BOOK OF THE INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT NICHOLS

A book under the title of "The Inauguration of Ernest Fox Nichols, D.Sc., LL.D., as President of Dartmouth College," has just been published, edited by Secretary E. M. Hopkins, and printed under the supervision of Prof. H. E. Keyes. The book consists of three parts aside from the general narrative of the introduction; the first is devoted to the inauguration in Webster Hall, the second to exercises at the laying of the corner stone of the new gymnasium, and the third to the dinner to the distinguished guests given at College Hall, by the Board of Trustees. All the speeches delivered at these different exercises are given in full, also a program and complete description of each event. The introduction to the book contains a history of the election of Doctor Nichols to the presidency, the arrangements made for the ceremonies, a list of the delegates and the institutions which they represented, and of the delegates from Dartmouth alumni associations and clubs.

Besides the frontispiece, a portrait of President Nichols, the book is illustrated by four full page cuts. The first picture shows the front of the academic procession, including Professor Laycock as chief marshal, President Nichols, Ex-President Tucker, Governor Quinby, and others. The second picture shows the senior class acting as escort. Next is the "Induction Ceremonial" taken in Webster Hall, and lastly a photograph of President Finley; Ex-President Tucker, and Ex-President Angell crossing the College Green.

The book is beautifully printed, the work having been done by the Rumford Press, at Concord. It has been distributed to the delegates, guests, representatives of the classes, and members of the college choir and orchestra. Copies of the book are now on sale at Secretary Hopkins' office for one dollar each.
