There were present President Hopkins and Messrs. Parkhurst, Thayer, Brown, Little, Howland, Dubois, Tuttle, Knight, McLane and Gray.

Date of Fall MeetingVoted: that the Fall meeting of the Board be held on' Monday, October 31, 1927, and on Tuesday, November 1, 1927.

Resignation and Election of Mr. Hoivland asTrustee.

The resignation of'Mr. Fred A. Howland as Trustee on completion of his term of service having been received and accepted, and a letter having been received from Eugene F. Clark, Secretary of the Alumni Association, stating that Mr. Howland had been nominated to succeed himself as Trustee, a ballot was taken, and Mr. Howland was unanimously elected by full vote as his own successor.

Resolution in appreciation of the gift to theCollege of Dick Hall's House.

Voted: that the Board of Trustees express their sense of deep obligation to Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Hall for the beautiful and vitally valuable building and equipment presented as a gift to Dartmouth College, commemorative of the membership in and affection for the College of their son, Richard Drew Hall of the class of 1927.

Dick Hall's House completely meets what for years has been a serious lack in the completeness of the College plant. It provides every facility for conserving or restoring health wherever or whenever this may be needful among members of the undergraduate body.

Utility could not more completely have been combined with attractiveness of design or with perfection of equipment. Whether in its intrinsic

worth or in the significance of the deep sentiment it embodies, this house is an appropriately devised monument to an admirable youth, the influence of whose life in the College, had he lived, is represented in this memorial and is projected into the lives of future generations of Dartmouth men.

Voted: To spread the letter on the records of the Board and that the proposal

made in the letter be accepted by the Trustees as conditions of the gift of Dick Hall's House. The letter was as follows:

The Hanover Inn,

June 17, 1927.

My dear President Hopkins : As you know Mrs. Hall and I have been busily engaged the last few- weeks putting furniture and other equipment into Dick's House, and in a general way this work is pretty much completed, although there will be some additions to be made during the summer in order to make the House absolutely ready for use in September.

In my previous letter having to do with the House and its use, I did not say much of anything about the movable part of the equipment and furnishings and perhaps now would be a proper time for me to make a few suggestions, which if they are not in every way entirely satisfactory to you and the Trustees we will be very glad to modify or withdraw as you may see fit. I am sure everybody connected with the present College administration fully realizes that we have tried in every way to surround this building with the atmosphere, the spirit and the feeling of a home and this is something that we hope can be preserved after we are gone.

We would like to suggest if this seems feasible to you that the following conditions should apply to the use of the movable equipment:

1. That the furniture, books and other movable equipment are not to be removed from the House.

2. That we may have the privilege during our lifetime of removing from the House furniture or other equipment and substituting therefor furniture and equipment which to us seems more suitable and appropriate for its purpose.

We would also like to make the following suggestions as to the use of the House:

1. That any graduates of the College taken sick while in Hanover may have the use of the House at the discretion of the Administration of the College under the same provisions that may be made for assigning to the House students who are ill or considered to be in need of care which can be provided for them in Dick's House.

2. That members of other colleges who are visiting in town (like members of athletic teams, etc.) may be assigned necessary for care in the House.

3. That official guests of the College if taken ill while in Hanover, may at the discretion of the Administration of the College be sent to Dick's House for medical care or treatment rather than to thp Mary Hitchcock Hospital.

We would like to suggest (and this is a matter that I have already discussed with you and know your own views)—that boys who are sent to Dick's House be assigned to such beds as the doctors may consider most suitable and proper for their needs and that there be no higher charge made for a bed in say the John Wheelock or the Dana Room than for a bed in either the Hopkins or the Bartlett Room.

In making these suggestions I am having in mind of course the time when there may be an entirely different college administration, and it seems to us that if some of these general principles could be settled for all time right now where there is no difference of opinion as to the real purposes and policies of Dick's House, it might help to preserve the present spirit in perpetuity.

Sincerely yours,

(Signed)
