TRUSTEES MEET IN BOSTON

A meeting of the Trustees of Dartmouth College was held at the Hotel Touraine, Boston, Mass., January 2, 1923 at 8.30 o'clock in the evening.

There were present President Hopkins and Messrs. Parkhurst, Thayer, Hall, Lord, Blunt and Howland.

In Memory of Mr. Streeter

The President made mention of the death of Mr. Streeter, and the following minute was unanimously adopted:

It is with deep "sorrow that the Trustees make record of the great loss which has come to the College and to themselves personally in the death, on December 11th last, of Frank Sherwin Streeter, the senior member of the Board.

Elected a trustee in 1892 on the nomina- tion of the Alumni, and a life member of the Board in 1900, for thirty years Mr. Streeter gave a continuous and effective service to the College. Upon his foresight, wisdom and sound judgment his associates confidently relied, and those qualities had a vital part in shaping the policies of reconstruction and development that marked the period of his service. A man of strong will and determined purpose, Mr. Streeter was vigorous in the support of his own views, but subordinating these in the pursuit of a main purpose he often sought to harmonize conflicting interests. To his strong support and timely compromise was due, more than to any other one, the success of the movement for the representation of the Alumni on the Board of Trustees.

His deep love for the College was evidenced by his frequent visits to it, by his willingness to accept responsibility and by his unfailing performance of his duties as a trustee, and by his generous gifts as an alumnus, which, in addition to many current contributions, provided a noble organ for the chapel and a permanent fund for the department of music. The inspiration of his loyalty and the effect of his counsels, as well as that of his generosity, will be a lasting possession of the College.

Election of John M. Gile as Trustee in Placeof Mr. Streeter

The question of a successor to Mr. Streeter was briefly considered and it appearing that all were of one mind, a ballot was taken, and as each trustee present cast a ballot and all the ballots were for John M. Gile, he was declared unanimously elected a life trustee.

Appointment

Rudolp E. Langer was appointed instructor in mathematics for the academic year 1923-1924.

The President read a letter from Mr. Lewis Parkhurst accompanying a gift of $10,000 from himself and Mrs. Parkhurst to establish a fund for the care and maintenance of the Parkhurst Administration Building.
