 years al Dartmouth he made the first
 measurements of the heat received from several of the brighter stars

Mci.aurin. who has just been h. siaiied as president of the Massaehn- setfs Institute Of Technology al Bos- ton. Both were members of the Co- lumhia faculty. and Professor Nichols was professor of experimental phys les
 The selection of Professor Nichols to become tbe tenth president of Dart mouth Is tue result of more than two years of assilueus effort on the part of the trustees to find man to sue. ceed President Tucker. who resigned In I90T The remarkable growth of tbe college from 315 to more than LOO students during President Tuck. er's fourteen years presidency, with an Increase of nearly s2.goC.0v0 in col lege property and corresponding en- iargement of the faculty, made the problem of selecting a new head diff flcult.
 Dr Nichols was born in 1869 at Leayenworth, Kan. He received bis early education in the west and was graduated at nineteen from the Kan sas Agricutuud college The next gear was spent in teaching and the following years as graduate student Ih mathematics and physics at Cor nell university. where he held the Erastus Brooks fellowship.
