According to the "Daily Maroon," Chicago University campus newspaper, Professor Charles E. Merriam of the Chicago Political Science Department is Harvard-bound. The name of the sixty-six year old professor is reported to have been submitted to the Harvard Corporation, but the "Maroon" indicates that no final action has yet been taken.
A full professor at Chicago since 1911, Merriam has been chairman of the Department of Political Science there, and was President 15 years ago of the American Political Science Association. The pre-war Republican candidate for mayor of Chicago has published numerous books and articles, of which "American Political Theories" (1903) and "American Political Ideas" (1921) are the best known.
The Department of Government has for some time been seeking an additional professorial chair on the grounds that the number of students concentrating in Government has greatly increased in recent years.
