The growing roster of Dartmouth men who are college presidents received a distinguished addition with the appointment, on January 29, of Charles W. McKenzie '20 to the presidency of Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Va. He will assume his new duties on July 1.

A former college dean and professor of political science, Mr. McKenzie is at present preparing for publication a book, Party Government in England, which he began in England. He returned to this country last June after two years of writing and studying at the London School of Economics.

A native of Boston, Mr. McKenzie took graduate work at Columbia University on a William Jewett Tucker Fellowship from Dartmouth, receiving the M.A. degree in Public Law in 1921. The following year he taught political science at Dartmouth, and until 1926 alternated between teaching at the College and studying at Columbia.

In 1926, Mr. McKenzie joined the faculty of Washington University in St. Louis, where he taught until 1942. His book Party Government in the UnitedStates was published in 1938. During the war he was director of personnel of the Pre-flight School in San Antonio and was in charge of the training and administration of 10,000 cadets and 800 officers. After this service, in 1946 he became professor of political science at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo. Later Mr. McKenzie was made Dean of the Faculty. He has lectured widely on international, national and local affairs, and for a time was editorial writer on the St. Louis Star-Times. From 1933 until 1936 he served on the Dartmouth Alumni Council. Among other organizations, he is a member of the American Society of International Law and the American Academy of Political and Social Science. His wife, whom he married in 1932, is the former Margaret Elizabeth Hines.
