COMPTROLLER APPOINTED

At yesterday's meeting of the President and Fellows Howard Lane Blackwell '99 was appointed Comptroller of the University from March 1, 1906, to succeed Allen Danforth '66, whose resignation had previously been accepted to take effect on that date.

Mr. Blackwell received the degree of A.M. in 1900, and that of Ph.D. in Physics in 1905. He is now Research Fellow in Physics, and will continue his connection with the Physical Laboratory. He is also President of the Harvard Dining Association, of which he has been a director for several years; and he was largely instrumental in securing the recent improvements to Memorial Hall.
