E. K. Hall Joins Faculty

E. K. Hall '92, vice-president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and donor of Dick's House, will resign his position with the telephone company to become associated with Dartmouth College as Lecturer on Industrial Relations and Management in Tuck School, according to an announcement made recently by Dean W. R. Gray of Tuck School.

This association with the College comes in accordance with long-standing plans of Mr. Hall, whose interest in Dartmouth has been manifested in the donation and planning of Dick's House, in his activity in the establishing and development of the Athletic Council, and his service as a trustee from 1915-1923.

Mr. Hall has a distinguished record as a lawyer and business executive. A graduate of Dartmouth in 1892 and of the Harvard Law School four years later, he began the practice of law in Boston and was associated with the late Samuel L. Powers in the firm of Powers and Hall. After achieving distinction as a member of the Massachusetts bar, he gave up active legal practice to become vicepresident of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company.

In 1917 he left Boston to accept a vice-presidency with the Electric Bond and Share Company. Following a period of war service as Business Director of the Committee on Education and Special Training in the War Department, he returned to the Bell System in 1919 as vice-president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.

Widely known for pioneer work in the promotion of constructive policies affecting personnel and industrial relations, he retires from business with a broad and rich experience. As an authority in the field to which he will continue to devote himself as a writer and teacher, he is qualified to make notable contributions to business education and the literature of business management.

A leader in the establishing of the Dartmouth Athletic Council, Mr. Hall served several terms as president of that body. Since 1911 he has served as chairman of the intercollegiate football rules committee and he has long been active in the development of football as an intercollegiate sport.
