THE NAVY V-12 PROGRAM at Dartmouth has previously been discussed in a number of ALUMNI MAGAZINE articles, but the wartime College as seen through the eyes of the teaching staff has not been described until this month. As our leading article for this issue, Prof. Arthur Dewing '25 of the English Department has written Teaching 'Navy Trainees, a faculty impression which alumni will find most interesting. It starts on Page 7.

A kindred article, Sea-Going English, written by Prof. A. A. Raven and starting on Page 11, is the first of a series of brief accounts of the large basic courses in the V-12 program. Prof. Leon Burr Richardson's series on the men for whom College buildings have been named continues this month with Topliff Hall, on Page 13; and making this something of an all-faculty issue, Dr. Frederic P. Lord '98 writes for us, on Page 20, an appreciation of the life of the late Prof. Arthur Fairbanks '86, one of the College's great scholars.

In addition to regular war features, we print this month, starting on Page 15, a list of Dartmouth war casualties as recorded to date by the College. The War Directory will be found on 14, 'Round the Girdled Earth on 9, and Laureled Sons of Dartmouth on 12.

Regular monthly departments include Gradus ad Parnassum, 5; The UndergraduateChair, 18; Hanover Browsing and Books, 17; News of the College, 21; and Big Green Teams, 24. Club notes start on 27, class notes on 31, and In Memoriam on 61.

The Cover Our übiquitous staff photographer, George Higgins, got into the swimming pool this time and took the picture of Navy V-12 trainees practicing disembarkation on a cargo net.
