| ANGELL MAY CONSIDER
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENCY
Seattle, Nov. 20—James Rowland
Augell, dean of all the faculties of
th6 University of Chicago and acting
president of that Institution during
President Judson's absence, may
consent to bo a candidate tor the
presidency • of the University of
j Washington, to succeed Dr. Thomas
1 Franklin Kane, whose lesignation
, became effective last summer. Dean
I Angen visited the university last
week and after a conference with
the regents and other administra
tive officers returned east, promis
iug to give his decision in two
weeks.
Dean Angell made no effort to
conceal his disapproval of some
physical -and financial features of
the University of Washington.. He
frequently remarked the inadequacy
of the buildings and the main tenant
fund, considering the large enroll
ment. The exposition buildings, ;
which have become something of an
eyesore, he declared ought to be!
dtstroped, as have the members of
the university faculty frequently,
and he objected to the overcrowd
ing Of all the recitation halls and
laboratories, declaring efficient work
difficult if not impossible under ex-1
isting conditions...
Salaries of incujty men, urau |
Angeli declared, were below the j
average in the east, and he assert- j
ert his belief that good men could j
not be obtained and kept at the'
university unless the pay were rais
ed. Low salaries, he said, kept the
teachers from traveling and from at
tending conferences and conventions J
of learned societies, so stimulating
both as-to literary output anfc class
room efficiency.
Dean Angeli, who is the son of
Dr. James Burril Angeli, president
of the University of Michigan for
38 years and now president emeri
Itus, is a psychologist of note, and
has been a member of tha faculty of
the University of Chicago sir.*e 1S94,
being one of the oldest In point of
service. •
He was graduated from the Uni
versity of Michigan, and later
studied abroad at Berlin, Halle,
Vienna, Paris and Leipzig. He
taught at the University of Minni
sota before going to Chicago. He be
came senior dean at the latter uni
versity in 1908 and dean of all the
faculties in 1911. Despite his
abundant duties in the university, he
has found time in the past to be
president of the Chicago settlement,
and *o write extensively. He is the
author of a textbook on psychology
that has passed through several edi
tions.
Under the regulations of the Uni
versity of Chicago, which do not al
low anyone other than a Baptist to
become president, Dean Angeli is
prevented from ever reaching a
higher position there than that
which he now holds.
Dean Angeli was the guest of
President Landes during his briet
visit to the campus.

A PIONEER OF THE NORTH
RETURNS FROM RUSSIA

hag been on a visit to his boyhood
home in St. Petersburg, Russia, was
a passenger on th© Admiral Evans

for Russia on a visit to relatives,
who are still living there. He was
getting ready to return to Alaska
about the time the European wjir
broke out, and had so written to
his friends in the north. After that
he disappeared for several weeks
an completely as though the earth
had swallowed him, and his friends
in Alaska, through the state depart
ment at Washington, D. C., caused
inquiries to be made concerning
him, thinking that probably he had
been impressed into service in the
Russian army, but this was subse
quently disproved, and lie was lo
cated in St. Petersburg.
Buhro when he left America went
to Germany, and whil,3 in Berlin
met Dr. Northman, who was there
taking a course in one of the medi
cal colleges. From Berlin he went
to St. Petersburg, and by the time
he got ready to leave that city the
declaration of war between Germany
and Russia had been ir,ade. in
order to get out of the country he
had to go to Vladivostok and from
there take steamer to Japan, from
which country he found no difficulty
in reaching the land o* his adop
tion.
Ho expressed himself as being
greatly pleased to again be i"
"Thd land of the free and Vie home
cf the brave," even though it !s
not the land of his nativity.

DISCOVERED NEAR NOME

Nome with the news of a mysterious
wanderer jyho bad been discovered
traveling along the coast in a boat
last summer.
The boat was built by Limseslf, at
a cost for the lumber of twelve
dollars, and he has been encounter
ed a number of times, eepecUlfr
around York and vicinity. On th#
last trip of the Silver Wave, the
man was met at Tin City, where he
came on board and had dinner with
the crew. He is certairly a mys
tery, and about himself he ia most
Teticient. - He did not state his
past except to Intimate ttat he
hailed from Richmond, led. The
man's manners were reported to
refined, and his language showed
him to have received a gcod educa
tion. How he lives is tbe deepest
puzzle for the curious mariners
along the coast. He expressed a»
intention to the crew of the Silver
Wave t0 go to the Diomedes. He
is e')0ut twenty seven years of age
and said that he lived for some
time on the beach within three miles
of Nome.
His erratic manner leads some to
believe that he ie slightly off men
tally, while the more suspicious
think that he ia on secret service
beat.
