THE NEW TRUSTEES

The present year sees a greater change in the Board of Trustees than any year in recent times. From a board totaling twelve members including the Governor of the State, who is a member by virtue of his office, three vacancies have occurred during the past year. These were caused by the death of Charles F. Mathewson on March 24, the resignation of Samuel L. Powers as life trustee, and the expiration of the term of service of Henry H. Hilton. Two of these were alumni trustees and the election of Lewis Parkhurst as life trustee to succeed Mr. Powers vacated another position to be filled by alumni vote. The voting to fill the positions held by Mr. Mathewson and Mr. Hilton took place in the spring and the results were announced at Commencement time.

In the place of Mr. Hilton, Henry L. Moore of the class of 1877 was elected. Mr. Moore is a native of Ohio but since his graduation from college a resident of Minneapolis. For nine years after graduation he was connected with the educational interests of the state, serving for four years as Assistant Superintendent of Schools of Minneapolis. Since then he has been connected with the law firm of Moore Bros., Brace & Co. Since 1895 he has been with the Minnesota Loan and Trust Co. as Secretary, Treasurer and Director, as well as being closely identified with the business interests of the Northwest. He has also been for twenty-five years Director and Treasurer of The Associated Charities of Minneapolis. His Dartmouth associations are close. He is the donor of the Guernsey Center Moore Fund and of equipment for the Fine Arts Seminar, and is also a member of the Alumni Council and a former President of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of the Northwest.

To succeed Mr. Matthewson the alumni elected Henry B. Thayer of the class of 1879. Born in Northfield, Vermont, Mr. Thayer remained in his native state but a year and a half after graduating from college and since 1881 has been with the Western Electric Company, successively as Clerk, Sales Manager, Manager at New York, Vice President, Vice-President and General Manager, and President since 1908. He has also been connected with various telephone, telegraph, and manufacturing companies but retired from all directorates in March, 1915, except that of the Western Electric Company, Northern Electric Company of Monttreal and the National Bank of Commerce. He is a member of the New York Chamber of Commerce, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and other societies and clubs.

At the meeting of the Alumni Association last June it was voted that the nominations for alumni trustee in the future should be made by the Alumni Council. It therefore became the duty of the Council in the summer to make the nominations for an alumni trustee to complete the unexpired term of Mr. Parkhurst. From the group so nominated Edward K. Hall of the class of 1892 was elected. Mr. Hall is a graduate of the Harvard Law School and is actively engaged in the practice of law in Boston as a member of the firm of Powers and Hall. Among his other interests he holds the position of VicePresident and Director of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, First Vice-President and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Boston Chamber of Commerce and President of the Berkeley Infirmary. He has been influential in Dartmouth affairs acting as a member of the Athletic Council from 1896 to 1904 and from 1907 to 1910, much of that period as President. He was also Chairman of the Committee on the Alumni Fund for a new Gymnasium and President of the Boston Dartmouth Alumni Association in 1912. He was likewise a member of the American Intercollegiate Football Rules Committee from 1908 to 1915, for the first three year as Secretary and for the last four as Chairman.
