On the motion of Mr. Marden the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
The Alumni Council of Dartmouth College desires to make permanent record of its sense of loss through the death during the past winter of its secretary, Eugene Francis Clark, one of the most faithful and efficient servants of the college in a long history wherein efficient and faithful service has been the characteristic of a multitude of highly useful men. Coming to the College originally as a professor of the German language, Mr. Clark gradually acquired numerous duties of an administrative character which ultimately became his major activity, serving not only as secretary of the College organization but also as the secretary of all subsidiary administrative bodies affiliated therewith, and incidentally as the chief editor of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, which he had brought to a position of great use and excellence. A tireless worker, gifted with an unusually retentive memory, endowed by nature with all the graciousness of the true gentleman, he had come to be the chief link of connection between the thousands of Dartmouth Alumni and the administration of the college. By all alumni who knew him—even casually he will be forever remembered and forever esteemed; his example remains as an inspiration. The years of such men must always be limited by the inexorable decrees of nature, but their works abide as a monument more enduring than bronze. Wherefore as a part of its formal records the Alumni Council enters this testimony of its deep sense of loss, of its gratitude for the years in which it was permitted to enjoy the untiring service of this well beloved associate, and of its undying appreciation of Eugene Clark as a man and a friend.
In view of the fact that five of the present members of .the Council—Messrs. Carpenter, Chandler, Cutter, McKay and Priddy were about to retire from active service with the body by reason of the expiration of their several terms, resolutions were also adopted expressive of the deep appreciation felt by the Council for the valuable and faithful service rendered by them, of the regret which their associates felt at the conclusion of their terms of service, and of confidence that any of them will stand ready at any time to give the Council the benefit of their experience and advice at need.
The meeting then adjourned to the annual dinner in College Hall where the Council was privileged to hear President Hopkins and Mr. Chandler, one of the retiring members. Mr. Chandler spoke on behalf of the five retiring members of the Council and expressed his regret upon leaving the active participation in Council affairs.
President Hopkins discussed informally several of the matters which concern the College at the present time. He told of-the development of the physical plant as this has been carried on during the past year and as plans call for the continuation of its growth in the future. As usual, this meeting with the President formed the high spot in Council sessions.
