GIFT TO AMHERST COLLEGE

While arranging some of the manuscript material in the possession of the College library, the librarian. Mr. Goodrich, recently found an empty envelope which from its endorsement appears once to have contained a letter from Lord Geoffrey Amherst to Eleazar Wheelock. This envelope bears a seal of Lord Amherst in a perfect state of preservation. Investigation on the part of authorities at Amherst revealed the fact that Amherst had no such seal in her possession; consequently President Nichols sent the one discovered here to President Meiklejohn with the following greeting: "Dartmouth takes great pleasure in presenting Amherst College with this valuable relic, associated with the past of both colleges."
