North Carolina prospered under Dr. Chase's ten-year presidency and he received many an offer-like that of the presidency of the University of Oregon- promising better pay than his $10,000 a year at Chapel Hill. He accepted none until 1930, yielding then to the University of Illinois. With his wife, son and daughter he settled in the brick President's House overlooking some 1,556 acres of campus and cornfield. President Chase codified the University rules, gave the faculty more say, the deans less. He relaxed discipline enough to induce his 14,000 young Illini...
...third time in his 20-odd busy years of pedagogy, Harry Woodburn Chase-now white-haired though only 49 -made ready to move last week. He had accepted the chancellorship (presidency) of sprawling, polyglot New York University, to succeed Dr. Elmer Ellsworth Brown who is retiring at 71.

On the Heights there are: fraternity houses and dormitories; a genial campus policeman named John Quigley who was a fast friend of the late Sir Thomas...
What Chancellor-elect Chase plans for N. Y. U. he did not announce last week. He will, perforce, ponder its growth in 101 years, from the time that Samuel Finley Breese Morse there developed the telegraph and Professor John William Draper took the first photograph by sunlight. In 22 years under Chancellor Brown the enrolment grew from 4,175 to nearly 40,000 (including part-time students); the faculty from 282 to 1,800; the schools and colleges from eight to 12, including the important Graduate School of Business Administration. N. Y. U.'s endowment grew in proportion...
