WANT EDUCATOR TO FILL OFFICE OF CHANCELLOR
Friends Launch Move In The Interest of Dr. Henderson, Of Salisbury, For This Post.
TRUSTEES TO ACT ON UNIV. MERGER SOON
If Appointed Will Be At The Head Of The N. C. Consolidated University And Will Direct Its Affairs.
A movement to boom Dr. Archibald Henderson for the chancellorship of the consolidated University of North Carolina when, and if, the merger is effected is being quietly organized by a group of Dr. Henderson's close friends in various parts of the state.
The proposed plan of procedure for the merger of N. C. C. W. and State college with the present university puts a chancellor at the head of the consolidated university with a president directing the affairs of each of the three individual institutions.
This proposed plan is scheduled to be submitted soon to the new board of trustees set up by the last legislature to serve the consolidated university. If approved, the plan is expected to go into effect during the next year.
A number of letters are known to have been written emphasizing the qualifications of Dr. Henderson for the post of chancellor. And if the position is created, friends of his regard it as certain that he will be strongly advanced for the honor.
Dr. Henderson is now and has been for many years professor of mathematics at the university. He has gained international renown for his work in literature, being particularly known as the biographer and close friend of George Bernard Shaw. He has been mentioned for the presidency of the university on numerous occasions in the past.
Dr. Henderson is believed to be the first to be actively advanced for the position, although a number of others have been mentioned. Dr. Frank Graham, president of the present university, and Dr. E. C. Brooks, president of State college, have both been suggested. Then there has been some talk of selecting a recognized business man for the position of chancellor and leaving the presidencies of the three individual institutions to be filled by educators.
