Arctic Specialist

PRESIDENT DICKEY last month announced the appointment of David C. Nutt '41 of Hanover as Arctic Specialist in the College Museum. Nutt has been granted a leave of absence from November to April in order to accompany a U. S. Naval expedition to the Antarctic. Upon his return he will work with Dartmouth undergraduates interested in the far north.

Nutt has long been interested in the Arctic. From 1935 to 1940 he accompanied the late Capt. Robert Bartlett on five summer trips to this region. During the war he was executive officer on the U.S.S. Bowdoin which was conducting hydrographic surveys off Greenland from 1942 to 1943. Later he was commander of the U.S.S.Summer, which made similar surveys in the Pacific.
