Last week another name went on the list, with the announcement of the resignation of President Thomas Franklin Kane of the University of North Dakota, who approaches 70 and a Carnegie Foundation pension. A Latin and Greek scholar, Dr. Kane graduated from De Pauw and Johns Hopkins. Before going to North Dakota in 1918, he was president...
