THE PRESIDENT'S ENGAGEMENTS

On August 27, President Nichols returned from Europe and on the next day was one of the speakers at the dedication of the Webster birthplace. On September 29, with Mrs. Nichols, he attended the funeral of Professor Eastman in Andover, N. H. His words at the funeral appear elsewhere in this number. On October 3 he presided at the celebration of Dartmouth Night, and on October 12, he was the speaker at the funeral of Professor Richardson in Rollins Chapel. Duties connected with the opening of College have prevented his accepting other invitations to speak during the month.
