OFFICIAL BODY WILL
ACT THIS AFTERNOON

AT a special meeting OF the
Board of Visitors and Governors
of St, Johns College scheduled
for o'clock this afternoon, it is
not unlikely that a new President
Of the College will be selected,
and every indication points to
Major Enoch Barton Carey, II.
}. Army, as the probable appoin-
Zee. Major Carey is an alumnus
If St. Johns, class of 1903, and
also a graduate of West Point
Military Academy. His present
duty is as Professor of Military
Science and Commandant Of
Johns Hopkins University. He
is also president of the Alumni
Association of St. Johns.
Committee Has Combed Field
The matter of selecting President
of st. Johns to succeed DIR. Thomas
Fell, who was made President Eneri-
tus upon his decision to voluntarily
retire after a long record OF distin-
guished service. was taken up by the
Board OF Visitors and Governors sew
eral months ago. At the April meet
ing, DR.. Ralp McGonin, OF Johns Hop
kins,l was elected by the Board, bat
he declined the Office. Since that
time the standing Committee OF Wle
Board of which States Attorney
James M. Munroe Is chairman, con-
tinued its careful scanning OF the
field and the listing OF applicants and
prospects, in order to make the best
possible selection for the presidency
OF tho college Major Garey's name
was frequently mentioned, but he had
stated that it was out of the question
for him to consider the position, even
II 1T should be offered to him Since
then, however, the sentiment strongly
crystalized for him, especially among
the alumni, who pointed to him as
the "man of the hour" for st. Johns:
the result being, so IL is understood,
that at meeting of the Committee
held about week ago he was sent
for and asked il he would accept the
presidency, and that he agreg o do
so provided that he was ~ unani-
nous choice of the committee.
Gares's Election Seems Assured
Although no announcement Has
been made on the subject, it is said
to be more than likely that, at the
meeting of the Board specially he1I
at the request of the committee this
| afternoon, Major Garey's name will
be submitted with the recommenda-
ton that the Committees selection of
him be ratified by the Board. 1t is
thought to be more than likely that
the Board will take favorable action
on this, and that Major Garey's elec-
ton as President OF st. Johns Col
lege will accordingly take place
forthwith.
Brilliant As Soldier And Scholar
Major Carey has attained distinc-
tion during his career in the Army,
both as a soldier and as a scholar.
He was recently decorated with the
Distinguished Service Medal for con-
spicuous gallantry in action during
the World War, thus crowning a rec
ord otherwise notable. He is the au-
thor of number Of books on mill
tary subjects, which have met with
marked success and are now aEten-
sively used throughout the country.
Major Carey is generally reeogniz-
ed as man of strong force of char
acter and of ability, and as being
most ardent ST. Johns man. He is
married, his wife being the dauglter
OF Rear-Admiral Arthur Ross, u. s.
~, (retired). They have four chill

Contests.
FRESHMEN FURNISHED
SPECTACULAR DRIVE

Three splendid contests of
Craftsmanship were witnessed on
Severn river Saturday afternoon
when Syracuse University and
the Naval Academy staged their
annual regatta for eight-oared
crews. Navy romped away with
the major, or Varsity event and
the 'Pelebs" or fourth class mid
shipmen also bested the Fresh
men crew of the Orange, but the
Nays second Varsity was COM
pletely outrowed by the Junior
Varsity of the New York insti-
tuition.
Varsity BY Nearly Two Lengths
In the Varsity race which was the
nightcap of the program, the Mid
dies swept across the finish line one
and three-quarter lengths ahead of
their rivals. The Cyracuse Juniors
defeated their challengers by two and
half lengths, while the Plebes had
all they could do to win by scarcely
half length after one of the most
gruelling races ever staged on the
Severn.
The official times were:
Navy Varsity, 1880 1-5; Syracuse

Syracuse Juniors, 1851; Navy Ju-
niors, 11O0.

Freshmen, 1856 IA.
Freshman Race Spectacular
Perfect conditions for rowing pre-
vailed, except for an adverse tide.
There was scarcely zephyr of wind
and the river was almost dead calm.
From the spectacular standpoint the
Freshman race took the palm. At no
stage was there open~water between
the shells. The Plebes, getting bet
ter start, jumped into a ten-foot lead
The crews were neck and neck at the
mile point, and soon Novy got again

power in the final drive.

their opponents from the start. al
