"Denver, Colo., Sept. 28, 1919.

"Dear Mr. Hopkins:

"I have had some correspondence with Mr. Keyes of late about endowing a graduate fellowship in the English Department in memory of my son, R. C. Campbell, Jr., who died in the influenza epidemic last October in Hanover. Mrs. Campbell and I are now prepared to make this offer if it is acceptable to the trustees.

"Our proposition is to turn over to the College $20,000 worth of Liberty Bonds as a perpetual endowment of such a fellowship, to be known as the Richard Crawford Campbell, Jr. fellowship.

"*****It has seemed to me that the 150th Anniversary was a good time to make special gifts, and it has also seemed a good time to make gifts in Liberty Bonds in which so large a proportion of available capital is at present tied up.

"Possibly there are others to whom suggestions of this kind could be made. I thought perhaps the Council could interest itself along that line. However, Mrs. Campbell and I are prepared to act as above as soon as you will let us know that our offer is acceptable.

"Sincerely,

"(Signed) R. C. CAMPBELL

"President E. M. Hopkins, "Hanover, N. H."

Richard Crawford Campbell, Jr. FellowshipAccepted

On motion of Mr. Lord it was

Voted that the Trustees accept, on the terms proposed, the offer of Mr. .R. C. Campbell of Denver, Colo., for himself and Mrs. Campbell, of $20,000 in Liberty Bonds as an endowment of a graduate fellowship in the English Department, to be known as the "Richard Crawford Campbell, Jr. Fellowship", and they here-by express to Mr. and Mrs. Campbell their grateful appreciation of so generous and timely a gift, which links the name of their son in lasting memory with the work of the College.

Resignation of Professor John V. Hazen
