Kg-T-.And now another newspaper pub-
lisher has suggested Dr. W. B. Bizzell
M the outstanding man for the preei-
*ocy of the University of Texas.
Writing In his column “The Specta-
tgr”, Publisher Tom Whitehead of the
[ Jkrenham Banner-Press has this* to
“We note that thg University of
T«*aa regent* are still wrestling with
the problem of selecting a president
to succeed the late H. Y. Benedict
To us, the problem seems simple. In
O .ur opinion, the one , out-
i standing man for the place is Dr. W. B.
BMaell, president of the University of
Oklahoma. He to not only an execu-
tive of proved ability but a scholar
and a gentleman whose leadership
would give prestige to any institution
ho might head. Like coach Dana Bi-
No who now heads the Longhorn
football staff, Dr. Bizzell once serv-
- ad Texas A. A M. College with simi-
lar distinction. But our acquaintance
With the noted educator dates back
6V«n before that day to his presi-
dency of the College of Industrial
Arts at Denton. Under hl* guidance,
C.I.A took its first steps toward be-
coming the great institution it has
since developed into under leadership
of the late F. M. Bralley and the in-
. cumbent president, Dr. L H. Hub-
bard. The University could well af-
ford to obtain his services, if he can
-be coaxed away from Oklahomi
Where he has served with success.’
