available material had been made and studied. In this connection we have been fortunate in having the privilege of consulting with leading educators in various parts of the country, both with reference to the qualifications of available men and with reference to our particular needs and the advisable policy to follow. We have received numerous applications both from within and without the State of Indiana, and have studied the qualifications of each applicant. In addition, we have received numerous recommendations with reference to men in all parts of the country who have not applied. These recommendations have been investigated and studied in each instance. A substantial amount of correspondence has been carried on with a number of candidates and several have been personally interviewed.

From this investigation we have arrived at the opinion that taking into consideration the advantages of appointing a man thoroughly familiar with our school system no one so adequately meets our requirements as Mr. Morgan. We have attached much importance to the steady and smooth continuation of the present system without substantial renovations and turnovers. The situation has changed greatly since the appointment of Mr. Stetson. A new system was then a necessity. It was inaugurated and under his wise leadership we have steadily advanced, and are now advancing. Out greatest need is for a man who can continue that advance along similar lines, with no major interruptions. We have every confidence that Dr. Morgan can and will do this. His character, integrity and sound judgment are beyond question. His appointment places the leadership of our school system in safe and sure hands.
