President Hopkins was elected a member of the board of directors of the National Life Insurance Company on April 11. He succeeds William W. Stickney, former governor of Vermont, who died last December 15 after thirty years' service as a director. The election of President Hopkins took place at an adjourned meeting of the policy holders of the insurance company held at the home office in Montpelier.
The announcement made note of the fact that Mr. Stickney was a neighbor of the late Calvin Coolidge in Plymouth, Vt. Mr. Coolidge was succeeded as a director of the New York Life Insurance Company by another college president, Dr. James Rowland Angell of Yale.
