Dr. Taft To Be Prof. Emeritus

DR. TAFT TO BE PROF. EMERITUS

Settlement of Trouble in Dental Faculty

DRS. WATLING & BRIGGS

Have Sent In Their Resignations - An Effort Will be Made to Keep Up the High Standard of Dental Department

The troubles in the dental faculty have been settled by the board of regents. The protest of the alumni against the dismissal of Dr. Taft, who had faithfully served the University for 25 years, was listened to and it was a great tribute to Dr. Taft. The regents made Dr. Taft a professor emeritus, greatly lightened his work and gave him a slightly reduced salary. Dr. Watling's resignation was allowed to stand and Dr. Briggs' resignation was received. Considerable feeling was expressed in reference to Dr. Briggs by the alumni and it was on his account that his resignation was received.

In all probability a new dean will be selected at once for the dental faculty and the regents will undoubtedly devote considerable attention to building up the dental department, which has long been regarded as one of the best in the country. Dr. Watling's resignation will be greatly regretted by his former students, who told him in such regard.
