‘The cNew President Dr, Charles C. Seleeman assumed his duties as president of the University on the second of April in an unostentatious manner which gained tile immediate co¬ operation of the entire faculty and student body. Tlie new president takes the place of Hiram A biff Boa , who resigned last year after having been elevated to the office of Bishop by the general conference of the Southern Methodist Church. Dr, Seleeman is indisputably one of the most popular men in the city of Dallas, and his intimate association with the leaders of Ihe city’s life make him peculiarly fitted to fill the position which he now holds. The lie- ginning of his administration has been auspicious, and the University feels itself in strong and capable hands, hut not tyrannic hands, for Dr. Seleeman solicits advice and suggestions from all who are interested in tlie welfare and progress of the University, The board of trustees selected Dr. Selee- man without any nomination, it being found that lie had a majority of the votes on the first nominating ballot. Dr. Seleeman was bom on a Missouri farm in 187k He received his elementary education at Savannah, Mo., and at the academy of Central College. After high school graduation he attended Central Col¬ lege at Fayette, Mo., which later con¬ ferred the degree of Doctor of Divinity on him. The University of Southern Cali¬ fornia and Kentucky Wesleyan College also conferred this degree on him. Dr, Seleeman was an athlete in college, a ten second man and football quarter- hack, He was also prominent in debat¬ ing circles, representing Missouri in the then popular inter-state debate. Dr, Seleeman lias held many strong pas¬ torates, ... them some of the most im¬ portant in the country. In his twenty-six years in the ministry he has held pastor¬ ates at Olive Street, St Joseph; Kingdom House, St Louis; New Orleans; Trinity Auditorium, Los Angeles; and First Melho- rist Church, Dallas, where he has begun a million dollar church building. Dr. Seleeman has taken Masonic work in both the Scottish and York rites. He is a Sigma Alpha Kpsilon and a member of the Kiwanis Club, L | j I Q ROTVNDA .3 1
