COOLIDGE AND CHERINGTON NAMED FOR PROFESSORSHIPS

At the last meeting of the University Board of Overseers, two new full professors were named. Julian Lowell Coolidge '95, B.Sc., Ph.D., was appointed Professor of Mathematics, and Paul Terry Cherington, S.B., A.M., Professor of Marketing in the Graduate School of Business Administration. The former, after having graduated from the University, studied in England for two years, receiving the degree of B.Sc. from Oxford in 1897. In 1900 he became associated with the University for the first time as an instructor in mathematics. In 1904 Professor Coolidge received his Ph.D. from Bonn University, Prussia. He was appointed Assistant Professor at the University in 1908.

Professor Cherington received his degree of S.B. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1902 and that of A.M. in 1908. Shortly afterwards he became an instructor at the University, and was soon made an Assistant Professor.

Samuel Henshaw, A.M. '03, was appointed by the Overseers as Director of the University Museum. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and since 1904 has been Curator of the University Museum of Comparative Zoology.

Two new assistant professors were also created by the Overseers at their last meeting.

Assistant Professor Hack received his A.B. from Williams in 1905 and for the next four years was Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, taking the degree of B.Litt. from that university in 1909. Assistant Professor Hill was graduated from the University with a summa cum laude degree in music. He studied the pianoforte the following year with Lang, and, the year after, composition with Bullard. In Paris he was a pupil of both Breitner and Widor. He has been an instructor in music at the University since 1908.
