July 1, 1916, has resigned that post
to accept the presidency of the Uni
versity of Vermont at Burlington,

president of Western Reserve Uni
versity, Cleveland, o.
Il feel that we have started much
that is worthwhile at the postwar
University of Delaware, while carry
ing on the university's best tradi-
tions," DR.. Carlson said. 'I regret
that will not be here, save in spir-
it, to aid in the completion Of many
of these programs
Elias Lymans acting president and
trustee Of the University OF Yer,
mont, said that in their search for
a president, the trustees had been
attracted to DR.. Carlson by quail
tiles manifested in an environment
similar to our own. especially in
student and faculty leadership. and
in the essential humanness of the
man."
In a statement issued by Judge
M. Morris, president of the Della
ware board of trustees, regret was
expressed on the loss of DR.. Carl
son to the Newark institution. 'He
has more than fulfilled the expecta-
tions, even the hopes of the board
OF trustees" Judge Morris said.

OUTDOOR SHORTS.

Members of the Montana fish
and game commission expect a
serious shortage in the game fish
population next year. They re-
port that this summers drought
has lowered the water level to
such extent that reservoirs and
streams cannot support the nor
nal number of fish.
Members of the commission have
also issued a report that the deer
herd must be decreased in order
that the herd will have sufficient
winter range. Reports from many
sections of the state indicate that
this may be true. However, we
all should bear in mind the special
seasons opened in Utah several
years ago: a special holiday hunt
was declared on does and antler-
less deer. If my memory is cor
rect, 750 was the number to be
taken, but indiscriminate shooting
killed many more than this num-
ber. Today only few deer are
seen in that particular area. If
special seasons are declared on
Montana deer, let's all yell for
rigid supervision by game wardens
so that a recurrence of the Utah
fiasco cannot take place here. We
want our game herd intact and
SC that normal reproduction will
maintain the present level, to the
end that We'll have hunting in
the years to come, not just this
fall!

One of the hazards of submarine
operations is accidental flooding OF
the hull to a degree that positive
buoyancy cannot be attained by
blowing ballast. This occurred in

hull is not crushed, it is likely that
q considerable portion Of the crew
