PRESIDENT HOPKINS ELECTED PHILLIPS ANDOVER TRUSTEE

President Ernest M. Hopkins, of Dartmouth, was recently elected to the Board of Trustees of Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, one of the most important of the high-standing eastern preparatory schools, at which time the Phillips Bulletin commenting on the election carried the following editorial.

"The recent election of President Ernest Martin Hopkins, of Dartmouth College, to the Board of Trustees of Phillips Academy will have the cordial approval of all Andover men. In the first place, it renews and strengthens the friendly tie between the two institutions. It will be remembered that three of our ablest Principals,—Osgood Johnson, Samuel Harvey Taylor, and Cecil F. P. Bancroft,—were Dartmouth graduates and that one of our Founders, Dr. John Phillips, was also a generous benefactor of Dartmouth. In the second place, it adds to the Board a man who, although still young in years, has already shown himself to be a liberal, tolerant, and progressive leader in the educational world, a man, furthermore, keenly interested in current problems and rich in suggestive ideas. No one familar with the Board as it is now constituted can doubt that it represents a fine balance of professions and occupations, including as it does men with industrial, banking, legal, judicial, and educational interests. To the deliberations of this body, President Hopkins will, unless we are much mistaken, have something very definite and positive to contribute."
