PROFESSOR BINGHAM RESIGNS

Professor Walter VanDyke Bingham has resigned his assistant professorship of Psychology and Education at Dartmouth to become professor of Psychology at the Carnegie Institute of Technology at Pittsburg, his resignation to take effect in September. The department of Psychology at the Carnegie Institute, of which Professor Bingham will be in charge, teaches psychology in three out of the four schools which make up the institution. The courses are elected mainly by students who are planning to teach industrial and vocational branches. The department under Professor Bingham will also organize next year a bureau of mental tests for

research and for co-operation with the Admissions Committee, the Employment Bureau, and the department of Student Health.

Professor Bingham received the degree of A.B. from Beloit College in 1901, of A.M. from Harvard University in 1908, and of Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1908. From 1908 to 1910 he was instructor in Educational Psychology in the Teachers' College, Columbia University; from this position he came to Dartmouth in the fall of 1910. He is the author of numerous papers published from time to time in the Psychological Review, the Psychological Bulletin, and elsewhere. Professor Bingham has done much valuable work in building up the courses in practical psychology now offered in the College, and in the establishment of a psychological laboratory. In addition, he has served most efficiently for the past three years as Director of the Summer Session. While congratulating Professor Bingham on the larger opportunities which he will have in his new position, the members and friends of the College regret the loss from the faculty of so valuable a teacher and executive officer.
