THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE inaugurates with this issue a series of articles on some of the vital issues of the day, both national and international. The general title So LittleTime, as indeed the impetus for the whole series of articles, has come from President Dickey's Dartmouth Night address in which he said: "In all your learning get not only wisdom but also build the will and acquire the capacity for doing something about those things which need doing I do want very much that this generation of educated men of Dartmouth should 'Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.' And remember this: there is so little time."

President Dickey has kindly prepared for us a foreword to the series, found on Page 11, and as our first, and somewhat prefatory, articles we offer statements by three veteransone back for senior year, one starting as a freshman, and one back as a married manon the question Does Postwar DartmouthMeasure Up to the Ideals and IntellectualNeeds of the Returned Veteran? After thus starting things at home, the MAGAZINE will offer the views of two or three individuals each month on such issues as the atomic bomb, labor's growing power in national life, world government, American foreign policy, art in the postwar world, and the like.

The editors invite suggestions as to what the most vital issues of the modern world are, and since So Little Time is being undertaken in an effort to search out the vitality of postwar Dartmouth and to forge a stronger educational link between the College and its alumni, we especially invite brief statements of alumni views on all these issues. We hope to revitalize the "Letters to the Editor" department which has been in the doldrums.

The Cover When we asked David W. Heusinkveld '49 to let us take his picture studying for February final exams we did not have this pose in mind, but he suggested it and we liked it. Adrian Bouchard was the photographer.
