DEATH OF DR. E. C. EVANS

Dr. Eldon Cobb Evans, for the past two years 'instructor in political science, died in Hanover September 26 of influenza-pneumonia. Upon returning to his work at the beginning of the year, he was seized with a bad attack of grippe, and although he was removed at once to the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital, pneumonia set in. Dr. Evans was a young man of great diligence and patience, and had proved an able teacher in his special field. He is survived by a wife and one son.

Dr. Evans was born in Oregon, Missouri, September 23, 1888. He graduated from the University of Missouri in 1910, receiving the degrees of B.A. and of B.S. in Education. He took his master's degree at the same institution in 1912, and then went to the University of Chicago for graduate study. He received his doctor's degree there in 1915, presenting a doctor's thesis on the Australian ballot. This thesis he soon after published under the title "A Short History of the Australian Ballot System in the United States," a book that won high praise from reviewers. He came to Dartmouth in the fall of 1915.
