Trustees Meet in New York
HOLDING THEIR FIRST regular meeting away from the College since 1912, the Board of Trustees gathered in New York on May 1 for their annual spring meeting. Following the meeting, President Hopkins announced several new faculty appointments and promotions.
Dr. John Pelenyi, former Hungarian Minister to the United Staites, and Dr. Wing-Tsit Chan of the University of Hawaii, both visiting lecturers at the College, have been elected full professors on the faculty, Dr. Pelenyi, who came to Dartmouth in 1941 after the Nazis had taken over his native land, will fill the post of Professor of Political Science; while Dr. Chan, who has been visiting lecturer since last fall, will serve as Professor of Chinese Culture.
President Hopkins also announced six other faculty appointments, promotions for four members of the teaching staff, and a change in faculty organization bringing the college librarian and his two assistants within the Division of the Humanities.
Faculty appointments by the Dartmouth trustees were those of Oliver L. Lilley '30, former reference librarian, as instructor in graphics and engineering; Nickerson Rogers '31, research fellow at the Dartmouth Eye Institute, as instructor in physics; Dr. James F. Crow as instructor in preventive medicine and parasitology in the Dartmouth Medical School, in addition to his present position as instructor in zoology in the college; Dr. John B. Holyoke, teaching fellow, as instructor in pathology in the Medical School; and Stanley Barr '44 and Spencer L. Baird Jr. '44, both members of the senior class, as assistants in chemistry.
FOUR INSTRUCTORS PROMOTED
Promotion of four faculty members from instructor to assistant professor was announced as follows: Allen L. King, physics; George F. Theriault '33, sociology; Dr. Reginald K. House, pathology, Dartmouth Medical School; Dr. Harold Schutz, electrical engineering, Thayer School of Engineering.
The resignations of Hugh L. Elsbree, professor of political science, and of Rudolph T. Textor, clinical fellow at the Dartmouth Eye Institute, were also made known.
President Hopkins announced that Nathaniel L. Goodrich, librarian of the college, would be associated with the Division of the Humanities, with the rank of full professor; and that Harold G. Rugg '06 and Alexander Laing '25, assistant librarians, would also have this new faculty classification, with the rank of assistant professor. A change in title was approved for George C. Woods, professor of Italian, who becomes professor of Italian and comparative literature.
Trustee action included the award of bachelor degrees to the following five men: James M. Kellers '42, Scarsdale, N. Y.; James N. Capps '43, Utica, N. Y.; Walter R. Daggatt '43, Portland, Ore.; James M. Mullins Jr. '43, St. Louis, Mo.; and John P. Brown '44, Hanover, N. H.
Brown, son of Prof. Bancroft Brown of the mathematics department, has completed only seven semesters of college but was awarded his degree on the strength of his near-perfect scholastic record. This will advance the start of his graduate studies in physical mathematics at Brown University, for which he recently received a Dartmouth fellowship.
