desiro me to convey to the trustees the
impressions wo hate formed as to the

. "Wc all know thnt the election of
General Wood a provost met w ith such
enthusiastic and unanimous approval
by the alumni that they have been ready
to work zealously under his leadership
for the development nnd future great
ncas of the University.
, "As the time approached when it was
expected General Wood would enter
upon the duties of his office, the desire
to have him at the head of the Uni
versity nffnirs has grown in strength
and intensity.
"While nn estimate of the serious
ness of the emergency which may pro
long his stay in the Philippines can only
be formed by General Wood himself and

.War through info-mat ion supplied by
him, xe feel thnt we express the senti
