Professor Morse who is now completing his fifteenth year as Musical Director of the College, withdraws from active service this spring. Since his coming in 1901 he has been closely identified with the musical interests of the town and College, directing the music of chapel, church, and orchestra, as well as arranging for the visit of many artists from outside, and supervising the work of the Musical Clubs. The esteem in which he is held is shown in the following minute adopted by the Church of Christ at Dartmouth College:
In view of the coming retirement of Professor Charles H. Morse, from college and community, the Church of Christ at Dartmouth College hereby places upon its record and communicates to Professor Morse its apprecia- tion of his fifteen years of faithful service as choir-master and organist. Through successive pastorates Profes-fessor Morse has aided the pastor by his good taste in selection of hymns, has maintained for the congregation high standards of church music, and, with great patience and faithfulness has trained a large number of singers from both community and college, and he has carried the influence of his own choir into the surrounding communities.
As he goes from us he will carry our gratitude and respect, and our cordial good wishes for himself and his family.
