congratulations. I shall be pleased to hear that you accept the appointment with its responsibilities, beleiving as I candidly do, that it is for the best interest of the University at present.

I should also like to be informed as to your sojourn abroad &whether in the light of recent events, you are likely to return earlier than was contemplated at the outset. In the capacity of acting chancellor, I shall have need to discuss measures with you as early as possible & I doubt not the same is true of all those having to do with the work of the University.

Prof. Hicks was appointed Dean of the Industrial Faculty.

Please present regards of Mrs. D. and myself to Mrs. Bessey.

Yoursvery truly
