H. P. JACKSON, PRESIDENT OF BANKERS INDEMNITY
HAS MADE A REAL SUCCESS
Resigns as Head of the Norwich UnionIndemnity to Take New Position
Harold P. Jackson, president of the Norwich Union Indemnity since 1926, has resigned to become president of the Bankers Indemnity of Newark, which is the running mate of the American of Newark. C. Weston Bailey, president of the American, who has been acting as president of the Bankers Indemnity, retires from that office to allow Mr. Jackson to have the premier position.
Mr. Jackson is a graduate of Dartmouth and is very active in the alumni of that college. He became connected with the American Fidelity in 1911 and later served the New England Casualty, Zurich and Hartford Accident. Following the war he rejoined the Hartford Accident and later became superintendent of the claim department of the Norwich Union Indemnity. Successively he became assistant secretary, vice-president and then president. He is regarded as one of the most competent of the younger executives. He is a student of insurance, a popular man personally and is well equipped to expand the Bankers Indemnity. The Bankers Indemnity thus puts in charge of its work a man of splendid equipment and with his associate officers will be able to carry the company into a wider activity.
Harold P. Jackson will, on May 15, retire as president and general manager of the Norwich Union Indemnity, of New York, to assume the presidency and a directorship of the Bankers Indemnity.
On the assumption of the new office, by Mr. Jackson, C. Weston Bailey, president of the American and who has acted as president of the Bankers Indemnity since August last, will become chairman of the board of the latter.
The Northeastern News, in the issue of May 1, has an interesting article on Jim Ingalls. He has been serving for three years as chairman of the Industrial Engineers Dept. It takes some article like this to find out what a fellow has been doing. The following extract from the article may be interesting to many who haven't known in detail just what Jim was doing.
"Professor Ingalls began his technical work in high school when he elected the Manual Training Course. He graduated from Dartmouth with a B.S. degree in 1910 and after two years at the Thayer School of Engineering, the graduate school for engineers at Dartmouth, he served as Junior Topographer with the United States Geological Survey. While connected with the Geological Survey he spent most of his time mapping out the Rocky Mountain regions located in the southeastern part of Idaho. He has spent five field seasons in Vermont; two were with the city engineer at Barre and the other three with the highway engineers.
"In 1912 he served as instrument man with the Southern New England Railroad, working in Brimfield, Mass. The following year he traveled to Porto Rico where he took over the duties of engineer with the Central Aguirre Sugar Co. In 1914 he was resident engineer with the Maine Central Railroad while they were in the act of building the Kennebec River Bridge.
"Shortly after this he went in business with his father under the firm name of J. F. Ingalls, Inc. Up until the time of his father's death he served as manager but was later promoted to treasurer and finally president.
"Professor Ingalls is a member of many engineering societies. He is president of the Boston Chapter of the Society of Industrial Engineers and faculty adviser for the student branch of the society."
