Raleigh, Feb. 4 (AP)—Dr. Harry Woodburn Chase, president of the University of North Carolina, is en route to the Pacific coast where he will consider a proposal that he become president of the University of Oregon.
The offer of the western institution which has 4,000 students and is considerably larger than the North Carolina University, was made to Dr. Chase last summer, but he is understood not to have considered it at that time. But the Oregon institution has urged Dr. Chase to come to the coast for a conference, and he recently agreed.
The matter has been discussed between President Chase and Governor McLean, it was stated at the governor’s office today, and Dr. Chase told Mr. McLean that the matter was tentative both on his part and that of the University of Oregon. The matter also came up at the trustee’s meeting while Mr. McLean was out of town, it was said.
Dr. Chase is expected to be gone about a month. He succeeded the late Dr. Edward Kidder Graham as president.
Dr. Chase is understood to be the first choice by the Oregon University for the post among a number of men it has had under consideration.
