College Service

COLLEGE SERVICES, held in Rollins Chapel and sponsored by the College, the Church of Christ, and St. Thomas Church for the benefit of students, faculty and townspeople, have brought to Hanover three prominent members of the ministry since the present college year started. The most recent preacher, on November 21, was Lieut. Commdr. Carl Knudsen, Navy chaplain to the reserve officers' training units at Harvard University.

The first College Service was conducted on August 22 by Dr. Douglas Horton, Minis ter-at-Large of the National Council of Congregational Churches, and a Navy chaplain in the last World War. The second service, on October 10, had for its preacher the Rt. Rev. John T. Dallas, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire and former rector of the St. Thomas Church in Hanover. Bishop Dallas received the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity from Dartmouth in 1922.

Lieut. Commdr. Knudsen, last month's preacher, was a Marine in the first World War and shortly after Pearl Harbor he left his pastorate in Plymouth, Mass., to enlist again. As a chaplain he went through three major naval battles in the Solomons area and when disabled was returned to this country for service.
