    TOLEDO, Oct. 14. — Toledo University authorities are jubilant over Professor Scott Nearing’s acceptance of their offer. The appointment, they say, is another instance of their desire to make the university of as much assistance as possible to the people. The appointment is in line with the social service plans of the university. Professor R. J. Colbert, Professor of Sociology in Toledo University, who has known Nearing for three years, said:
“Nearing is coming to Toledo to make good his ideas of the place a municipal university should hold in modern life. Nearing is a young man with a vision and he holds that vision of more value than a large income. Nearing sees in Toledo University great possibilities. He is coming to Toledo to help us build a great university, one that unites theory with practice and trains for life.
