Dormitories Named

The two new dormitories which are being constructed to the west of Gile Hall have been named in honor of two men who served for many years as members of the Board of Trustees and whose contributions to the College were invaluable.

The dormitory to the extreme left is to be called "John K. Lord Hall" and will perpetuate the memory of Professor John K. Lord of the class of '68. The year after graduation Professor Lord received his first appointment, that of tutor in Latin. In 1892 he was elected full professor and he continued to serve in that capacity as a member of the faculty until the date of his retirement in 1917. Twice during his career he was called upon to serve as acting president, once during the Bartlett administration and several times during the period of President Tucker's administration from 1893-1909. In 1917, he was elected to membership on the Board of Trustees and served as Clerk of the Board until his death in the summer of 1926. Many years of his life were devoted to historical research in college and town history and the two volumes covering the period from 1815- 1925 will be known to generations in the future as a most remarkable and most complete story of the growth of Dartmouth and Hanover over a period of more than one hundred years.

The middle dormitory of the group will be called "Streeter Hall" in memory of Frank S. Streeter of the class of '74. General Streeter was intimately connected with the College from the time of his matriculation as an undergraduate until his death in 1922. One of the most influential men in the State of New Hampshire and one of the most active, he always found time for problems which concerned the College and for a period of thirty years he served on the Board of Trustees. This period covered the administrations of. President Tucker and President Nichols and the first six years of President Hopkins's administration. In addition to his devoted service to the College, General Streeter contributed generously in assisting the College financially and the beautiful organ in Rollins Chapel was his gift and carries his name.

A full report of the standing of the Alumni Fund on May 20 is given on another page in this issue of the MAGAZINE. The drive for the quota of $130,000, which is an increase of $15,000 over last year's goal, ends June 30. A second full report of all the contributors to the Fund up to and including June 12 will be mailed from Hanover June 17. This rotogravure-tabloid will be attractively illustrated and will contain a review of the year at Dartmouth in story and picture form. Gifts must be received in Hanover not later than June 12 if contributors' names are to be included in this report.
