FACULTY PUBLICATIONS

A rather unusual class report has just come from the pen of Professor L. B. Richardson '00. This is entitled A Report for 1941of the Class of KJOO Dartmouth College, compiled by the Secretary September 1941. This finely printed and illustrated bound volume of 159 pages contains the usual vital statistics and sketches of the class such as appear in most class reports. The unique and more valuable feature of this report, however, is a sketch by the Secretary entitled DartmouthCollege, 1896-1900. The 35 pages in this chapter are filled with information about undergraduate life, the college of those days, together with most interesting sketches of town characters and members of the facultyinformation that will be of general interest to all alumni and friends of the College. It is to be hoped that other class historians will follow Professor Richardson's example and incorporate in their reports similar historical material. The volume contains as a frontispiece a portrait of the late Natt W. Emerson, Secretary of the class from 1915 to 1935, at which time Professor Richardson took the helm.
