A PRESIDENTS INAUGURAL SIGNIFICANT event in the scholastic as well as adminis¬ trative policy of Tufts College occurred on November 4 when Dr. Leonard Carmichael, Class of ’21, was in¬ augurated as the eighth president of the College, succeed¬ ing Acting President George S. Miller, who for one year capably filled the presidential vacancy caused by the sudden demise of the greatly respected John Albert Cousens, when he died in August, 1937. Occasion of the inaugural ceremony marked the greatest assemblage ever seen on Hill of the leading scholars and presidents of almost every college and learned society in the nation who lent their erudite presence to welcome the advent of a president who seems determined to alter the scholastic policy of Tufts to more adequately fit modern trends in education. Exercises to inaugurate this noted scholar were impressively executed from start to finish. Led by Professor Miller, followed by Dr. Balch, bearing mace, Dr. Carmichael and President of Trustees Sweet, lead dignitaries to chapel exercises. £7 Following the chapel exercises the main floor of the Cousens Gymnasium served as scene of luncheon-banquet. School orchestra and mixed choir sang songs as hungry guests listened and ate in silent appreciation.
