Prof. Snyder Chosen.

Grand Rapids, Mich., Feb. 12.—The agricultural college board elected Prof. J. L. Snyder, of Allegheny, Pa., to be president of the collgge, to succeed President Gorton. The election was made on the first formal ballot by a vote of 6 to 1, after two or three informal ballots had been taken. Prof. Snyder will enter upon his duties at the beginning of the new school year. The board decided to place on the market, beginning Feb. 28, the Agricultural College la.nds in Cheboygan, Antrim, Missaukee, Otsego, Charlevoix, and Kalkaska counties. A larger cash payment will be required to stop the practice of stripping the land after a small payment down, and then abandoning it.
