Ham of Yale as the college's first male president. Dr. Ham has been named to succeed Dr. Mary E. Woolley, who will retire in June. Miss Caroline D. Smiley of Boston, & leader of the fight against Dr. Ham's appointment, promised to place be- fore the trustees at their meeting to- day important “new material” which she said she hoped would “break the controversy wide open.” If the trustees failed to resign, she said, the “new material” would be placed before the Alumnae Associa- tion Council and made public. The trustees were expected to con- clude their meeting today, but meet- ings of the Alumnae Council will con- tinue tomorrow. Allied with Miss Smiley was Miss Amy Rowland of Cleveland, Ohio.
