Named Dean By the Associated Press. * NEW YORK, April 13.—For Adolph 8. Ochs, the publisher of the New York Times, who died this week, there | remain tonight, and for many nights to come, the silent benedictions he | would have appreciated most—the benedictions of “the one hundred neediest cases.” Since he inaugurated “the one hun- dred neediest cases” in 1912 it has been regarded as one of the most human of all Christmas time chari- ties, and newspapers everywhere have taken it up. Mr. Ochs himself alway: regarded it as one of his greatest per- sonal achievements. ‘The publisher predicated “the hun- DR. ERNEST S. GRIFFITH. —Bachrach Photo. AMERGAN L DEAN ‘ Syracuse Professor Suc- ceeds Late Dr. Harold _Golder. Dr. Ernest S. Griffith, professor of political science of the School of Citi- zenship and Public Affairs of Syra- cuse University has been appointed dean of the Graduate School of Ameri- can University, it was announced last night by Dr. Joseph M. M. Gray, chancellor of A. U. He will assume the duties of his office at the close of the present academic vear. Dr. Griffith succeeds Dr. Harold Golder, who died last Summer. In the interim, Dr. C. C. Tansill, head of the department of history of American University, has been acting dean. To Concentrate Work. H “The appointment of Dr. Griffith.” according to a statement issued by Chancellor Gray, “is in line with the decision of the university to concen- trate its graduate work in the field of the social science. It is the aim of the American University w0 develop in Washington one of the outstanding graduate schools of the social sciences in the country. We feel that Dr. Griffith is unusually well qualified to as- sume the leadership of such an under- taking.” Dr. Griffith, who in addition to his professorship at Syracuse University, is dean of the “lower division” of the institution, is 38 years of age. He re= ceived his A. B. degree from Hamilton | College, and his D. Phil. from Oxford | University. He attended the latter university in connection with his| studies as a Rhodes scholar from the | State of New York. | Upon his graduation from Oxford | WASHINGTON, dred neediest cases” on the convic- tion that charity-for-a-day, as ex- emplified by Christmas baskets and Christmas gifts, was a hollow gesture to those in dire, year-around need. He felt it was far better to minister to the “hundred neediest” cases for a yesr than to spread charity thinly over a greater number. Another characteristic widely re- marked upon after the publisher's sudden death at Chattanooga. scene of his early newspaper struggles and triumphs, was the lifelong consistency of his policy in newspaper publishing. Five years before he purchased the New York Time he told a convention of the National Editorial Association at St. Paul: “A journal conducted as a news- paper, being a fearless purveyor, and when needed, equally fearless inter- preter of the news is, in the intel- ligent public opinion, the newspaper of the future.” In August, 1896, when setting forth his policy for the New York Times, he sald it was his desire “to conduct a high-standard newspaper, clean, dignified and trustworthy.” Two months later was born the slogan: “All the news that's fit to print.” In 39 years of ownership of the New York Times Adolph Ochs never say any reason to change this prin- ciple or to modify it. .W. & J.

Va, April 13— Traveling Westward by automobile, Herbert Hoover spent an hour in ‘Wheeling today with party leaders of West Virginia—the State that sent 29-year-old Rush D. Holt, a Democrat, to the Senate in the last general election. The visit of the titular head of the Republican party was unheralded, and he made no statement except to say that he was on purely a pleasure trip through the States. Those who attended a dinner with the former President at the Fort Henry Club asserted there was no political significance to his presence. Hoover resumed his trip late today, heading for Columbus, Ohio. He was | accompanied by Mark Sullivan, poli- tical writer; his secretary and his | chauffeur.
