The trustees of the College, devoting the major part of their meeting to consideration of the year's budget, voted four new faculty appointments, accepted the resignation of Professor H. E. B. Speight, professor of Biography, with appreciation of the value of his service to the College, granted leave of absence for the current year to H. J. Lockwood, professor of Power Engineering in the Thayer School, heard reports of committees of the trustees, and transacted routine business at their regular Fall meeting October so.

There was a full attendance at the meeting with the exception of C. B.

The election of John W. Harriman as assistant professor of Finance and Banking in the Tuck School was voted at the meeting. Appointments voted by the trustees included those of Norman W. Beck as instructor of Political Science, Clinton W. Root as instructor in Zoology, and Edgar J. Tuite as instructor in Electrical Engineering in the Thayer School.
