It is announced that George Ade, the alumni member of the board of trustees of Purdue university, has tendered his resignation to Governor Samuel M. Ralston. No reason is given as to why he resigned.

The election will take place at the annual meeting of the alumni to be held in June. Mr. Ade is the first member of the Purdue alumni to serve as a member of the board of trustees and has held the office six years. He is perhaps the most illustrious of the Purdue alumni and has always taken a deep interest in the affairs of the university. While the announcement of Mr. Ade’s retirement was only made known Sunday, there is already a movement on foot toolect Hon. Henry H. Vinton, judge of the Tippecanoe county superior court, as his successor.
