William A. Kneeland is one of five members of the Massachusetts House of Representatives forming part of a commission of thirteen to study the whole street railway situation in the state and report to a special session of the legislature to be held in November. David J. Maloney '97 is another of the delegation from the House upon the commission.
In the July MAGAZINE was mentioned the election of Harry W. Chase to the presidency of the University of North Carolina. The following is taken from the Alumni Review of that institution: "Dr. Chase came to the University in September, 1910, as professor of the philosophy of education. He immediately impressed the University as a man of strength, and quickly adjusted himself to the program of work in which the University was engaged. In 1914 he became professor of psychology, and later became acting dean of the College of Liberal Arts. In January, 1919, he was appointed chairman of the faculty, which position he filled so acceptably that the trustees were convinced that he would be the proper successor to the presidency. He has been a frequent contributor to educational and philosophical publications, and has been an influential member of societies interested in the promotion of knowledge in these fields. As an investigator of the school systems of the state, as a lecturer in the extension service of the University, and as a member of the executive committee of the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly, he has come to understand North Carolina and the high mission which the University is to fill in its life."
Secretary, Harry B. Johnson, 4 Glendell Terrace, Springfield, Mass.
