Joseph Bartlett '10, Dartmouth's blind student, is one of the representatives of the Perkins Institution for the Blind, at the Esperanto world conference at Oxford, England, this summer.

Instructor A. H. Sherer is spending the summer in study and travel through Germany, France and England.

Foster E. Guyer '06, who did graduate work at Dartmouth the past year, will study next year at the University of Paris. He is spending the summer in European travel.

Jean D. Gillette, a talented and ambitious member of the class of 1907, died June 17 at his home in Antwerp, N. Y. Mr. Gillette had been suffering with blood poison for many months, but his death was somewhat unexpected. Excellent in all branches of college work he was especially strong in debating and oratory.

The Daily Dartmouth was issued during Commencement week by Howard Edward McAllaster of Winnetka, Ill., and Lawrence Metcalf Symmes '08 of Winchester, Mass., the editor-in-chief and the business manager of the Dartmouth, respectively, for next year.

The Sphinx senior society held a dance Monday evening of Commencement week, and the Casque and Gauntlet senior society Tuesday evening.

Clarence P. Skillin '08 of Oak Park, Ill., has been reelected captain of the baseball team, and Arthur B. Shaw '08 of Joliet, Ill., has been chosen captain of the track team.

C. E. Beals '07 of Royalton, Vt., who was to be one of the Commencement speakers, was obliged to leave College during the examination period on account of ill health.

A bronze tablet bearing the following inscription has been placed in the vestibule of Wheeler Hall: "This building is named Wheeler Hall in memory of John Brooks Wheeler, whose liberality, courage and good counsel supported Dartmouth College in its hour of need." Mr. Wheeler was a native of Orford who, in 1819, when the College was in sore financial straits, gave sufficient money for the prosecution of its claims in the now famous Dartmouth College Case.

Charles Sheard, who assisted in the department of physics the past year, has been appointed instructor in physics at Tuft's College.

Judge Cross announces that the John Wyman Jones trust fund of $5000, which has been in his and President Tucker's hands for several years awaiting disposition, will be expended in the purchase of bronze doors for Webster Hall. Mr. Jones, of the class of '41, was a native of Enfield, who became a prominent lawyer in New York City. His son, Dwight A. Jones, a graduate of Yale, recently added $1000 to his father's gift, which, with interest, now amounts to $7000. The two doors will be 9 1-2 x 7 feet each, and will bear the names of the class.

The class of 1897, "President Tucker's class," did many original things during the recent Commencement. It issued a class paper, held the first decennial vespers, decreed that its reunion should be a "cold-water reunion,'' etc. The members wore a dainty badge bearing the numeral '97, beneath which was a medallion with President Tucker's picture and the words, "We entered with him."

Doctor Charles Hughes Johnson, who substituted this year for Doctor H. H. Home in the department of philosophy, has accepted the appointment of an associate professorship in the University of Michigan.

Prof. H. E., Keyes has moved into his new residence near the golf links.

The 1907 class-day book is the most beautiful that has yet been issued by a Dartmouth graduating class. It is a small volume bound in embossed leather, and contains the Commencement program in full, the class roll, officers, etc. The reading matter appears on a pale green background with white border, and the cuts afford a pleasing contrast on small bits of white background. The pictures are well chosen, representing two campus scenes, the Tuck Building, the College Church, College Hall, old Dartmouth and Rollins Chapel. On the cover is an embossed representation of Webster Hall. The volume is a distinct departure in the class-day book. In previous years all this information has been printed in a cheaper volume with the class parts. This year the class parts were issued in a cheaper volume by themselves.
