Alumni College
Advance registrations indicate that an enthusiastic group of alumni and their wives will be on hand when Dartmouth's first Alumni College opens on June 14 to run throughout the week following Commencement. A series of ten informal lectures will be delivered by favorite professors on the afternoons and evenings of June 14 to June 19, covering a wide variety of subjects.
Lectures will be given at 1:30 in the afternoon and at 8 in the evening, leaving the morning and greater part of the afternoon free for sports and vacation plans. They will be delivered in different rooms in the newer buildings in order to give alumni the fullest appreciation of the development of the College plant. 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 per person for the week of the Alumni College.
Professors and their topics for the sixday course will include the following:
Malcolm Keir, professor of Economics "Why Labor Is News"; Churchill P. Lathrop, assistant professor of Art, "The Enjoyment of Modern Art"; John M. Mecklin, professor of Sociology, "Democratic Ideals and Economic Realities"; Kenneth A. Robinson, professor of English, "American Literature"; Leon B. Richardson, professor of Chemistry, "High Spots of Dartmouth History"; Francois Denoeu, assistant professor of French, "Education in France and Its Recent Developments"; Leland Griggs, professor of Biology, "Animal Life About Hanover"; William K.

Nemiah, professor of Greek and Latin, "Greek Foundations of Modern History." Registration for the Alumni College will take place Monday evening, June 14, at the Hanover Inn, with the first class being held that evening at 8. From Tuesday through Friday classes will be held at 1:30 in the afternoon and at 8 in the evening. The last formal class will be held Saturday morning at 9, and the course will conclude Saturday night with a dinner and entertainment at the Inn.
