PROF. J. W. YOUNG TO DARTSMOUTH
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, MAY 23, 1911
HEAD OF DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS RESIGNS.
More Opportunities in the East His Reason—Came Here From University of Illinois.
Prof. J. W. Young head of the department of Mathematics, has resigned his position to go to Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, where he will accept a similar position. His letter of resignation was received by the faculty last week. He gave various reasons for resigning. At Dartmouth there is a greater opportunity for the Mathematical department as more funds are provided than here. However it took him over two weeks to decide as he thinks Kansas also has a great future and he is very sorry to leave.
Prof. Young went east the first of May to look over the situation and offer and stayed there for a week before returning. He will pack his household goods in about ten days. However he will not go to New Hampshire until fall as he will spend the summer in Chicago where he will teach in the summer session of the University of Chicago.
Prof. Young has been at Kansas for only this year. Before he came here he was a professor at the University of Illinois. He graduated from Ohio State University in 1899 and received besides, degrees from Cornell.

PARMELEE AND VAWTER THE APPOINTEEs.
Julius Carpen Fellowship Will be Made a Multiple—Duncan's Last Trip This Year.
Professor Robert Kennedy Duncan, who is at the head of the department of Industrial Research Chemistry at the Universities of Kansas and Pittsburg arrived in town this morning on his last visit to Kansas before the close of school. The nominations to several of the industrial fellowships that have been recently established have been made by Professor Duncan and were announced this morning.
Paul Parmelee, of the department of Chemistry of the University who was graduated in '08, has been nominated for one of the Armour fellowships and his work in that connection will require his pres nee at the University of Pittsburg. The fellowship yields an income of $1,200 a year. W. E. Vawter, a senior in the School of Engineering and who has been taking special work in the department of Chemistry, was nominated for the Armstrong Fellowship that was established at the University of Kansas a month ago. Mr. Vawter will work with asphaltum material and his fellowship will yield an income of $750 a year.
Professor Duncan is now engaged in making the arrangements for the conversion of the Julius Carpen Fellowship held by L. V. Redman from a single to a multiple fellowship. The work that Mr. Redman has been doing with wood varnish has proved to be of such consequence that it was deemed better results could be obtained by the establishment of a fellowship in which more men will be engaged.
