Book Description

Excerpt from Wellesley College Bulletin, Vol. 6: Annual Reports, President and Treasurer, 1926-1927 To the Board of Trustees: - I have the honor to present the report for the academic year 1926-27, closing on June 30, 1927. The usual supplementary reports of other administrative officers are printed in full and should be consulted to obtain a complete picture of the college year. During this year there have been significant changes in the membership of the Board of Trustees. Five members of the Board have resigned: Dr. William E.Huntington, Dr. George Edwin Horr, Mrs. Louise McCoy North, Miss Caroline Hazard, and Mr. Edwin Farnham Greene. Dr. Huntington was elected to the Board in 1906 and during the twenty years of his service has been a member of several committees, notably that on Educational Policy and on the Reorganization of the Board. Dr. Huntington's daughter was a student of the College for two years, and perhaps that accounts in part for the interest which both Dr. and Mrs. Huntington have constantly shown in the life of the College. His resignation was accepted with regret in November, 1926. Dr. Horr became a member of the Board in 1904. While his duties as President of the Newton Theological Institution did not permit him to give much time to the Board, he was a valuable member of the Committee on Educational Policy and was always a staunch supporter of a liberal policy. He offered his resignation because of failing health and it was accepted in November, 1926. Mrs. Louise McCoy North resigned in January, 1927, after a service of more than thirty years. She was a member of the first class to graduate from Wellesley College and was one of the first three trustees nominated by the alumnae in 1893. After serving two terms of six years each as alumna trustee, she was elected by the trustees to serve without limit of term.
