NOTES ON RETURNING FACULTY MEMBERS

The headquarters building of the college of letters at the university conducted for American soldiers at Beaune, France, was located on Dartmouth street. This is related by Prof. F. M. Anderson who has returned to his work in the history department. Professor Anderson spent a year in service overseas. He was attached first to the peace commission and later to the instructing staff of the university. After the A. E. F. University was closed Professor Anderson spent three weeks travelling in Northern France. He covered about one half of the former battle line.

Professor W. H. Sheldon has returned to his work at Dartmouth after spending a year, during which he had leave of absence, teaching psychology, ethics and logic in the College of the City of New York. Professor Sheldon filled the place at C. C. N. Y. of Professor Marsh who was a war time worker for the Young Men's Christian Association.

Professor Fred Parker Emery, chairman of the' English department has resumed his work at Dartmouth after a year's absence. Abnormal wartime conditions and the enlistment of upperclassmen so reduced demand for advanced courses in English literature a year ago that Professor Emery was loaned to Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There he conducted courses much the same as those he gives at Dartmouth.

Work for the Canadian department of justice occupied the time of Professor. E. G. Bill, of the mathematics department, during his absence from Dartmouth last year. He was attached to the administrative forces operating under the military service act, and became director of the division of statistics in the Ottawa, Ont., office of the conscription bureau. Professor Bill has resumed his work in Hanover.

Professor C. R. Lingley, who has returned to his work in the history department at Dartmouth, spent his leave of absence during the past year adjusting claims that arose when the war department broke its S. A. T. C. contracts. Claims amounting to $15,000,000 were settled. His special task was to pass on the justice of settlements with educational institutions after adjustment boards had made them. Dartmouth men with whom Professor Lingley was associated in this work included E. K. Hall, H. H. Hilton and Professors W. R. Gray and Keir.

Professor E. B. Woods of the economics department at Dartmouth served as an administrator of awards under the War Labor Board during the one year leave of absence from which he has just returned. He was chief administrator of a settlement made between the Bethlehem Steel Co. and its men which involved $1,500,000.

Censoring the unfortunate remarks made in letters home after the armistice by American soldiers eager to leave France was a principal duty of Dr. Courtney Bruerton of the French department during his service overseas. Dr. Bruerton was connected with the censor bureau at American general headquarters. He is resuming teaching at Dartmouth this fall.

Soldiers in American camps showed a real interest in art, despite predictions that they wouldn't, according to Professor G. B. Zug, who has resumed his duties as head of the Fine Arts department after a year's absence. Professor Zug lectured in camps, on art, as a representative of the Y. M. C. A. When his health began to show the effects of the strain he devoted himself to outdoor work for the rest of the year.

Professor E. R. Greene has postponed for the time being his trip to Spain and has resumed his work as a member of the Dartmouth faculty.
