Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Installation of William Arnold Shanklin, L. H. D., LL. D : As Ninth President of Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut, November 12, 1909 Bradford P. Raymond, D. D., LL. D., resigned the presidency of Wesleyan University at the annual meeting of the Trustees in June, 1907, the resignation to take effect at the close of the next college year. It was not, however, found practicable to elect a President until November 13, 1908. At that time the Trustees elected as President of Wesleyan University William Arnold Shanklin, D. D., L. H. D., LL. D., who was then President of Upper Iowa University. Owing to his engagement in Upper Iowa University, the President-elect was unable to enter upon his duties until the close of Commencement week in 1909. During the interregnum, Professor William North Rice, Ph. D., LL. D., served as acting President. Although President Shanklin entered upon the responsibilities of the office at the beginning of the summer vacation in 1909, it was decided to postpone the formal Installation until the 12th of November. At a meeting held February 26, 1909, the Trustees ordered a joint committee of Trustees and Faculty with power to make all necessary arrangements for the Installation. The Trustees appointed as their representatives on the joint committee Stephen Henry Olin, LL. D., George S. Coleman, LL. D., Frank Mason North, D. D., Azel W. Hazen, D. D., and William I. Haven, D. D. The Faculty subsequently appointed as their representatives on the committee Professors Rice, Winchester, and Crawford. Professor Armstrong was appointed marshal for the day, and Professors Bradley, Cady, Fisher, Howland, and Dr Renshaw assistant marshals. A number of subcommittees were appointed to provide for the multiplicity of details necessary for such a celebration. In addition to the members of the original committee and the marshal and his assistants, Professors Conn, Harrington, James, Nicolson, Fife, Hewitt, Howland, and Camp rendered valuable service on various subcommittees.
