Social Survey

The Committee for the Survey of Social Life in Dartmouth College held its second full meeting in Hanover during the weekend of May 10 to 12. Prof. Russell R. Larmon '19, chairman of the special survey group which President Hopkins appointed last December, presided over the meetings, and announced after their close that the Committee will carry its study over into the next academic year and that no report will be made previous to the final report sometime next year. The third meeting of the full Committee has been set for June 12 and 13.

At the second full meeting the Committee studied the data which had been tabulated from questionnaires sent to all undergraduates, and reports were heard from W. W. Fitzhugh '35 and P. S. Cleaveland '36, who had visited Princeton and Swarthmore, and from Sidney C. Hayward '26, who had visited the University of Minnesota. Questionnaires were returned to the Committee by nearly 90 per cent of the student body at Dartmouth, supplying information on fraternities and all phases of social life at the College.

Alumni members who attended the second full meeting were J. Frank Drake '02, of Pittsburgh; Arthur H. Ruggles '02, of Providence, R. I.; James M. Mathes 11, of Plandome, N. Y.; and Lloyd D. Brace '25, of Boston. Chairman Larmon and Prof. William A. Eddy represented the faculty; Sidney C. Hayward '26 and Albert I. Dickerson '30, the Administration, and William W. Fitzhugh '35, George F. Hill '35, Philip N. Guyol '35, Albert L. Gibney '36, Aldis P. Butler '36, and Paul S. Cleaveland '36, the undergraduates.
