Dr. Francis Brown has been elected president of Union Theological Seminary, to succeed the late Dr. Charles Cuthbert Hall. Says the New York correspondent of the Congregationalist: "Graduates and undergraduates are enthusiastic over the choice of Prof. Francis Brown. Doctor Brown, in his thirtieth year on the teaching staff, is so beloved that every year, as former students return for the May aniversary, he receives an ovation at roll call. The choice is as popular in the city among the friends of the seminary.'' Doctor Brown, who is one of the most distinguished Hebrew scholars in America, is now in Jerusalem as resident director of the American School for Oriental Study and Researoh in Palestine, and will return in September to undertake his new work.
Secretary, John H. Hardy., Arlington, Mass.
