          At the suggestion of President Barker, Professor Miller

came before the Committee and asked for She appointment of a

Professor of Zoology. Professor Miller stated that he was orig-

inally employed as Professor of Geology but owing to some changes

in the faculty at a later period he consented to teach Zoology also

until such time as a professor could be secured for this work.

Prof. Miller urged the appointment of ax such a professor at

this time in as much as being the Dean of the College of Arts

and Science, he did not have time to give proper attention to

the work in Zoology.  The name of Professor Shull of Transylvania

University was suggested as a good man for the Chair of Zoology,
The Committee took no action upon this request of Prof. Miller's,
