Alumni College
April 1937

Dartmouth alumni and others will have a chance to revive their undergraduate days during the week following Commencement, when the first Alumni College will be held in Hanover. A series of ten lectures will be delivered by favorite professors on the afternoons and evenings of June 14 to 19, with a dinner and entertainment at the Hanover Inn bringing the program to a dose. A tuition fee of $8.00 will be charged for the lecture course, while special rates at the Inn will range from $7.50 to $18.00 for the week from June 14 to 20.

The lectures will be informal and will deal with subjects diversified enough to interest all. They will be given in different rooms in the newer buildings to allow the fullest appreciation of the development of the College plant. Professors who will lecture include Malcolm Keir, Economics; Churchill P. Lathrop, Art; John M. Mecklin, Sociology; Kenneth A. Robinson, English; Leon Burr Richardson '00, Chemistry; Francois Denoeu, French; Leland Griggs '02, Biology; William K. Stewart, Comparative Literature; W. B. D. Henderson, English; and Royal C. Nemiah, Classical Civilizations. Professor Richardson will lecture on the history of Dartmouth College rather than on Chemistry.

Lectures will be given at 1:30 in the afternoon and 8 in the evening, leaving the morning and greater part of the afternoon free for sports, drives, and recreation. Through the cooperation of the Hanover Inn, a program of entertainment will be arranged, a play school will be held for children under 6, and student councilors will be available for children from 6 to 16.
