New Administrators

Two YOUNG DARTMOUTH graduates joined the administrative staff of the College this summer, Richard A. Sawyer '41 assuming the post of Assistant Registrar on July 1 and Elmer G. Stevens '43 taking over the position of Secretary of the Dartmouth College Public Relations Council on September 1. Sawyer came to Dartmouth from the Cardigan Mountain School, where he was assistant headmaster, and Stevens from The Worcester (Mass.) Telegram, on which he had been serving as a news reporter. Stevens has also been named Assistant Editor of the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE, succeeding James L. Farley '42 who has resigned from the MAGAZINE and as assistant director of the Dartmouth College News Service.

Following his graduation from Dartmouth, Sawyer taught at Kimball Union Academy for a year before entering the service, first as an aviation cadet and then as an officer in the Medical Administrative Corps. After serving with the Air Corps in the Asiatic Pacific, Burma and China, he was honorably discharged with the rank of First Lieutenant and took up his post with the Cardigan Mountain School in May 1946. He was married in 1942 to the former Barbara L. Kenney of Hudson Falls, N. Y. A native of Lebanon, N. H., he was a member of Palaeopitus, Dragon and Delta Kappa Epsilon, and won numerals in football and track.

Stevens, a native of Exeter, N. H., was with the Concord, N. H., bureau of The Associated Press before going to TheWorcester Telegram last year. As a Dartmouth undergraduate he was managing editor and later editorial chairman of TheDartmouth, and was a member of the Press Club. During the war he served with the U. S. Army in France and Germany and at the close of hostilities was with the military government in Bremen.

As secretary of the Dartmouth Public Relations Council, which was reorganized last spring under the chairmanship of Sidney C. Hayward '26, Stevens will be the executive officer of a program designed to coordinate all public relations activities on the campus. His main duties, however, will be related to the operation of the news service office, which handles public information about the academic departments of the College.
