Show At Regent Evans' request I proceeded to New York on May 20th where together Regent Evans and l interviewed men at the Rockefeller Foundation, Carnegie Institute, Columbia University, Teachers College and University of the City of New York. We also interviewed Mr. Fisher of the Board of Regents of Yale University. Our search as above conducted developed four men whose names I unhesitatingly submit-for the consideration of this Board. These men are: Dr. Thomas Andrew Storey, Professor Milo Smith Ketchum, Dr. David Sneddon Dr. Frank F. Bunker I shall not here repeat the report of Regent Evans as to the age, scholastic degrees, positions held and other detail as to these men. I approach a consideration of them upon the basis of their early experience, scholastic training and scholarship, administrative experience, contact with practical problems in and out of school work, and contact with western development. To this I add such recommendations as are in the possession of the committee. DR. THOMAS ANDREW STOREY Dr. Storey spent practically the first thirty years of his life in the West. He has known in turn Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and California as a resident and student. He has lived in western farming communities, mining camps and cities. His scholastic training has been varied. A graduate of a Nevada high school, his B. A., M. A. and Ph. D. are from a western university. His M.D. from Harvard Medical School. His scholarship is unquestioned. Added to his opportunity to observe the Eastern and Western universities from the standpoint of a student he has been an assistant Professor at Stanford, instructor at Harvard and for fourteen years the head of a large department in the College of the City of New York. Outside of university work he has come in close contact with the State Government of the State of N ew York, as set forth in Regent Evans' report, and with the Federal Government as Executive Secretary for three years of the U. S. Interdepartmental Hygiene Board. This Board has rendered active service in most of the states and this service has been in a large measure done by co- Operation between his board and the State Universities. In this service $4,500,000 has been spent in the past 5 years.

He gives the impression of one who could exercise authority without command; of one who would control without repression, and would minimize friction in any organization which he managed.
