EDWARD W. KNIGHT '87 NOMINATED AS ALUMNI TRUSTEE

At the recent meeting of the Alumni Council held in Boston the name of Edward W. Knight '87 was placed in nomination as alumni trustee to succeed Henry L. Moore '77 whose second term in this office expires in June, 1925.

Mr. Knight has been a resident of Charleston, West Virginia, for most of the time since his graduation from college and since 1892 has been a member of the law firm of Brown, Jackson and Knight. He is also associated with many of the important business and civic activities of his district, being director and general counsel of the Virginia Railway Company and a director of the Kanawha Valley Bank, Central Trust Company of Charleston and the Trust Company of Norfolk, Virginia. He was president of the Dartmouth Alumni Association in 1917 and a member of the Alumni Council from 1916-22, serving as president during the last two years of his membership in that body.

According to the recent revision of the constitution of the Alumni Association the responsibility of nominating alumni trustees rests with the Alumni Council. Provision is made, however, for further nominations by the alumni at large. The section of the constitution as revised, dealing with this feature is quoted here- with :

"Said secretary shall also give notice, not less than four months before Commencement, and by publication in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, that the Council will nominate alumni trustee or trustees to take office on the first Monday after Commencement."

"Within two months after such publication in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE any one hundred alumni qualified to vote for the Council of Alumni may file with the said secretary a petition over their own signatures for the nomination of a qualified alumnus for the office of alumni trustee. Said secretary shall as soon as practicable after expiry of the period for nomination by petition send to each alumnus qualified to vote an official ballot containing the name of the alumnus nominated by the Council for the office of trustee and the name or names of candidates nominated by petition as aforesaid. No voting by proxy shall be allowed in voting for alumni trustees, and the polls shall close on June 10 before Commencement.

"If no candidates are nominated by petition as above set forth, no voting for trustee shall take place, and the alumnus nominated by the Council shall be the candidate of the alumni for the office of trustee."

According to this constitutional provision further nominations for petition may be made until February 1925. All papers should be sent to Eugene F. Clark, secretary of the Alumni Association, Hanover, N. H.
