ANDERSON HISTORY FUND

A payment of $10,000 made to Dartmouth College from the estate of the late Frank Maloy Anderson, M.A. '14, will be used to establish the Frank Maloy Anderson and Mary Steele Anderson Fund. Mr. Anderson, who died in 1961, was Professor of History at Dartmouth from 1914 to 1941, and appropriately this fund will be used to purchase books or other materials in the field of history.

In Professor Anderson's will, $20,000 was bequeathed "to such charitable, religious, scientific, or educational institutions as my executor hereinafter may determine." Professor Anderson's executor and son, Dr. Gaylord W. Anderson '22, divided the bequest between Dartmouth, where his father taught for 27 years, and the University of Minnesota, where he received his education and taught for 19 years before coming to Dartmouth.

Professor Anderson, an authority on modern European history, retired from teaching in 1941 and for twenty years, during the summers, returned annually to Hanover with Mrs. Anderson to read and do research at the Baker Library. In 1919, in connection with the Versailles Treaty and President Wilson's Peace Commission, Professor Anderson headed the history division of the President's staff of experts.
