A Busy Schedule
May 1948

THE resumption of classes on April 5, after a spring vacation of one week, marked the start also of a concentrated 15-day schedule of campus events, including six visiting speakers, three faculty talks, two musical programs, foreign and documentary films, and The Players' three-night production of Strindberg's TheFather, April 15-17.

Visiting speakers included explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson, who concluded his series of lectures on the Arctic; Dr. Paul Sweezy, who discussed U. S. foreign policy in a talk sponsored by Students for Wallace; Dr. Sidney Lovett, Yale chaplain, who led a College Service in Rollins Chapel; Rev. J. Desmond O'Connor of the University of New Hampshire, whose talk was sponsored by the Catholic Newman Club; and John H. Lawson and Adrian Scott, Hollywood writers, who spoke on civil rights.

A Sunday musical by the Dartmouth String Quartet and a Russian program sponsored by the newly formed Russian Club provided the musical events.
