DEAN NICHOLS TO RESIGN NEXT FALL

W. I. Nichols '26, assistant dean in charge of Freshmen, is resigning in September to enter the publishing business in New York, it was learned last night. With what firm he will be affiliated, it is not yet certain.

Dean Nichols was prominent during his college years as president of the CRIMSON and chairman of the Student Council Committee on Education. In his Freshman year, he was editorial chairman of the Red Book. Besides belonging to the Dramatic Club and the Debating Union, he was elected to numerous other offices, including membership on the Class Day Committee and the Committee on Freshman Affairs. He graduated in 1926 with a degree magna cum laude.

Already a recipient of numerous scholarship awards, in his Senior year Mr. Nichols received a Rhodes Scholarship and went to England where he studied for a year at Balliol College, Oxford. His appointment as assistant dean of Freshmen at Harvard was announced in the spring of 1927, and he returned in the fall to take up his duties as Freshman dean, sharing the responsibility with Mitchell Gratwick '22, who is also resigning at the end of his two years of service. Both men will continue in office until the end of the present college year.

A. C. Hanford, dean of Harvard College, stated last night that the name of Dean Nichol's successor would not be made known until the end of the year.
