Candidates for Alumni Trustee
The polls' now open for the election of alumni trustee to succeed Judge Wallace will close at Commencement. While circulars containing the list of nominations for the vacancy have been sent to all the alumni, the names of the candidates with brief sketches of their careers are here reprinted as a matter of record.
It will be recalled that the board of trustees of the College consists, in accordance with the terms of the College charter, of twelve men. Of these the President of the College is one, the Governor of New Hampshire is another. Of the whole body, seven must be citizens of New Hampshire. Five members of the board are elected by alumni of the College for a period of five years each, their terms being so arranged that one member is elected each year. The other members are elected for life by the trustees themselves. It so happens that, in the present instance, the vacancy to be filled by alumni vote is that of one of the seven New Hampshire representatives. Hence all of the candidates named are from this state:
