Concerning the men added 'to the academic faculty, the following information may be off interest:

Professor Bingham graduated from Beloit College 1901, received his A.M. at Harvard and his Ph.D. at Chicago 1908. He studied last year at Berlin and comes to Dartmouth after a successful teaching experience at Columbia. Dr. Clarke graduated from Wesleyan College 1895, after which he spent a year in foreign study. During the following ten years he was professor of Latin at Fairmont College, Kansas. The next two years he acted as dean of Drury College, Missouri. He received his Ph.D. from Princeton last June. Doctor Hastings graduated from Dartmouth 1900, receiving his A.M. from the same institution in 1902. After two years of study at the American School at Athens, he accepted a preceptorship at Princeton. Last June he completed a year's teaching fellowship at the University of Wisconsin, where he received his Ph.D. Doctor Vaughan graduated from the University of Michigan 1903, and was granted his Ph.D. at Harvard in 1906. His teaching experience consists of two years at the University of Kansas, one year at the University of Michigan, and one year at Trinity College, North Carolina. In addition to this he has traveled somewhat extensively, has published "Gutierrez: El Trovador," and is at present engaged, in collaboration with Signor Alberto Cerbino, in writing a series of articles on Neapolitan Dialects for the Romanic Review. Mr. Waterhouse is a graduate of Harvard 1905; he received his Master's degree the following year. Since then he has been pursuing graduate studies at Harvard and teaching in a Boston preparatory school. Doctor Jones graduated from Cornell 1905, and received his Ph.D. from that institution last June. He comes to Dartmouth from a year of teaching at the University of Wisconsin, preceded by a year's service as preceptor at Princeton. Mr. Paine is a graduate of Penn College and has ac- complished a year of graduate study at Chicago. Doctor Hilkey graduated from Emporia College, Kansas, 1905; received his A.M. from Kansas University 1907, and his Ph.D. from Columbia 1910. At Columbia, Doctor Hilkey held successively a university scholarship and a fellowship; and won the Tappan prize in Constitutional Law in .1909. He is the author of the essay on the "Legal Development of Massachusetts during the Colonial period," recently published in the Columbia University Studies. Mr. Morris is a graduate of Harvard 1902. After three years of tutoring at Harvard, he taught for two years in Japan, and later engaged in journalistic work in the far east. In 1908-09, he taught English in the University of Kentucky. Last year he was professor of English at Whitman College, Washington. A. Karl Skinner, who assumes the position of secretary to the President, graduated from Dartmouth, 1903. As an undergraduate, his labors in the Dartmouth Christian Association produced such notable results of efficiency and prestige that, upon the completion of his course in the College, he was requested to continue his services to the Christian Association in the position of graduate sec- retary. This work he accepted and maintained successfully from 1903 to 1910. Last year he was engaged in special religious study at Yale. He knows the College thoroughly, understands its men, and is liked and respected by them. While broader in their scope, the new activities upon which he enters as secretary to the President are, in many respects similar to those wherein he has won deserved recognition.
