known writer and ex-presdent OF
the Dartmouth Alumni Association,

at the age Of 76 years. he
passed his entrance examinations
at the age of eleven years, but was
not allowed to enter college until
two years later. After graduating
from Dartmouth he studied law and
was admitted to the bar at the age
Of 10. He won a reputation as an
author, and his best work, "Half a
Century Of Recolections," was com
pIeted just before his death.

Wentworth estate of $250,000,
which was left the college several
years ago on the condition that 1t
should become available when it
amounted to 100000, has recently
been appraised and found to be some
what above the required amount.
1t will soon be at the disposal Of
the college authorities. This, i'm.
mediately following the 100000
from the Butterworth estate, the
alumni fund Of $4,000 and the
Fayerweather bequest of 100000
will greatly aid Dartmouth. This
money will be devoted to new build
ings, new professorships and to i'm
proved athletic facilities.

men whose names even are unknown
outside Vermont, who in that wonder
full period OF history from 1864 to 1871
created the state God made the outside OF
it, but they created the government.
They were men for the most part OF
small education, and few advantages.
They had had no legislative training;
they had no lawyers, which was per
haps to their advantage, and no news
papers, which was certainly their good
fortune They created a state govern
mcnt and made no account OF it. They
had no reporters and made scant re-
cords, but they drew bill OF rights,
which is one Of the most remarkable
documents on record.
