Golden List

Through pedagogs' dreams flash the golden names of colleges which are currently hunting presidents: Harvard, Princeton, Virginia, Illinois, Toledo. Changes are expected at Washington; its President Matthew Lyle Spencer submitted a perfunctory resignation last month. Andover is looking for a headmaster. Last week another name went on the list, with the announcement of the resignation of President Thomas Franklin Kane of the University of North Dakota, who approaches 70 and a Carnegie Foundation pension. A Latin and Greek scholar, Dr. Kane graduated from De Pauw and Johns Hopkins. Before going to North Dakota in 1918, he was president of Olivet College (Mich.) for two years. Before that he was for eleven years president of the University of Washington, where it is still said that his wife forbade him to smoke cigarets.
