President Taft has nominated and the senate has confirmed George H. Moses, managing editor of the Concord Evening Monitor, as minister to Greece and Montenegro. Says the Boston Globe-. "In a high degree the appointment is to be regarded as a recognition of 'the scholar in politics,' for Mr. Moses, both at Exeter and at Dartmouth, won high rank as a Greek scholar. Among the 'transmittenda' at Dartmouth are the manuscripts of a series of translations which were made by him twenty years ago for the benefit of those whom he was tutoring in Greek, and which are models of painstaking and accurate scholarship. Upon graduation from College Mr. Moses seriously considered the question of accompanying Dr. Rufus B. Richardson, head of the Dartmouth Greek department, when he went to assume the directorship of the American School at Athens, but he made his way into journalism and politics instead, where he has been a conspicuous figure on the firing line in all of the hot campaigns in this state since 1889."
