BISHOP PRINCETON SEARCHING Difficulty In Selecting a Successor to Dr. Wilson PKI.VCKTON university faces a crisis In the effort to select a president In succession to Dr. Woodrow yilson, now gover nor of New Jersey. Nearly a year hat eliipNed since the presidency was va cated by the resignation of Dr. Wil son, and in that period there Las been a most enerKctle search for an avail able mini having the qualifications to fill the post. The country has been scoured, and the hunt has even been DR. JOini B. FINLET. conducted nbrond. Yet the tendency has been and still Is to choose for the office a I'rlnceton gradunte who Is In thorough sympathy with the policies of the university and who understands Its Hfo and alms. The first three presidents, Dickinson, Burr and Edwards, were graduates of Tale before the college of New Jersey was founded. The four presidents covering the pe riod from 170fl to 1W1S. seventy-three yenrs, were Princeton graduates of the following classes: Smith, 1700; Green, 17S.T: Cnronhnn, 1SOO; Maclean, 1810. Moreover, they had all been officially connected with the university teach ing and administrative staffs before being elected to the supreme office. President McCosh came direct to the presidency from Scotland, but Tresldent Pntton graduated into It In 1S.SS from tho department of ethics, over which he has presided contin uously since 1SS1. Woodrow Wilson, Trlnceton '70, was professor of his tory, Jurisprudence and politics from 1S0O to 10M. Among tho trustees the closest se crecy has been kept regarding the de- DR. BKNJAalJB 1UK WHEELER. liberations of the special committee which has the task of recommending a president. Fully fifty names have been considered, and the process of elimi nating camlldats has been going on for months. While ninny men have been men tioned In cjmnetlon with tho presi dency, the most prominent have been Dr. Ileiijnmln Ide Wheeler, president of the I'nlverslty of California; Dr. II. A. Garfield, president of Williams col lege; Ir. David Jayne II1I1, tho retir ing American ambassador to Ger many; Professor Henry V. Osborn, president of the American Museum of Natural History; Dr. John II. Klnley. resident of the College of the City of New York; Professor Henry H. Fine, denn of the Princeton faculty; Dr. An drew F. West, denn of tho Princeton gradunte school; Dr. IIlMcn and Dr. Henry van Dyke. The situation apparently has nar rowed to this: If a Princeton graduate Is chosen lustend of nn outsider by which Is meant a scholar who was not ftradimted at Princeton, that person Will probably be Dr. John Grler lis ten, who Is the Stuart professor of Ion- j'1 ''f UNIVERSITY FOR A HEAD Finley, Hibben, Garfield or Hill May Be Chosen !c at the university. Dr. nibben la very popular In the university, both amoug the members of the faculty and the students. lie Is affable, sympa thetic, charming In manners and a most entertaining conversationalist or speaker. John A. Btewart of New Tork, senior member of the board of trustees, was solected several months ago to act as president pro tern, of the university. Actual administration of the details of the Institution has rested in Professor Fine, as dean of the faculty. Dr. Wheeler, Dr. Garfield, Dr. Fin ley and Mr. Hill are not graduates of I'rlnceton. but Dr. Finley and Dr. Garfield have held professorships in the university. The fact that all of them are not alnmnl of the Institution has operated against their eligibility, though very little In the cases of Dr. Garfield and Dr. Finley, who are fa miliar with the Inner workings and the polities of the university. Problems attending tho administra tion of the university are so many and DB. DAVTO . BILL. so critical In some of their phases that the Introduction of a "stranger" In the presidential chair would certainly cause a severe shock. The selection of a president for Princeton is also awaited with the keenest Interest by the educators of the country. Dr. Vllson, in a series of speeches extending over several years, has outlined In a general way the Ideals of Princeton. Outside In terests center mainly In whether these Ideals, all or part, will be con tinued In the new administration. It Is safe to say they will be In a large measure. Tho policies are so fixed that not even an "outsider" as presi dent can dislodge or change them very radically. But the wrong man In the presidency could cause much trouble. Dr. Lowell, president of Harvard, and other university bends have been observing Princeton's experiments with absorbing Interest Dr. Lowell has mentioned that Princeton's position In the fleld of education Is such that she can be regarded as the institution which will bo able to stand the strain of working out educational pioblems of great Importance to American univer sities as a whole and particularly the eastern Institutions. Putting the situation In a nutshell. It may bo salJ that Princeton la trying Ull. HAKIil A.
