In Kansas

Ding, dong, dell, Chancellor Ernest H. Lindley was in the well. Who put him in? Governor Jonathan Davis. Who pulled him out? Governor Ben S. Paulen.

A fortnight ago (TIME, Jan. 19) the State Board of Administration of the University of Kansas, at the insistence of the retiring Democratic Governor Jonathan M. Davis, ousted Chancellor Lindley. Last week, began the regime of Republican Governor Ben S. Paulen. As forecast, Dr. Lindley was reinstated as Chancellor.

Vice Chancellor W. L. Burdick, made Acting Chancellor by Governor Davis, reverted to his former position.

Thus ended what has been called "an attempt to make education the tool of politics."
