Trustee Actions
FOLLOWING the annual spring meeting of the Dartmouth Board of Trustees, President Dickey announced a number of actions that were taken with regard to the faculty. He reported the Board's approval of a new name for the Department of Public Speaking, which will henceforth be known as the Department of Speech. An individual change in title is that of Alvin L. Pianca from Professor of Spanish to Professor of Italian, while standard nomenclature for all part-time assistants or instructors in the various science departments will hereafter list them as Teaching Fellows with faculty status but no voting privileges. The status of a full member of the faculty was voted by the Trustees to the Director of the Office of Admissions.
President Dickey also announced approval of first-semester leave during the academic year 1947-48 for the following eleven faculty members: Churchill P. Lathrop, Professor of Art; Frederick S. Page, Professor of Botany; Arthur Dewing, Assistant Professor of English; John Hurd, Professor of English; Dayton D. McKean, Professor of Government; Lewis D. Stilwell, Professor of History; Theodore F. Karwoski, Professor of Psychology; Foster E. Guyer, Professor of French; McQuilkin DeGrange, Professor of Sociology; William W. Ballard, Professor of Zoology; and George C. Wood, Professor of Belles Lettres.
Two new Medical School faculty appointments approved by the Board were those of Richard A. McLean as Instructor in Pharmacology, beginning April i, and Niels L. Anthonisen as Instructor in Psychiatry, also effective as of April 1. Mr. McLean has been granted a year's leave by the Smith, Kline and French Laboratories with which he is associated, while Mr. Anthonisen in his psychiatric work will be largely engaged at the Veterans Hospital in White River Junction, where by Veterans Administration contract the Dartmouth Medical School is in charge of staff work.
Among non-faculty matters voted by the Trustees, January i, 1947, proclaimed by President Truman as the end of World War II hostilities, was adopted as the terminal date on eligibility for the Hopkins Scholarships which Dartmouth will award to the sons of Dartmouth men killed in military service.
