NICHOLS HEAD OF DARTMOUTH
PROFESSOR OF PHYSICS ELECT
ED TO SUCCEED TUCKER.
Sequel to Two Years Effort on Part
of Trustees to Find Suit
able Man.

CONCORD, n. H, June 9.-Prof. Ernst
Fox Nichols, d. Sc, formerly head of the
department of physics at Dartmouth Col
lege, and now professor of experimental
physics at Columbia University, has been
unanimously elected president of Dart
mouth, to succeed DIR. William Tucker
who resigned May II, 1907, on account of
ill health
The selection of Prof Nichols to be-
come tenth president of Dartmouth is the
result of over two years of assiduous eff
fort on the part of the trustees to find a
man to succeed President Tucker who
would be acceptable to the alumni and
undergraduates, and at the same time
fulfill the traditional requirements of the
institution.
DR.. Nichols was born in 1860 at Leaven-
worth. Kan. He received his early edu-
cation in the west, and was graduated at
the age of nineteen from the Kansas
Agricultural College.
While student in the Berlin laboratory
he made several discoveries which were
received and published by the Royal
Prussian Academy of Science.
Devised New Form of Radiometer.
In Berlin Prof. Nichols devised a new
form of the radiometer. by means of
which radiant energy could be measured
with precision. After his return to
America he used this instrument at the
Yerkes observatory and the Mount Will
son observatory, California. in attempts
to measure the heat from the stars and
planets.
In 1895 Dr. Nichols was called to the
professorship of physics in Dartmouth
College During the first two years at
Dartmouth he made the first measure
ments of the heat received from several
of the brighter stars and planets by using
it's own radiometer. These experiments
are admittedly the most sensitive and
delicate measurements of heat which have
ever been made.
Prof. Nichols, working with Prof. Cor
don F. Hull, in 1901 discovered the pres
sure of beam Of light This discovery
and the difficult and accurate measure
ment OF the new force won immediate and
worldwide recognition for both men.
After five years at Dartmouth DIR. Mich

fifth anniversary Of his appointment as
Evening star., 1909-06-09

Archbishop Of Philadelphia was quietly
observed yesterday by Archbishop Ryan.
In accordance with his desire, there was
no public celebration. A big celebration
was planned by Catholics and non-Cath-
olic friends of the archbishop. but when
news of it reached the prelate's ears he
forbade any demonstration. Il do not
approve of any jubilee" he said. ut is
selfish and takes ones mind from more
worthy matters"
Notwithstanding his opposition a cele-
bration is being planned for the week OF
August 20, which is the date when the
archbishop took up his duties in this
diocese in 1884. Prior TO that he was
coadjutor bishop Of ST. Louis.

merry party. Miss Boardman, who had
spent the afternoon on the river, had
just finished dinner when he arrived. Like
Santa Claus, the President went straight
to his work, and in a happy speech ap-
propriate to the occasion he made the
presentation.
He referred to the pleasures of the
memorable voyage to the Philippines and
of the happy incidents connected with it.
He thanked Miss Boardman for her share
of contribution to the general enjoyment
and congratulated the other members of
the party upon their good fortune in hav-
ing her with them He then handed her
the watch and chain. Mrs. Taft. who is
a close friend of Miss Boardman, gave
her personal attention to the selection of
the gift. Miss Boardman was SO overcome
with surprise that she could do little more
than express her thanks to the President
and to the members Of the party.
The watch bears the inscription on the
inside ITO Mabel Boardman the one we
love. The Tafters.' The chain is orna-
mented with a number of pearls.
Miss Boardman has entertained the
"Tafters'' at her home every year since
their return from the trip to the Philip
pines and has done much to cement the
party into sort of permanent organiZa-
ton. Her friends, recognizing this and
desiring to show their appreciation for
her efforts and their affection for herself,
decided to present her with a lasting tes-
timonial in the form of the watch and
chain.
