Social Committee
March 1946

To GIVE coordination to the revival and reconstruction efforts of social and selfgoverning student activities at Dartmouth, President Dickey has named an undergraduate-faculty Committee on Social Organizations. This temporary agency will provide guidance next term to such student groups as Palaeopitus, Green Key, the fraternities, dormitories, senior societies and undergraduate classes. Sidney C. Hayward '26, Secretary of the College, has been named chairman, and Charles F. Camp '42, College Officer in Charge of Fraternities, executive secretary.

President Dickey stated that he was naming the committee "as a temporary means of achieving the postwar reconstruction and more effective operation of social activities in the College." He also asked the group to report to him by next fall on the most desirable future organization of social and self-governing activities on the campus. Whether these should be brought together permanently under a council, similar to the Dartmouth College Athletic Council or the Council on Student Organizations, or whether the social and selfgoverning student groups should become allied with some existing overall group, will form part of the committee's study.

In addition to Mr. Hayward and Mr. Camp, members o£ the committee include Dean Neidlinger, Prof. John B. Stearns 'l6, Prof. Martin Lindahl, Warner Bentley, James M. Coleman Jr. '46 representing Green Key, Frederick C. Witzel '44 representing the Interfraternity Council, and Richard Owen '45 representing the Interdormitory Council.
