Considered Certain Title
in Doubt
OFFICE TO BE CREATED
General Lcrinard Wood will be voted
upon as co-head nf the rnlversil) nf
Pennsyhniiln by tile board of trustee!'
this nfternoon.
There i.s no known opposition to the
general, nnd his election Is considered
a certainty. Hp wbh nominated nt the
March meeting of the board, nnd under
the by -lawn ot the I'lilversitv his name
bnel to be held over for one meeting
before a vote for election could be taken.
What title will be given (tctifi'iil
Wood is not clcllnltelv known. As Dr.
Joslnh II. Pelinlinnn, acting yrcivci-t,
has been nsked to remain In ills present
ciipacit) as educational head, nn oftlie
of chancellor or president will have to
be created for the general.
With respect to tin; endowment fund
campaign for nt leant $10,000,000.
which the trustees approved at their
Inst meeting in their declaration of fu
ture policy, the alumni, through the
wirloiiH class organizations', arc already
taking steps to raise hrgc sutns.clnsses
competing with one another. No wide
plnn of the drive has ct been worked
out.
Two otlier mntters nre pending before
the trustees, neither of which is ex
pected to be .settled nt todav's meeting.
The question of co-education, or what
will be the future of the women -til
dents. Is still before a commltlee nf
trustees which hnR never met. according
to (icorge Wharton Pepper, one of the
committee.
Possibility .of a ten -y enr term for
trustees, suggested by Ffllnghaiii I'.
Morris, has never been officlalh con
sidered by the board. According to the
charter, they serve for life, but Mr.
Morris recently suggested n "gentle
men's agreement" wherebv thev would
resign after ten venrs' service. Athletic
mutters, Including the enlargement nf
Franklin Field, may be neted upon to
dav. Three places now remain ncant nn
the board of trustees, owing to the
death of J. Levering .lone- and Whar
ton Parker, and the resignation of
Hampton L. Carson. These will un
doubtedly be filled in the near future by
men representing other sections of the
country, according to the belief of those
who construe the promise of the trus
tees In their policy declaration to give
wider representation.
