Hanover Holiday
THE PROGRAM of lectures for Hanover Holiday, June 19 to 24, has been ninetenths completed with the announcement by Prof. Herbert W. Hill, chairman, that Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn and Prof. W. Benfield Pressey have accepted invitations to join the staff of ten lecturers who will be heard during the third annual alumni college week.
Dr. Meiklejohn, former president of Amherst College, who is Visiting Professor of Philosophy at Dartmouth this semester, has not chosen the subject of his talk, but his eminent scholarship and vital concern with all modern problems make it certain that his lecture will be one of the main attractions of the Hanover Holiday series. Dr. Meiklejohn is presenting a course on "Idealism and Pragmatism" this semester and has just delivered the first of four public lectures under the general heading of "The Philosophy of Educa- tion."
Professor Pressey, who spent last semester's leave of absence in Hollywood studying the movie industry, will talk about his experiences there and about the movie- script writing course which he inaugurated at Dartmouth this semester. During his Hollywood visit he was sponsored by Walter Wanger '15 through whose help he was able to study every phase of movie production from the initial writing of the script to the final projection of the film. Professor Pressey is chairman of the Department of English and has long been a popular lecturer on campus.
The Hanover Holiday lecturers previously announced for 1939 include Prof. Frank Maloy Anderson of the History department, whose interpretation of European affairs will follow the pattern of the talk which proved so popular last June; Prof. Michael E. Choukas '27 of the Sociology department, who will speak on modern propaganda methods; Prof. Malcolm Keir of the Economics department, whose talk will deal with current labor problems; Prof. James D. McCallum, who will discuss English and American novels of social reform; Prof. Joseph L. McDonald of the Economics department, who will talk about Secretary Hull's foreign trade policies; Prof. Artemas Packard of the Art Department, who will describe the place of the arts at Dartmouth today; and Prof. Andrew J. Scarlett '10 of the Chemistry department, whose topic is modern chemistry.
The Hanover Holiday tuition fee for alumni and their wives is $5.00 for the series of ten lectures. The alumni college is being held during the week following Commencement, this year scheduled for Sunday, June 18, and it is expected that the larger part of alumni enrollment will come from the classes holding reunions in Hanover this June.
