HARRY A. WELLS RESIGNS SUPERINTENDENCY

The resignation of Mr. Harry A. Wells as Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, has been announced to take effect July 1, 1920.

Mr. Wells has allied himself with Mr. J. Fredrick Larson under the firm name of Larson and Wells, Architects and Engineers, and in conjunction with Mr. Larson will devote himself to the designing of industrial and domestic structures calling for the combined skill of engineer and architect. The firm ex- pects to specialize in institutional work.

Mr. Wells came to the College in January, 1913, as Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. He had previously received his de- gree from Dartmouth in 1910 and from the Thayer School in 1911. After graduating from the Thayer School he served with George F. Hardy, Mill, Civil, and Hydraulic Engineers, New York City, in whose behalf he made several power and mill development surveys in Newfoundland and Canada, and was resi- dent engineer on the construction of several paper mills.

In the course of his work as superintendent for Dartmouth he has been in direct charge of the labor forces of the institution and has supervised the engineering connected with all the new construction. The layout of the Col- lege storehouse and yards was of his devising, and the structural engineering in connection with the new Topliff dormitory is his.

For six years Mr. Wells has been a faithful and competent officer of the College. He has maintained a harmonious and smoothly work- ing organization and has accomplished his maintenance program with promptitude and economy. He continues his work for the Col- lege until July 1 with the understanding that he is free to undertake such outside engage- ments as are involved in his new partnership.
