RESIGNATION OF SECRETARY KNAPP

Announcement was made February 25 from the office of the President, of the resignation of Mr. Gray Knapp as Secretary of the College, to take effect at the close of the college year.

In announcing this, President Hopkins said, "Mr. Knapp's resignation cannot but be a distinct loss to the College and to me personally. He came into the administrative work of the secretaryship immediately upon graduation in 1912, and has given loyal and, valuable service ever since. I have known of his desire to go ultimately into the field of business, and also of his sense of duty which has withheld him from accepting some one of a number of flattering and remunerative offers which have come to him from outside. Situations have arisen, however, in connection with the project with which he intended eventually to identify himself which make his availability for it necessary immediately, and I have said to him that I should not be willing to stand in the way of his doing the thing which plainly is most advantageous to him.

"Mr. Knapp, therefore, will be given leave of absence from March 1 returning to Hanover from time to time for certain specific responsibilities and his resignation will be accepted in connection with his office from which he cannot free himself at once, to take effect July 1."

Mr. Knapp graduated from Dartmouth in 1912 and from 1912-1914 was Secretary to the President and from 1914 to date has been Secretary of the College. While in college Mr. Knapp was a member of the Psi Upsilon fraternity. of Casque and Gauntlet, Round Robin, and of Palæopitus.

Mr. Eugene D. Towler of the present Senior class has been appointed secretary to the president. Mr. Towler is at present manager of the 1917 baseball team, is on the board of the Dartmouth and a member of Palæopitus, of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity and Sphinx Senior Society.
