RESIGNATION OF SECRETARY TOWLER

Eugene Davis Towler '17, secretary to the president of the College, has resigned his position in order to enter the service of the Government. Although he offered his services to the Government some time ago, he has just received his papers from the Surgeon General's office, giving him authorization for immediate induction into the gas defense service of the Sanitary Corps of the National Army.

Upon the resignation of Secretary Gray Knapp in the spring of 1917, Towler was appointed to fill the position as secretary to the president, while still a member of the senior class. He carried on his new position together with his undergraduate work through his senior year until Commencement in June, and since that time has given all his time to duties connected with the administration of the College.

For the time being no attempt will be made to actually fill the vacancy caused by his enlistment. As far as possible, however, Prof. J. L. McConaughy, secretary of the Committee on Admission, will assume the duties of secretary to the president, and will spend a part of his time each day in the secretary's office.
