INTRODUCTION 
At the meeting of the trustees held in June, 1913, Professor 
Clark Wells Chamberlain, head of the department of Phj^sics of 
Vassar College, was elected president of Denison University. 
While Dr. Chamberlain was well known at home and abroad as 
a deep student of Physics, it was equally well known to some 
that he possessed administrative ability of a high order. His 
friends in science regretted the withdrawal of one who had al- 
ready accomplished so much. The friends of Denison, and Dr. 
Chamberlain’s former colleagues on the Denison faculty, rejoiced 
over the action of the trustees. 
So engrossing were the duties which President Chamberlain 
found awaiting him that in deference to his wishes the induction 
ceremonies were deferred till late in the college year. This 
delay gave abundant time for careful preparations. All details 
of local arrangement were divided among the following com- 
mittees, acting under the general direction of a committee ap- 
pointed by the Board of Trustees :
