Additional personnel will be secured to assist him in this enlarged responsibility.

Robert K. Hage '35, until recently executive secretary of the Hopkins Center Project, has been named Assistant Director of Admissions, under Director Albert I. Dickerson '30, and has begun his new duties. This appointment fills the vacancy created when Edward T. Chamberlain Jr. '36 left the admissions office to accept the position of Assistant Director of Athletics.

The third appointment made known by President Dickey was that of John de la Montagne '42 of Moose, Wyoming, as Assistant to the Director of Admissions, effective with the opening of the new college year.

LONG-RANGE FUND PROGRAM

The appointment of Mr. Colton as op erating head of the combined administrative staffs on fund-raising is an important first step in a Trustee-sponsored program to give greater coordination and longrange planning to all fund-raising activities undertaken in the name of the College. The new organization is expected to give more effective direction from Hanover not only to such major projects as the Hopkins Center, the Alumni Fund and Class Memorial Funds but also to others in the future.

Organizationally, Mr. Colton will, in general, function under the Secretary of the College. General responsibility for the Hopkins Center Project in particular will continue to be held by the executive committee of Harvey P. Hood '18, John W. Hubbell '21, and Sidney C. Hayward '26, on behalf of the Board of Trustees and the Alumni Council.
