PROFESSOR E. J. BARTLETT RESIGNS FROM FACULTY

Professor Edwin Julius Bartlett, Dartmouth 1872, New Hampshire professor of Chemistry in the college since 1888, has handed to the trustees his resignation.

The resignation ends a period of service to Dartmouth which began in 1878 when "Bobby" Bartlett came to Dartmouth as associate professor of chemistry in the second year of the administration as president, of his father, Samuel Colcord Bartlett (1877-1892). He was elected professor in 1883 and received the New Hampshire professorship five years later.

Professor Bartlett received his master's degree from Dartmouth soon after his graduation and won the M.D. degree at Rush Medical College, now incorporated in the University of Chicago, in 1879. Before he came to Dartmouth as a faculty member he taught a year at Monson Academy, Monson, Mass., two years in the Glencoe, Ill., high school and two years more in Lake Forest Academy and University (Ill.).

The years of Professor Bartlett's connection with Dartmouth College he has filled with many activities apart from the specified labors of the curriculum. He has been much in demand as a speaker, the most recent instance of his proficiency in this regard being the sesqui-centennial exercises last autumn. His address at the Webster Hall conclave was one of those which will be delightfully and vividly remembered by everyone who was present.

Professor Bartlett has been a trustee of the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital since it was established. In 1913 he was a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, serving on important committees and holding the chairmanships of the committee on public health. His services as delegate to the recent New Hampshire constitutional convention and as president of New Hampshire Alpha of Phi Beta Kappa in 1918-19 'are among the current evidences of his versatile ability.

Professor Bartlett expects to remain for the present in Hanover.
