THE PASSING OF A GREAT Dartmouth figure— CRAVEN LAYCOCK '96—occasions publication of an article concerning him on page 10, together with a few of the many tributes to his memory which have subsequently been received from his contemporaries.
May is traditionally the month of our Undergraduate Issue, and in this copy are featured articles by Dartmouth students as varied as the whole gamut of undergraduate activity. On page 15 is a biographical sketch, John M.Mecklin, Teacher, by THOMAS W. BRADEN '40, retiring editor of THE DARTMOUTH, whose facile pen has brought that publication into a position of greater importance than it has enjoyed for some years. GEORGE C. SHELDON '41, whose article, "Lost Behind the Ranges" depicted. the assault on K-2—second highest peak in the world—in the Saturday EveningPost for March 16, contributes Dartmouth inthe High Hills, a similar review, on page 19. A unique article on Latin Americans at Dartmouth appears on page 22 , and on page 27 apGerman club, Germania, now in its tenth year, by J. CHESTER STOTHART '41. Going practically the whole hog, Hanover Browsing is this month given over to undergraduate reviews. In the Undergraduate Chair, RICHARD E. GLENDINNING '40 writes his swan song as its incumbent.
In "Little Man" Durrance, page 21 , FRANKELKINS of the New York Times describes graphically Dick's recent record performances on the blades at Sun Valley.
