U.N. Consultant

President Dickey last month accepted appointment as United States Consultant on the Collective Measures Committee of the United Nations. His duties, under Harding F. Bancroft, full-time American member, will take him away from Hanover only periodically.

The Collective Measures Committee, consisting of representatives from 14 nations, was created by the General Assembly last fall when it adopted the Acheson plan for strengthening the U.N.'s collective security system. The plan calls for the use of armed forces by the General Assembly if the Security Council fails to act in an international situation requiring military force to repel aggression or keep the peace.

President Dickey's appointment to the U. N. committee staff extends his present association with the State Department, for which he has been serving since 1948 as member of the advisory committee of the Foreign Service Institute. His first direct relationship to the United Nations was in 1945, when he served as public liaison officer of the United States delegation to the San Francisco Conference on the United Nations Charter. In 1947, two years after assuming the presidency of Dartmouth, he was named by the State Department to go to Havana as adviser to the American delegation at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Employment.

President Dickey currently holds two other advisory positions as member of the Board of Consultants of the National War College and advisory member of the Social Science Foundation of the University of Denver. He is also a member of the Rockefeller Foundation and of the American Bar Association's Committee to Survey the Legal Profession, as well as a trustee of Wellesley College, the Brookings Institution, the World Peace Foundation, and the Committee for Economic Development.

These associations are cited to give some inkling of the tremendous outside demands made upon President Dickey through the combination of his own outstanding abilities and his position. as the head of one of America's foremost colleges. The advantage to Dartmouth is great, and so is the extra load the President is willing to carry for that reason.
