Elected Director

PRESIDENT HOPKINS WAS elected to the Board of Directors of the Continental Can Company on March 10, filling the vacancy caused by the death of the company's president, J. Frederick Hartlieb. This is the third directorship which he now holds, the other two being with the Boston and Maine Railroad, since 1920, and the National Life Insurance Company of Montpelier, Vt., since 1933.

During the past month President Hopkins also was named by Norman H. Davis, national chairman of the American Red Cross, to serve on the national advisory committee for the 1943 War Fund Drive. This group is made up of outstanding citizens from all sections of the country, including Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, Bernard Baruch, Herbert Hoover, and Wendell Willkie among others.

President Hopkins' speaking engagements during the past month were confined entirely to Dartmouth alumni gatherings and took him to New York, where he spoke to two different groups on the 17th and 18th, to Chicago on the 24th, and to Washington, D. C., on the 26th. While in Chicago he also spoke at a class agents' dinner on the evening before the larger alumni meeting.
