Speakers Bureau Busy
February 1945

THE DARTMOUTH SPEAKERS BUREAU, though only a few months old, has become a busy recipient of many requests for faculty speakers for public meetings, clubs and forums in the North Country. The service which the College is providing neighboring communities through the bureau apparently was much needed.

The region covered by the bureau since September runs "from Boston to Derby Line," according to Prof. Herbert W. Hill, its director. About fifty speaking engagements have been filled by faculty members supplied to organizations by the bureau since it was formed and many more requests have been received. Topics covered by the Dartmouth speakers included Dumbarton Oaks, stamp collecting, wild life, and taxation.

Late in January, the Bureau arranged for a series to be given at the Veterans' Hospital, White River Junction, which comprised eight talks.

A ONE MAN SHIPYARD is set up in the Student Workshop in Bissel! Hall where Prof. Byers Unger of the Zoology Department turns out ship models perfect in detail for use in the V-12 courses in Naval Organization. In the above picture of the "ways/' Professor Unger is shown working on a battleship, his eighth model. In the foreground is an LSI.
