OF HIS ELECTION
Letter Of Board Of Governors
And Visitors Forwarded To
Dr. Ralph V. D. Magoffin, And
Understanding Here Is He
Will Accept.
SALARY OF POST FIXED ,
AT $4,500 PER ANNUM
L. Dorsey Gassaway. secretary of
the Board of Governors and Visitors
' St- John's College, has sent formal
notification to Dr. Ralph V. D. Magof
j flu, associate professor of Greek and
I Roman history at Johns Hopkins Unl
j versity, of his election to the presi
dency of St. Johns at the close of
the present collegiate term. Whether
Dr. Magoffin will accept the post could
not be learned today. It is pretty gen
erally understood, however, that he
will; that there was a tentative under
standing before the election formally
wag ratified. The notification was
sent by letter.
Effort was made by a representa
tive of The Evening Capital to get
in touch with Dr. Magoffin over the
long distance telephone today, but of
ficials advised that he had gone to
| New York on a business trip and prob
al ly would Le absent for a couple of
days.
Fix Salary At *4,500
In electing Dr. Magoffin to the post
at St. John’s, the Board of Governors
, carefully considered the qualifications
; of the several persons who had been
recommended by a sub-committee of
the body. The choice, it is said, nar
rowed down to a field of three, and
! sentiment steadily crystallised in favor
of Dr. Magoffin and he was finally
chosen. It also has been learned that
the board fixed the salary of the presi
dency at $4,500 per annum, in addition
to a house on the college campus.
The salary question, it is said, was
the chief bone of contention before
' the final election of Dr. Magoffin was
eflected.
