Leonard M. Rieser '44 Provost and Dean of the Faculty Emeritus
Leonard M. Rieser ’44 Provost and Dean of the Faculty Emeritus An Interview Conducted by Jane Carroll Hanover, NH August 15 and 28, and October 22, 1996 Phonotape Nos. 1176 R547/1–5 Special Collections Dartmouth College Hanover, New Hampshire Leonard Rieser Interview INTERVIEW: Leonard Rieser INTERVIEWED BY: Jane Carroll PLACE: Leonard Rieser’s office Hanover, NH DATE: August 16, 1996 CARROLL: Today is the 16th of August 1996, and I’m speaking with former Provost and Dean of the Faculty Leonard Rieser here in his office in Hanover, New Hampshire. I was curious when you first came to Dartmouth. That was 1940? RIESER: As an undergraduate. CARROLL: As an undergraduate. How did you choose Dartmouth? RIESER: Your question’s very perceptive, as you’ll see from your answer. It was certainly my intention to go to Harvard, and my family’s intention; and as late as July of 1940 I was sitting at the camp where I was a counselor, talking to a friend with whom I planned to room in freshman dorms. We were picking a room. And I had a phone call from my home that a telegram had come saying something about “Harvard is sorry, but your score on your recent English exam meant that you would have to wait a year to come to Harvard.” That set in motion a search for an alternative. In retrospect, I’m surprised that I wasn’t more discouraged by that, or depressed, but it’s because I really hadn’t thought much about alternatives. I may have, earlier, applied to Reed College, I don’t remember, or whether I did it then. -
Ernest Fox Nichols
NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES E R N E S T F O X N ICHOLS 1869—1924 A Biographical Memoir by E . L . NICHOLS Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1929 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. ERNEST FOX NICHOLS BY R. L. NICHOLS One winter evening in the year 1885 the present writer lec- tured at the Kansas Agricultural College. It was an illustrated talk on experimental physics to students who thronged the col- lege chapel. Some three years later, when that event had passed into the realm of things half forgotten, two young men appeared at the physical laboratory of Cornell University. They ex- plained that they had been in the audience at Manhattan on the occasion just mentioned and had been so strongly interested that they had decided then and there to devote themselves to the study of physics. Now, having finished their undergrad- uate course they had come east to enter our graduate school. One of these two Kansas boys, both of whom were then quite unknown to the writer, was Ernest Fox Nichols. Nichols was born in Leavenworth, Kansas, on June 1. 1869. He was soon left parentless, a lonely boy but with means to help him obtain an education, and went to live with an uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Fox, of Manhattan, in that State. He was tall, fair, clear-eyed, of open countenance and winning smile, and there was that about him which once seen was never forgotten. -

Ernest Martin Hopkins ʻ01 President, Emeritus
Ernest Martin Hopkins ʻ01 President, Emeritus An interview conducted by Edward Connery Lathem ʻ51 Hanover, NH February 21- March 14, 1958 Reels 1-9 Rauner Special Collections Library Dartmouth College Hanover, NH Ernest Martin Hopkins Interview Reel #1 Hopkins: I'm very apologetic for being late, but every time I have a definite appointment, I get hung up on the telephone. Watson: But I got hung up in a different way. Just as I was getting in my car, my trousers got caught on a piece of broken metal at the back of the car. Professor Sadler ran into it yesterday – and ripped my trouser leg right down so I had to rush back and change my pants. Hopkins: I'm sorry for the cause, but I'm kind of glad you were delayed. This was an interesting telephone conversation. It was with a fellow named Gordon who is the head of the company that made the silver bowl and he just wanted some assurance it was all right and so forth. He's a very, very attractive fellow, but I have just barely met him though. I donʼt know him well at all. Childs: It looked like a beautiful bowl. I trust it's as beautiful as it looked there. Is it? It's a perfect reproduction, isnʼt it? Hopkins: Just a perfect reproduction. It is very beautiful, very beautiful. Childs: I told you ahead of time I wasn't going to get to your dinner. But I did. I was so glad… so thrilled by it. It was wonderful. -
Book Reviews
