Takes Defense Post

DAVIS JACKSON '36, College adviser to fraternities and business manager of the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE, left Hanover on February 27 to go to Washington, where he is filling a position with the Priorities Division of the Office of Production Management. The position, to which he was appointed by President Hopkins, is that of executive assistant to one of the sub-committees being established in the Priorities Division to expedite the tremendous volume of OPM work. President Hopkins, who went to Washington early in January, is priority executive for all minerals and metals.

After graduating from Dartmouth in 1936, Mr. Jackson served for a period with the Tennessee Valley Authority. He returned to Hanover in 1937 as College Adviser to Fraternities and later enlarged his activities in administrative and alumni affairs as business manager of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and as associate on the Alumni Fund.

In Washington he joins three other Dartmouth men associated with President Hopkins. Samuel S. Stratton '2O, associate professor at the Harvard Business School, is President Hopkins' right-hand man in the Priorities Division; A. C. C. Hill Jr. '25 is deputy administrator under E. R. Stettinius Jr.; and Jerome Low '37 holds an assistantship in the sub-committee organization similar to the post which Mr. Jackson assumed on February 28.

Mr. Jackson's College work has been taken over by Parker F. Soule Jr. '3l of Roswell, New Mexico, who relinquished a federal research job to return to Hanover. Mr. Soule was formerly associated with the Hanover Inn and before that with the Hanover Gazette.
