MORE FACULTY MEMBERS IN WAR WORK

Three more members of the Dartmouth faculty have been granted leave of absence for the second semester in order that they may engage in special war work, and another has been granted a month's leave.

Professor F. H. Dixon, head of the Department of Economics, is now in Washington acting as transportation expert on the American Shipping Board. Professor Dixon ever since the beginning of the war has been active in various capacities as an expert on public economy, and a short time ago was appointed head of the Railroad Bureau of Economics, a position which he will continue to hold in conjunction with his work on the Shipping Board.

Professor L. H. Dow sailed recently for London, where he is to serve as a member of the Inter-Allied Shipping Board. This board is one of consultation, working out plans to enable the allied nations so to order their shipping that they will at no points be acting at cross purposes. The proceedings of the board will be conducted entirely in French, and Professor Dow's services will be partly in the nature of interpreting. He was appointed by Ray Stevens, head of the American branch, and had a personal interview with President Wilson immediately before sailing.

Professor C. A. Proctor of the Department of Physics has sailed for France in the interest of the signal service. His particular work will be to collect scientific information concerning aeroplanes, in order to aid the United States government in the building of its machines.

Professor F. M. Anderson of the Department of History has been granted a month's leave of absence, and is now in Washington, as a member of the National Board of Historical Service.
