 College Another Year

Auburn, May Especial. )-Def- mite decision on the part of Prof NJ. J. Funchess and Prof. M. l.. Nicn- ols to decline attractive offers to go to other institutions is causing mucN favorable comment on the part oi the students and members of the fac ulty at Auburn.
 Being generally recognized as an outstanding leader in agronomy re- search work and a teacher of unusual ability, Professor Fuchess was of- fered an attractive position at the Oklahoma Agricultural Mechanical college, and for similar reasons Pro- lessor Nichols had tempting offer from the University of California.
 This decision on the part of two very popular Auburn professors to remain here at lower salaries than offered elsewhere is evidence of the loyalty of the Auburn faculty and explains why the Alabama Polytech- ric institute, on minimum funds holds highly coveted place among southern colleges.

nor its avenda and it was negotiated
so secretly not even Senators Lodge
