the University July, 1853. While
in Chapel Hill he roomed in a
private residence, the home of
Andrew Mickle. The "first hon

that of being chosen a member
of the Dialectic Society during
his freshman year. However, he
was compelled to leave his stud

ac'ct of ill health."
He next went to college at
Hampden-Sidney, Va., where he
received his A.B. m June, 1857.

DR. MOSHER MAY
ACCEPT POSITION
AT C. U)F N. Y.
Northern Institution Seeks Pro
fessor With Salary Nearly
Double Present Earning.
Dr. E. R. Mosher, professor of
education and director of train
ing here, announced yesterday
that he had been offered a pro
fessorship of secondary educa
tion at the College of the City of
New York at a salary nearly
double that which he now re
ceives. He said that he will prob
ably accept the offer.
This is just another incident
bearing out the point that, due
to the ( tremendous cut in teach
ing salaries in North Carolina,
the University is becoming the
happy hunting ground of other
institutions of higher learning.
Dr. Mosher follows several other
prominent members of Jhe UnU
versity's formidable faculty in
leaving the University.
If he resigns, Dr. Mosherwill "
be the third member of the Uni
versity faculty in the past three
months to be called away by at
tractive olfers.
Not Accepted Yet
In an interview with The
Daily Tar Heel yesterday, Dr.
Mosher said that he had not def
initely decided to accept the of
fer. Hej said that it came en
tirely unsolicited and were it not
for the fact that it is such a gen
erous one he would not consider
leaving at all. He is to teach
graduate students only at City
College. If Dr. Mosher. decides
to accept the offer his resigna
tion will go into effect next Sep
tember. Dr. Mosher came to the Uni
versity of North Carolina in
1923 as a professor of education
and was attached to the exten
sion division for three years.
Then he was transferred to resi
dence work in 1926 and made di
rector of training. Since vthen
he has been teaching regular
courses in secondary education
in the school of education and
exercising general supervision
over all teacher-training work
done in the Chapel Hill
schools.
