last night.
Professor W. C. Hawiey, who becomes
vice-president, will remain at the head of
the educational affairs of the school, and
will occupy the chair of history and eco
nomics. There Is every reason to believe
that the president and vice-president of
the Institution will make a strong team
for the management of the school, and
the Indications are that Willamette Uni
versity is now entering upon a new era
of prosperity. President Coleman Is high
ly poi:en of by Bishop Cranston, Dr.
McDowell. Dr. Mills and others who
know him.
Professor Hawiey has proven a very
popular man at the head of the school
duiing his service of eight years in that
capacity. When he was unexpectedly
called to the platform yesterday for a
brief address, the demonstrative applnuse
he received from the students present
was proof cf the esteem they have for
their educational leader. Professor Haw
ley has always been a close student of
all subjects bearing upon higher educa
tion, and is classed with those Instructors
who -always keep abreast of the times.

him close to the classroom, he could give
little attention to the outside interests of
the school. That the needs and Interests
