordially aid the regents $50 far as they
may wish me to do this) in determining
the permanent administration of the UNI
versity"

HARVARD UNIVERSITY.

For the balance Of the current college
year there will be no active military or
naval training for Harvard Undergrad
yates. This is announced in a statement
made by President Lowell, who says
further that in view of the facts that
the great majority of men returning to
Cambridge from the service would not
receive additional benefit from such
training. that the systems of atraining
recently enforced do not appear the best
which can be devised. and that the de-
velopment of practical and permanent
system OF military instruction for coming
classes Is of primary import. the univer-
sity authorities believe that IL will be
more feasible to begin it's new military
programme in the fall of 1919.
The new programme referred to will be
based on the same General Order 40,
which authorized the establishment of
the reserve officers training corps, but
the War Department will make changes
in the details of its operation. Not only
will instruction in infantry he offered.
but also colleges will be encouraged TO
develop artillery, engineer signal corps
and other units. An effort is being
made. supported by President Lowell. TO
concentrate the drill and field work in
summer camps of approximately six
weeks duration, and to devote that part
of the work which would come during
term time 10 lectures and classroom
work. The establishment of a field ar
tillery unit here is favored because this
branch lends itself most readily to such
system. although President Lowell
believes II advisable to continue q GER
tain amount OF infantry work at the
same time. It is at present impossible
to state definitely the course which will
be followed. During the next few
| months the question is to be carefully
considered. and advance preparations
| will be made so that when the new sys.
! TEN of training does go into effect il
will be well founded and permanent. al

New York University held the lead with
five games won and none lost. Yale and
Harvard second with four games won
and one lost, Princeton. Columbia and
Williams with two games won and three

the fact that a number OF the players
