Harvard graduate General Wood to head new Philadelphia university
Editorial and business department changes will decide whether the station should grow. General Wood, Harvard trained with an honorary LL D from Pennsylvania in 1902, will lead the university alongside Josiah H. Penniman as provost. The plan aims to split administrative and academic duties to handle rising workload, though dual leadership could clash and threaten success.

He did not issue a formal request, but his hint suggested satisfaction with Whitlock remaining in Brussels. Critics note many Republicans could fill the post, and Walter S. Brown of Toledo already figures for another senior diplomatic role, making a Toledo bid unlikely.
