At the annual meeting of the Associates of Radcliffe College, Dean Briggs was unanimously elected president of Radcliffe to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of the honorary president, Mrs. Agassiz. For some time Mrs. Agassiz has felt unable to continue longer in the office of president, and her resignation was therefore accepted. Dean Briggs will continue his present connection with the University and will take up his new work at the opening of college in September.
