DARTMOUTH'S NEW PRESIDENT

Dr. Ernest Martin Hopkins, the eleventh president of Dartmouth College, is a man of capabilities, a man of constructive and well-balanced ability and distinctly a man of promise despite the fact of his lack of years and experience in great educational problems, as that experience is counted today. He is not a specialist in any one field of education, yet he takes a better plea for the cultural studies than the special pleaders are wont to do.

But Dr. Hopkins, both in his knowledge of he human and fundamental conditions of the business world today, and in his knowledge of conditions at Dartmouth, gleaned from his service in the business world, and in the realm of collegiate thought throughout the country, approximates the specialist to some extent, without cramping his abilities by a narrowing of his field of vision. He is bent on accomplishing the great and far-sighted thing. He would have men of higher education less trained for selfish and individualistic successes, than for their collective influence for good in the business community.

In this campaign Dr. Hopkins seeks to enlist the aid of the Dartmouth alumni, not in an effort to promulgate the doctrine of "Dartmouth Uber Alles," but rather that of service to the American State in this, and in all future hours of need.

We sincerely hope that Dr. Hopkins may meet with success and co-operation in the attainment of this higher ideal, and that his term of office may be both fruitful and enjoyable.
