CHANGES IN THE INSTRUCTION CORPS

Among the changes in the faculty at the beginning of the present year, probably that of greatest interest is the appointment of the Reverend J. H. Robinson to the Phillips Professorship which has been vacant since the resignation of the Reverend A. W. Vernon, three years ago, who went to Yale. Mr. Robinson will have charge of the chapel services also. He is a graduate of Princeton and of the Union Theological Seminary. He comes to Dartmouth from a seven years' pastorate at White Plains, N. Y. Before that he preached for six years at Pelham Manor, N. Y. Professor Robinson has an enviable reputation as a pleasing speaker.
