Dartmouth Defense Group

TO SERVE AS A central clearing agency for national defense activities at Dartmouth this year, an American Defense Dartmouth Group of six faculty and administrative members was named by President Hopkins early in September. Prof. Harold J. Tobin '17 of the Political So ence department, co-author of the important volume Mobilizing Civilian Amend published last spring, was named chairman of the group.

Dean E. Gordon Bill, who was in char;; of the selective draft in Canada durin the World War, was also named to the con; mittee. Other members are Prof. Richan H. Goddard '20 of the Astronomy depan ment; Sidney C. Hayward '26, Secretar of the College; Prof. Stearns Morse of it English department, director of radio acti lities at Dartmouth; and George F. Ther bult '33 of the Sociology department.

Although established primarily to hen up the defense activities of the faculty an administrative staff, the American Defen Dartmouth Group will probably clear problems that come up in relation to n tional defense, coordinating its work wis that of any undergraduate or communii group which might be set up. It will cot suit with similar defense groups in othi colleges and will appoint sub-committe from the faculty as a whole to deal wi special questions.

Appointment of the defense group I President Hopkins was partly an 011 growth of numerous queries by Dartmom faculty members as to how they could be serve the nation. One of the first problems which the central committee will tall up will be that of offering refuge to Briti children. Arrangement of a program faculty talks on national defense topics white probably be another.
