The Boston Transcript of April 9 brings the information that William F. Geiger, for eighteen years superintendent of the Tacoma Public Schools, announces that he has accepted the professorship of education at Dartmouth, beginning in September. You will be interested in the following letter from Geig:

Dear Artie: You may have seen in the paper that I am going to Hanover as professor of education. The offer came to me a little while ago, and just as I was considering the pros and cons I received your letter with its plea for everyone to begin planning to attend the reunion in 1932. That decided me. There was no hope of getting to Hanover if I stayed here as superintendent, so of coursethe natural thing to do was to accept this opportunity to get to Hanover in ample time and to be there not only for this but for all future reunions.

GEIG

As this note has to go to press on April 10, of course I have not received this letter from Geig as yet, but I am quite sure it is on its way. If it isn't, it ought to be. He is certainly setting you all a good example. The class of '92 ought to be proud of its representation on the Hanover faculty, and I know we are all delighted that Geig is going to be back in the old town, where we shall have the opportunity of seeing him frequently. I am sure he considers himself open to congratulations.

Through the kindness of Rogers, I am able to give you news of Charley Kemp. The following item appeared in the Hanover Gazette of April 9:

WEDDING

KEMP—MILLER

"Romance invaded Alaska last month involving one of our local women, Mrs. M. A. Miller, who had been a resident of Hartford for the past 20 years, the second party involved being Charles L. Kemp, a graduate from Dartmouth College in the class of 1892, and also well known here in those days.

"On Friday, March 13, Mr. Kemp went to the dock at Seward, Alaska, to await the arrival of the S. S. Yukon, which had Mrs. Miller on board as a passenger.

"Mrs. Miller, who formerly was Miss Mahala Currier, and Mr. Kemp, who had been former schoolmates and friends in Vermont, were married in Seward on the same Friday by Rev. Mr. Hatton, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Reed, old friends of the Kemps. "On the following day, Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. Kemp left Seward in a train bound for Anchorage, the home of Mr. Kemp since the early days of '9B, where they were warmly welcomed at their new home on 6th and E. Sts. by friends of Mr. Kemp, and a dinner was awaiting them. They were given a sixpiece silver set by members of the Presbyterian church choir, of which Mr. Kemp had been director for several years.

"Although it is a very long way from Anchorage, Alaska, to Vermont, best wishes are extended to the newlyweds on their happy adventure."
