PRESIDENT NICHOLS SPEAKS AT THE INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT FAIRCHILD

On Wednesday, May 24, President Nichols delivered the address of welcome at the inauguration of President E. T. Fairchild of the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts. There was a double fitness in the choice of President Nichols for this duty; not only is he the president of the largest educational institution in the state of New Hampshire, but he, like President Fairchild, is a Kansas man called to be the head of of institution. New England two generations ago gave of her best to the new west; the west is now loyally returning of her best to New England.

All of the speakers at President Fairchild's inauguration were representatives either of Kansas or of New Hampshire. The addresses sounded a note of high purpose and hopeful outlook for the agricultural institution. Dartmouth College joins with the rest of New Hampshire in wishing success in every way to the new president of her sister college.
