DARTMOUTH ALUMNI, of all people, do not need to be sold on the idea of the liberal arts college; but even among Dartmouth men there is not always clear understanding of the essential character of liberal arts education or of the indispensable place it holds in the present efforts and future hopes of the free world. This month, in its lead article, the MAGAZINE presents an excellent evaluation of liberal arts, education by William Stuart Messer, Daniel Webster Professor of the Latin Language and Literature. Until recently a member of the Dartmouth Development Council, he is deeply concerned over the survival of colleges like Dartmouth and prefaces his discussion of alumni backing with an explanation of why the liberal arts college is deserving of everyone's support. His article, Blueprint for Survival, begins on Page 12.
John Hurd '21, associate editor, is our specialist on Dartmouth profiles. For this issue he has written a sketch of Harold G. Rugg '06, Assistant Librarian of the College, who in his 68 years of living has done an amazing variety of things. The profile, He Values theRare in Books and Life, will be found on Page 17.
