DEATHS IN COLLEGE COMMUNITY
November, 1914

The alumni will be saddened to learn of the death this fall of two residents of Hanover, who for many years have been faithful friends of the college. On September 18, Mr. H. H. H. Langill passed away at the age of sixty-five years. Mr. Langill came to Hanover in 1880 and began here his long-continued business of photography. His technical and artistic skill won him the patronage and approval of the many members and friends of the College during his twenty-five years of activity. His collection of pictures illustrative of the history of the life of Dartmouth throughout this period is of incalculable interest and value. He will be deeply missed by alumni and townspeople alike.

On September 19 death also came to Mrs. Olive Pollens, widow of Professor Louis Pollens. Professor Pollens was an instructor and professor in the College from 1877 until his death in 1895, teaching French and German and serving for eight years in the capacity of College Librarian. Mrs. Pollens, both during the life of her husband and since his death, has been a much respected figure in the life of the community. Many Dartmouth men who have gone out from the College in the last forty years will remember her with kindly affection.
