Resolution on the Death of Dr. William J.Tucker.

Resolved that in thankfulness for his leadership, in gratitude for the vision he has given us, with love and with reverence for his memory the Board of Trustees of Dartmouth College write upon its record its sorrow in the passing of William Jewett Tucker, Refounder of the College.

To his memory we again pledge ourselves, so far as in us lies, to the perpetuation of those ideals established and to the works he began.

Resolution on the D'eath of Professor John K.Lord.

Resolved that the Board make record of its sense of loss in the death since the last meeting of John K. Lord of the Class of 1868, a member of the faculty of the College from 1869 to 1916, acting President in 1892-1893, and a member of the Board of Trustees since 1917. Mr. Lord died on June 26, 1926 in the fullness of years. He was a teacher of sound scholarship, discharged with success on various occasions the difficult duty of assuming responsibility for the temporary administration of the College, and his name will be permanently connected with the name of the College as the writer of its history. He brought to this Board upon retiring from active full time duties in 1917 an intimate knowledge and judgment which such a record of service to the College alone could give. He was ever faithful in the performance of his duties and considerate of the opinions of his fellow trustees, who hereby record their deep appreciation of the values which he brought to the Board in his acquaintanceship with Dartmouth affairs and in his affectionate solicitude for her highest welfare.
