New Life Trustees
WILLIAM W. GRANT '03 of Denver, Colo., and Edward S. French '06 of Boston were elected Life Trustees of the College at the annual fall meeting of the Board of Trustees in Hanover on October 16. The elevation of these two Alumni Trustees, both serving second terms of five years, was made to fill the life vacancies created by the resignation of Lewis Parkhurst '78 of Winchester, Mass., and the recent death of Col. Clarence B. Little '81 of Bismarck, N. D. Nominations for the two Alumni Trustee vacancies will be made by the Alumni Council.
Mr. Grant, who was first elected to the Board in 1930 to fill an unexpired term, is a member of the Denver law firm of Grant, Shafroth and Toll and is prominent in the political and legal affairs of Colorado. Mr. French is president of the Boston and Maine Railroad and has been a member of the Board since 1935, when many years of alumni leadership culminated in his election as Alumni Trustee.
NEW COMMITTEE HEADS
Revision of the standing committees of the Trustees was announced by President Hopkins as a result of the Board vacancies. John R. McLane '07 of Manchester, N. H., was named chairman of the Executive Committee, succeeding Mr. Parkhurst, and Victor M. Cutter '03 of Newton, Mass., was named head of the Committee on Investments in place of Mr. McLane. Other members of the Executive Committee are President Hopkins, Mr. French, and Dr. John F. Gile '16 of Hanover.
As other items of business on a docket devoted largely to the 1941-42 budget and other financial matters, the Trustees granted ten degrees, approved leaves of absence for four faculty members, and ratified the appointments of Dr. Nathan T. Milliken as Acting Medical Director and of Dr. Joseph G. Pollard '24 as Assistant Medical Director for the College. Also approved was the election of Max A. Norton '19, bursar, as treasurer of the Athletic Council for 1941-42.
The bachelor's degree, as with the Class of 1941, was voted to Adolphe W. English, Waterbury, Conn.; Robert V. Flouton, New York City; Lester B. Gordon Jr., Verona, N. J.; Donald F. Hagen, East Orange, N. J.; William E. Holler Jr., Birmingham, Mich.; Franklin A. Munsey, Swampscott, Mass.; George E. Sexton, Watertown, Mass.; Robert W. Sherwin, Haverhill, Mass.; and Gilbert E. Stokes, Haverhill, Mass. The board also granted the degree of Master of Commercial Science from the Tuck School to Wayland Avery Jr. '40 of South Pasadena, Calif.
The Trustees granted an extension of leave to Prof. Nathaniel G. Burleigh '11 of Tuck School, who is filling a Washington defense job, and granted leave for the remainder of the year to Prof. John W. Harriman of Tuck School, who recently left to join the OPM staff also. Leave for the full year was granted to Prof. Francis A. Linville of the Economics department and to Charles E.
