4 ALUMNI TO PICK U. OF P. TRUSTEES Bord's Action Gives Virtual Control to 16,000 Graduates —Step to Popular ize Academic Management—Resolu tion to Amend University Statutes Framed by Effingham B. Morris. Taken from the Philadelphia Ledger. Published at the request of W. E. Blair, President of the Alumni Association. Virtual control of the manage ment of the University of Pennsyl vania was delegated yesterday to alumni of that institution when the trustees voluntarily adopted an amendment to the University statutes providing that all vacan cies on the board be filled by elec tion from nominations made to the trustees by graduates of the Uni versity. This action was taken at a regu lar monthly meeting of the board of trustees in Houston Hall and transfers the general administra tive policy of Pennsylvania from the hands of 21 trustees to an alumni of more than 10,000 all over the world. The resolution was framed by Effingham B. Morris, chairman of the board committee on finance and president of the Girard Trust Company, of this city. Its pur pose is "stimulating interest of alumni in the University and in creasing their share in its manage ment." By the terms of the University charter the board, consisting of 21 members, serving for life or until their voluntary retirement, is a self-perpetuating body. For some years, by the terms of a previous amendment, the alumni have had the right to fill every third vacan cy on the board. The first man to be chosen from alumni nomina tions was William A. Redding, of New York, who recently took his place on the board. Mr. Morris, who led a discussion on his proposed amendment before graduates of the University on Alumni Day, February 21, siid at that time that the unrestricted delegation of the power to elect trustees to the alumni would be a violation of the University char ter. However, he pointed out, the insertion of a clause reserving to the trustees the right to add names of their own notion to the list of candidates submitted by the alumni would prevent a violation of the charter. Such a clause has been inserted in the amendment. Under the amendment, trustees of the University will ad\ise the board of managers of the ('"eneral Alumni Society of any vacancy which may occur on the board. The board of managers of the Alumni Society then will select not less than six persons from whom a selection of three will be made by the board of trustees. These three will be returned to the alumni board ami ballots contain ing their names will be circulated to all Pennsylvania graduates. The board then will elect to membership tile "person who shall have received the highest number of votes. „ The resolution provides that unless a minimum of 4,000 votes is received the trustees may disregard the result of the elec tion. This clause, it was pointed out, is to insure general nterest among the alumni in the election. "RESOLUTIONS" OF THE LITER ARY SOCIETIES.

A meeting of the Websterian Literary Society was held Friday night, May 12th. After the meet ing was opened by the appoint ment of L. C. Berry as critic and Coggins, Way and Yates as judges, Resolved that Germany is justifia ble in maintaining her submarine policy, was debated with good arg uments on both sides. The affirmative was advanced by Hobert Patterson, Hervie Willard and Robert Frazier. These pro duced arguments showing how Germany's cramped position ne cessitated submarine warfare and how, according to the last note from the German Imperial Gov ernment this warefare was entire ly justified by international law. The negative was upheld by Charles Carrol, Clarence Macon and Ralph Yow. Their argu ments pointed out the cruelty of submarine warfare and the unjust ness of the peril placed on non combatants by it. After a heated discussion, the question was submitted to the judges who decided in favor of the affirmative. The society then attended to some miscellaneous business and, after a very helpful talk by the critic, adjourned. THE GUILFORDIAN THE AVEBSTERIAN ORATORICAL CONTEST.
