HIGH OFFICE FOR M. B. JONES '94

Matt B. Jones '94 has been elected president of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company to succeed Colonel Philip L. Spalding, and assumed his new duties on February 1. Mr. Jones has been connected with the telephone organization for more than twenty years, and as first vice-president during the past year has directed the affairs of the company while Colonel Spalding was absent on military service.

Mr. Jones is widely known among the alumni of the College, who will rejoice with him in his latest success. After his graduation in 1897 from the Harvard Law School he entered the law office of Frederick P. Fish, but shortly afterward united with Samuel L. Powers '74 and Edward K. Hall '92 to form the law firm of Powers, Hall and Jones. One of the firm's principal clients was the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company and after six years Mr. Jones resigned from the firm to enter the employ of the telephone company as counsel. February I, 1917, he was made general counsel.
