Show of the Institute for a year or two while we are getting the College building in shape, I think your compensation would be $1500 a year, anyhow, if I were you I would take the position for less than $1500, for it involves far more care and labor than your present position, I should be very sorry to lose you in the College work even temporarily. But you and I could work finely together in the two places, and I am sure you could do much to greatly increase the popularity of the Institute and help the College the same. At present, there is no real unity between the two. I think, also, that it might be of advantage to you personally to have the experience of the Principalship for a brief time, altho' I have noticed that you would be willing to turn aside from college work except temporarily. <br><br> If you should think favorably of taking Mr. Caskey's place, in the College, As soon as I hear from you I wish to decide the matter at once. Please let me hear from you in receipt of this. <br><br> Most heartily yours, <br><br> R.G. McNiece <br><br> I think we shall have two pretty good classes the coming year. Emil is coming back and Albert Bloken is here.* <br><br><br> *Paragraph is written vertically along the left side of the letter. <br><br> |
