Today we are handling 20 per cent more students than we were two years ‘ago, but with almost ex- actly the same number of instruct- ors. In this connection President Coff- man cited the loss of Professor Swann of the physics department who will go to the University of Chicago next year. Although the University most earnestly desired to keep Prof. Swann on the faculty is was unable to meet Chicago’s salary figure, he said. “This university, to maintain its high standards, must retain and en- courage those members of ts fac- ulty who have become teachers of re- nown, widely recognized,” declared the president.
