REMAINS OF LATE PROFESSOR HITCHCOCK BURIED AT HANOVER

The ashes of Professor C. H. Hitchcock, formerly professor of geology at Dartmouth, were interred in Hanover. Just a year ago Professor Hitchcock died in Honolulu.

Charles Henry Hitchcock was born at Amherst, Mass., on August 23, 1836. He was the son of the president of Amherst College and it was from that institution that he took his A.B. In 1868 he became professor of geology and mineralogy here at Dartmouth, and continued in that capacity until 1908. In the winter of 1870-71 he headed the expedition which occupied Mt. Washington and established the first high mountain observatory in the United States. Professor Hitchcock is best known as a compiler of several geological maps of the United States, and is famous for his research work in technology, geology of chrystalline schists, and glacial geology. He also was one of the founders of the Geological Society of America.
