DARTMOUTH'S CHIEF ENGINEER RESIGNS
March 1919 HOMER EATON KEYES

The College regretfully announces the resignation of Chief Engineer S. C. Rogers to take effect July 1. Mr. Rogers came to Hanover in the service of the College in December, 1904, fourteen years ago, when the newly constructed central heating plant was still a pioneer experiment in its field. The demonstrated success at Dartmouth of a central installation carrying light and heat to a number of scattered buildings and the consequent almost universal adoption of similar systems elsewhere, are largely attributable to the ability, conscientiouness and unflagging industry which Mr. Rogers brought to a new and comparatively unfamiliar task.

In the past few years Mr. Rogers has had the sagacity to forecast local possibilities in the automobile business, and to make thrifty plans accordingly. The present dimension and future promise of the establishment which he thus founded are such, he believes, as to claim his undivided attention. The soundness of his judgment in this seems beyond question.

He will continue in charge of the College heating and lighting plant until his successor is appointed, on or about July 1, and will thereafter be available for consultation purposes if need arises. ,

As he withdraws from his long and valuable relationship with the College, Mr. Rogers carries with him the sincere respect and good wishes of all its officers.
