Presidents Confer

THE PRESIDENTS OF Amherst, Bowdoin, Wesleyan and Williams were guests of President Hopkins and Dartmouth College over the week-end of February 18-30, for the first Pentagonal Conference on the Undergraduate College. These educators, and three other delegates from each of the five colleges, met together for four different conference sessions on common administrative problems for the present and postwar periods. Interspersed were informal social gatherings and a reception at the President's House for the delegates and for members of the Dartmouth staff who are alumni of the four guest colleges.

Among those present were President Stanley King of Amherst, President Kenneth C. M. Sills of Bowdoin, President Victor L. Butterfield of Wesleyan, and President James Phinney Baxter 3rd of Williams. Deans, directors of admisson, and chairmen of faculty committees on the curriculum also attended, those from Dartmouth being Deans Bill, Neidlinger and Strong.

BIGGEST AESTHETIC CONTROVERSY in years stirred up the Dartmouth campus following the Dartmouth Players' highly successful presentation of Saroyan's "Jime Your Life" in early February. Still unsettled is the question: "Is it Art or plain tripe?"
