With the Faculty

Two MEMBERS of the Dartmouth faculty, Frank H. Connell '2B, Professor of Zoology and Professor of Parasitology of the Medical School, and Dr. Jarrett H. Folley, Instructor in Medicine in the Medical School, have left for Japan to work with the National Research Council's Atomic Bomb Casualties Committee. Professor Connell will organize a parasitology department with diagnostic centers for the purpose of separating diseases due to parasites from those caused by radiation, in the vicinities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Dr. Folley will set up an investigation of the effects of radiation on human beings exposed to the two blasts set off in 1945. There are to be two large centers, equipped to handle as many people as possible, with one in each of the two bombed cities.

Professor Connell and Dr. Folley are accompanied by their families and will remain in the city of Kure, in one of the two compounds made up of three or four thousand Australians and U.S. Army people, for about two years. They will be joined in June by Dr. Brewster C. Breeden and in November by Dr. David L. Hoffman '43, both internes-in-residence at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital.

In addition to organizing the clinics, the Dartmouth scientists will be engaged in research work, consultations, and lectures in Japanese schools for medical students.

Professor Davidson served as chairman of a group which had as its discussion subject, "Removing the Barriers to Educational Opportunity.

Sponsored by the Department of Higher Education of the National Education Association of the United States, this conference brings together representative leaders in school administration and education. In order to deal most effectively with the problems faced in American higher education at the present time, their work is done according to a cooperative technique. Each working group has its chairman and analyst and participates first in small, then in large gatherings—taking up in each case the subjects chosen for conference study and discussion.

PARTICIPATING in the annual convention of the Eastern Psychological Association, Theodore F. Karwoski, Professor of Psychology, and Matthew J. Wayner Jr. '49 of Tufts College gave a paper on "Interaction of Rods and Cones in After Sen- sations" on April 14.

Addressing a morning session, he was quoted in The New YorkTimes as saying that "liberty in the modern state is dependent upon authority for its existence, but a free people must be on guard lest this truth become a rationalization used to justify unnecessary encroachment upon individual freedom."

Professor Carr was Executive Secretary of President Truman's Committee on Civil Rights. Since the appearance of the Committee's report, in which he had a major hand, he has had many invitations to speak on civil rights.