Book Reviews Lincoln’s Sons. By Ruth Painter Randall. (Boston : Little, Brown, and Company, 1955, pp. mi, 373. Illustrations, bibliography, and index. $5.00.) An impressive demonstration of the objective approach in biography has been made during the past decade by the late James Garfield Randall and Ruth Painter Randall. The concluding number of Randall’s four-volume set, Lincoln the President, is recently from the press and Mrs. Randall’s Lincoln’s Sons is now in print. This last work and its com- panion volume, Mary Lincoln. Biography of a Marriage, published in 1953, cover the domestic life of the Lincolns. It seems incredible that within a period of ten years, by the use of authentic sources, these two writers have been able to completely nullify the generally accepted stories of the Lincoln home life. For sixty years or more William Herndon was considered the outstanding authority in this phase of Lincolniana. However, the place of distinction which Professor Randall occupied among trained historians allowed him to successfully challenge, where others had failed, the validity of Herndon’s widely used compilation of folklore and traditions relating to the Lincoln family. Mrs. Randall’s first book brought to the attention of the reading public the great injustice done to the widow of Abraham Lincoln by the one-time law partner of her hus- band. Now in the author’s second volume she comes to the defense of another member of the Lincoln household, Robert Todd Lincoln, who was also greatly misrepresented by Herndon. While the casual reader will be entertained by the escapades of Willie and Tad, serious students of the Eman- cipator will be especially interested in the first objective biographical study of Robert, the only one of the four Lincoln boys to reach maturity. -
A Homosexual Community at 1920S Dartmouth College
The Boys of Beaver Meadow 9 The Boys of Beaver Meadow: A Homosexual Community at 1920s Dartmouth College Nicholas L. Syrett Dartmouth College is located in Hanover, New Hampshire, on the banks of the Connecticut River. Just across the river in the state of Vermont is the town of Norwich. If you follow the road heading northwest out of Norwich for about five and a half miles, you will arrive in West Norwich, the present day site of what, in earlier years, was a hamlet called Beaver Meadow. The road that takes you there is called Beaver Meadow Road. It was there in the early to mid-1920s that an all-male group of Dartmouth students and recent graduates stayed in a house where, free from the regulatory eyes of their faculty, they had parties, stayed up late, drank alcohol, and had sex. With each other. This essay explores the significance of these students’ choices for our under- standings of the history of homosexuality in the United States. The story of the boys of Beaver Meadow stands in contrast to the historical narrative with which we’ve become familiar: homosexuality emerges in urban settings. While it is not particularly surprising that homosexual sex occurred at an all-male college in the 1920s, it is certainly noteworthy that homosexually-inclined Dartmouth students (for lack of a better term) created a community of sorts for themselves in rural Vermont. When these students did eventually return to their hometowns, a number of them ended up marrying women. The boys of Beaver Meadow tell us that homosexuality was not seen as incompatible with a more rural existence. -

Chapter Eight “A Strong but Judicious Enemy to Slavery”: Congressman Lincoln (1847-1849) Lincoln's Entire Public Service O
Chapter Eight “A Strong but Judicious Enemy to Slavery”: Congressman Lincoln (1847-1849) Lincoln’s entire public service on the national level before his election as president was a single term in the U. S. House. Though he had little chance to distinguish himself there, his experience proved a useful education in dealing with Congress and patronage. WASHINGTON, D.C. Arriving in Washington on December 2, 1847, the Lincolns found themselves in a “dark, narrow, unsightly” train depot, a building “literally buried in and surrounded with mud and filth of the most offensive kind.”1 A British traveler said he could scarcely imagine a “more miserable station.”2 Emerging from this “mere shed, of slight construction, designed for temporary use” which was considered “a disgrace” to the railroad company as well as “the city that tolerates it,”3 they beheld an “an ill-contrived, 1 Saturday Evening News (Washington), 14 August 1847. 2 Alexander MacKay, The Western World, or, Travels in the United States in 1846-47 (3 vols.; London: Richard Bentley, 1850), 1:162. 3 Letter by “Mercer,” n.d., Washington National Intelligencer, 16 November 1846. The author of this letter thought that the station was “in every respect bad: it is cramped in space, unsightly in appearance, inconvenient in its position, and ill adapted to minister to the comfort of travellers in the entire character of its arrangements.” Cf.
