With the Board of Trustees of the University of Wisconsin on the look out for a successor of Glen Frank, ousted head of the state institution, Harvard's faculty seemed a natural place for them to turn.

Two members, Payson S. Wild, assistant professor of Government, and Kirley F. Mather, professor of Geology have both been prominently mentioned in dispatches from Madison, Wisconsin. It was said that conferences between officials of the University and the two Harvard faculty men have already been arranged and would take place later in the month.

At present the University leadership is in the hands of an acting head, who will probably be replaced sometime before the end of the present academic year. The new President would not assume office until the start of the new academic year in September, it was believed.
