The Board of Trustees at its spring meeting elected Arthur Howe, chaplain and football and hockey coach at Taft School, Watertown, Conn., as Assistant Professor of Citizenship and William A. Eddy, who is now Associate Professor of English in the American University, Cario, Egypt, as Assistant Professor of English on the Dartmouth faculty. These elections are among the seventeen additions to the teaching personnel of the College.
Mr. Howe was graduated from Yale in 1912 where he was captain of the football team his senior year and was active in other branches of athletics including hockey, baseball and crew. He returned to New Haven the following year as head coach of the Yale varsity football team. He later attended Union Theological Seminary and was ordained in 1916, following which he served at Loomis Institute as chaplain and teacher until 1919. At that time he succeeded Bishop John Dallas as chaplain at Taft School and also became coach of the football and hockey teams there. Citizenship, the subject which Mr. Howe will teach at Dartmouth, is a required study of one semester duration for all freshmen, and is principally designed as a course of orientation for the entering class.
Prof. Eddy graduated from Princeton in 1917 and served overseas as captain in the Marine Corps when he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. He has since received the M. A. and Ph. D. degrees at the Princeton Graduate School. While an undergraduate there he was active in student activities and played for three years on the varsity basketball team. At the American University at Cairo Prof. Eddy has experimented widely with the curriculum of the Department of English, of. which he was chairman. He comes to Dartmouth with a broad teaching and administrative experience.
