Marriage of Ex-Secretary Hopkins
March, 1911

Mr. Ernest . Martin Hopkins, until this year Secretary of Dartmouth College, and Miss Celia Stone, of Hanover, were married on Thursday, February 2, by Dr. William J. Tucker, at the latter's residence on Occum Ridge. The Reverend Frank L. Janeway assisted in the ceremony. The couple were unattended at the wedding, and owing to the uncertainty of Mr. Hopkins' business engagements, no reception, was held. In company with Mr. and Mrs. Tibbetts, the latter a sister of the bride, the newly married pair dined informally with Professor and Mrs. Keyes and then set out on a two weeks' trip in New England and the Middle States. They will make their residence at 339 South Ashland Avenue, LaGrange, Ill.

Before her marriage, Mrs. Hopkins was for eight years private secretary to the President of the College, and was a well known and popular member of the faculty circle. She gave up her position here in December and spent a number of weeks with relatives in Connecticut, returning to her home in Hanover but a few days before the wedding.

Mr. Hopkins is a graduate of Dartmouth in the class of 1901, of which he was one of the most conspicuous members, having been editor of the Aegis, and of The Dartmouth as well as undergraduate member of the Athletic Council. Upon graduation he occupied the two offices of Graduate Manager of Athletics and of Secretary to the President. As the duties of the latter position in creased he was obliged to give his entire time to them, and in 1905 the title of his position was changed to that of Secretary of Dartmouth College. The marked executive ability which he showed in this capacity led his being called by the Western Electric Company to become manager of its educational department.
