Promptly Pat Harrison of Mississippi rose in the Senate to criticize. The President's move was so unexpected that Democrat Harrison was forced to extemporize a trifle uncertainly. First he heavily satirized the appointment as being cheap politics; it was designed, said he, solely to remove Mr. Thompson from Ohio politics where there are several Republican candidates for Governor.

The newspaper, to celebrate its 90th anniversary next year, offered the University $6,000 annually for ten years to establish a Chair of Journalism. The journalistic instruction is to be correlated with that in economics, literature, history, languages and possibly commercial law, so that students will have a well-rounded social learning no matter into what profession they eventually go. President A. B. Dinwiddie of Tulane accepted in the name of the University Board of Administration...
