Trustees Meet
SUSPENSION OF THE Senior Fellowships for the duration of the war was voted by the Board of Trustees of the College at its annual fall meeting in Parkhurst Hall
on October 22. At the same time the Board made the Class of 1926 Fellowship a graduate rather than an undergraduate award, and also adopted the recommendation of Palaeopitus that the Barrett Cup award be withdrawn for the time being.
In proposing to the Trustees that the Senior Fellowships be temporarily discontinued, President Hopkins stated his belief that these highest undergraduate awards, designed to foster self-direction in education, have lost their significance in the present circumstances of war.
The Class of 1926 Fellowship, which has heretofore enabled a member of the senior class to make a first-hand study of public affairs in some political center, will in the future be awarded to a recent graduate of the College for the same general purpose. It will provide $750 annually and will continue to be given anonymously in the name of the Class of 1926.
Aside from discussion of general war problems and budgetary questions for the present year, the docket of the Trustees' fall meeting was routine. It included the ratification of faculty appointments and leaves already announced, the acceptance of a number of faculty resignations, the granting of degrees in course, and the annual fall announcement by President Hopkins of the standing committees of the Trustees for the year.
The faculty resignations accepted included that of Dr. Walter B. Lancaster as Professor of Ophthalmology and Chief of Staff of the Dartmouth Eye Institute, effective December 1. Other resignations were those of Arthur B. Hillegas, instructor in Botany; Walter E. Bezanson, instructor in English; Irving S. Fisher, instructor in Geology; Ray L. Watterson, instructor in Zoology; Richard L. Weaver, College Naturalist; Philip A. White, Curator of the Carpenter Art Galleries; and Charles J. Gaa, assistant professor of Accounting and Finance, Tuck School.
The Board voted bachelors' degrees to the following members of the Class of 1942: Herbert A. Dingwall Jr., New York City; Wallace J. Farr, Bradford, Vt.; Robert G. Hayssen, Milwaukee, Wis.; Henry S. Reynolds, Grosse Point, Mich.; and David F. Teahan, Holyoke, Mass
