Dartmouth at Hood

In taking the position of assistant to Dr. Andrew G. Truxal, formerly of Dartmouth's Sociology Department, now President of Hood College, Herbert N. Heston '34 has changed his profession but not his avocation. This has been, ever since graduation from Dartmouth, an active interest in the liberal arts college and the community which it serves.

As head of the public relations department at Hood, which is part of his new assignment, Mr. Heston will have the opportunity of working with Dr. Truxal, whose student he was at Dartmouth and whose friend he has been since, as well as the challenge of keeping 500 Hood girls on the map.

Believing, as he Wholeheartedly does, that the independent, liberal arts college has an irreplaceable and continuing part to play in modern education, Mr. Heston has given a good deal of his time to fund raising for The Haverford School, of which he is an alumnus, to Dartmouth alumni activities, and other similar endeavors extracurricular to his former job—that of being a successful wool merchant in Philadelphia. This belief finally led him to desert the business world for full-time work in education. He sees his work at Hood as a welcome chance for relating the interests of both college and communityespecially in a girls' school where many of the graduates are destined to lead lives of community responsibility.

The Hestons have three children, Eleanor, 14, Patsy, is, and Frank, 6.

IT WAS THE SUN and not the problem of 500 female students that furrowed the brows of President Andrew G. Truxal '36h of Hood College and Herb Heston '34, his new assistant in Frederick, Md.
