New Presidents at some U. S. colleges last week:

To Oberlin College, at Oberlin, Ohio, went Dr. Ernest Hatch Wilkins, leaving the chair of romance languages at the University of Chicago. He succeeds Dr. Henry Churchill King, now president emeritus of Oberlin.

Punished. At Hampton Normal Institute, large Negro training school at Norfolk, Va., President James E. Gregg last week decided to expel four students (known as the "Big Four"), suspended 56 for the rest of the academic year, and placed about 150 on probation. They were the most recalcitrant of the 400 young men & women who the week before had quit the institute when lights in the cinema hall were kept bright to discourage improper practices.

Rockefeller Sons. At college last week, two sons of John Davison Rockefeller Jr., guarded since infancy from vanity of wealth, kept their modesty as they earned campus distinctions.
