Faculty Changes

DEPARTURE OF TWO MEMBERS of the Dartmouth faculty for special war service and arrival of three new members took place at the start of the Spring Term on March 6.

Two professors, Albert W. Frey '20 and Michael E. Choukas '27, have been granted leaves of absence for war service in Washington. Professor Frey of the Tuck School of Business Administration will be a special assistant in the Procurement Division of the U. S. Treasury, working with John L. Sullivan '21, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, to whom the Surplus War Property Administration has recently assigned responsibility for the disposition of surplus consumer goods. Professor Frey will aid in setting up the organization necessary to carry out this assignment. Professor Choukas of the Sociology Department will serve in a specialized capacity for an unspecified period.

Appointment of Edward M. Korb of Dorchester, Mass., as Instructor in Physical Education, with duties connected with the Navy V-12 program was announced last month by President Hopkins. Mr. Korb has come to Hanover from Boston Univer- sity, where he has been supervisor of the intramural program for both civilians and the Army trainees in the ASTP. A gradu- ate of the University of Illinois in 1935, Dartmouth's new instructor took his Master's degree in Education at Boston University, where in 1937-38 he held a graduate fellowship and taught Physical Education. Last September he was recalled to Boston University to head up the intramural program, having spent two years as director at the Henry Ford Industrial School at Sudbury, Mass., and one year as instructor in Physical Education at Webster Junior High School in Auburn, Me.

The two other new members of the faculty, previously announced, are Col. Richard H. Somers USA, retired, of Washington, D. C., who assumed the post of Visiting Lecturer in Mathematics with the rank of Assistant Professor, and David B. Kirk of Haverford College, who joined the mathematics staff as instructor.
