KIMBALL MOVE VOTED f AT TRUSTEE MEETING (Continued" trim' page 1.) ' '. - doubtful status of? the university church extensions tm the. campus of the University 4f Washington at Seattle provided no certain quarters for Kimball school. Dr. E. C. Hickman, president of Kimball school argued in fa- vof of moving the institution : to Seattle, , predicting that If the change were -made ' the school would experience a rapid: growth. V Present at the meeting were deputations - from the ; faculty, alumni and student body of Kim ball, president Hickman and trustees,- Including Dr. Edward1 Laird Mills, editor of the Pacific Chris tian Advocate, Portland: Dr. J. Ralph Magee, of Seattle; Dr. D. H. Leach superlnteneenjt ' Of : the Sa lem ' district, Salem; , Dr. A. L. Howarth, superintendent , of the Portland district, Portland; Dr. D. D. Fields, pastor at Grants Pass; Konald ' Glover, Salem; s Charles W. Gill,. Portland,' D. E. Degraff and others. ' ' - ,- -; : : Tonight's meeting was the cli max of the controversy that has been - In progress ' for several months over the proposal to move the school. Some time' ago the trustees adopted a resolution fav oring the proposed change. The last week it was learned from au thoritative sources that the wis dom of the move was doubted by some of those interested. At the same time rumors were current that President Hickman was considering tendering ' his resignation. Dr. Hickman at that time refused "to confirm' or deny the reports that the 'school wquld hot be moved, and declined to com ment on the rumors 'concerning his resignation. Today's meeting which lasted from ' three o'clock this afternoon until seven tonight at times grew acrimonious as the opposing factions argued for their contentions. "Frankly I am not In accord with President Hickman's maneu vering to take Kimball away from Salem," - said Ronald Glover,, lay member trustee of the school. and I am going to do all I can to retain the institution in Sa lem." V Dr. Oliver, vice t president of Willamette, derided the claim that Washington university was a bet ter college of connection for Kim ball than Willamette. ' He chal lenged the Seattle exponents to name more than three Methodist ministers educated at Washington while pointing to the large num ber of Willamette graduates in" ministerial callings. ; x r 'i Dr. Oliver declared that Kim ball's function was to train men for the pulpit and that the growth and prestige', desired by President Hickman, unless it attained ! this object, was futile. ' Among the proposals informally considered at the'meetlng were-: Removal of the school to Seattle as per the original resolution. for merly adopted by the board; the resignation of President Hickman and retention of the school at Sa lem; the temporary closing of the school. The only, resolution of ficially considered was the one re affirming the hoard's ? previous action, and' expressing the trus tee's hope! that Bishop Shepard would consult " with - them - about the whole proceedings ' upon ; his return.
