Trustee Meeting

Vernon was accepted with appreciation of the value of the service which he has rendered to the College. The election of Otto E. Schneibs as assistant professor of Physical Education was announced, and five new appointments were made. A number of leaves of absence were granted, and re-elections and reappointments were voted. Business submitted by' the treasurer was considered, and reports were heard from the Executive Committee, the Committee on Degrees, the Committee on the Physical Development and Maintenance of the Plant, and the Committee on Investment.

The trustees voted the appointment of Arthur F. Dittmer as research fellow in Physiological Optics in the Medical School, with the rank of instructor; Donald Stewart Allen as instructor in Chemistry; Herbert R. Sensenig as instructor in German; Richard K. Irons as instructor in History; Morris B. Storer as instructor in Philosophy and Comparative Religion; and Norman K. Arnold as instructor in Zoology.

Leighton, instructor in Greek and Latin; and Frederick K. Sparrow Jr., instructor in Evolution, this being an extension of his leave for the current year.

Professor Vernon, who submitted his resignation in order to continue writing in which he is engaged, came on the Dartmouth faculty first in 1904 as Professor of Biblical Literature on the Phillips Foundation, a post which he held until 1907, when he went to Yale as professor of Practical Theology. He later held a professorship at Carleton College, returning to Dartmouth in 1924 as professor of Biography, a post which he has held until the present time.
