NOTES

The following paragraphs from the Journalof Education are of interest. Under the heading "Dartmouth's Heroic Democracy" the Journal says:

"Dartmouth College, which has long been on the firing line of progress, has never been quite so heroic as in its new policy toward high schools. Any graduate of an approved high school, who ranks in the first quarter of his class for the whole four years in the high school, will be admitted to Dartmouth without conditions. The dean, Craven Laycock, says:

" 'This action has been taken on the ground that the high school boy will usually continue his good work in college; that the first-class student, deciding at a late date to take a college course, should be given all possible consideration; and that the men qualifying under the conditions laid down in the vote should find the step from school to college natural, simple, and devoid of unnecessary formalities.' "

Alumni throughout the country who served as commissioned officers in all branches of the service during the recent war will be interested to know that they are eligible to become members of the Army and Navy Club of America which has recently broadened its scope so as to include all officers, ex-officers, and all commissioned men with the Allied armies during the war. This membership will open to them the accommodations of the new $3,000,000. clubhouse shortly to be built in New York City as a memorial to the 3,500 commissioned officers who died in the war.

An excellent business opportunity in the foreign field is offered by the Export Division of the General Motors Corporation which is seeking college men who will take the one year course in its training school fitting them to go abroad as Field Sales Representatives, Field Technical Representatives, and Accountants. The course, as outlined, is a comprehensive and thorough one, and the remuneration both during the training period and after its completion is most attractive.

Word comes that alumni in Atlanta, Georgia, have organized a Dartmouth Club which meets on the first and third Friday of each month for luncheon at the Hotel Ansley in Atlanta.
