Young Educator Will Teach

Dr. John D. Hicks, for the last

resignation, effective Aug. 31, ac
cording to a statement given out
by Chancellor E. A. Burnett. Dean
Hicks goes to the University of
Wisconsin as professor of Ameri

A desire to be known as a his
torian rather than as a college
dean prompted Dr. Hicks to ac
cept the Wisconsin offer according
to Chancellor Burnett who re
ceived his formal resignation
Thursday. The resignation will
probably be considered at the next
meeting of the board of regents on
June 6. No steps to fill the posi
tion can be taken until after that
time.
Dr. Hicks, in his letter of resig
nation, 30t forth four reasons for
accepting the Wisconsin offer. His
iot rnasr.n was that of an imme
diate salary increase; second,
higher salary maximums at i
consin offer grearer opportunity
for salary increases: third, the
change permits him to devote all
of his time to the "more interest
ing and more important tasks of
teaching and research," and
fourth, the library facilities at
