Two members of the College faculty are away for the second semester on sabbatical leave of absence. Professor Updyke is at Johns Hopkins University, where he is delivering the Albert Shaw lectures on "Diplomacy." He expects to sail for Europe early in the spring to stay until the opening of the fall semester. Professor Bolser has also sailed for Europe and will spend most of the spring and summer in Strassburg.

Professor Colby will be away until the spring vacation, lecturing before the Law School of Boston University. Dr. Hilkey, for two years previously instructor in the Department of Political Economy, has returned for the second semester. He has been for the past semester in attendance at the University of Michigan Law School.

The foundation established by Mr. Tuck, and announced last Dartmouth Night has been filled by Professor Louis Klipffel, lately of the Lycee at Tourcoing. He becomes assistant Professor on "The Edward Tuck Foundation for Instruction in the Language and Literature of the French people." The purpose in Mr. Tuck's mind in establishing this chair was to give to Dartmouth undergraduates a "fuller understanding and appreciation of French culture and ideals." Professor Klipffel was selected for this position by the French Ministry of Public Instruction. He is of Alsatian ancestry, but was born and educated in Paris, where he attended L'Ecole Normale, receiving- the degree of Agrege des Lettres in 1912. Pie has also completed his service in the army, including- a year's service in Morocco. His work this semester will consist of lectures in French, and assisting in the Cercle Français.
