The Faculty

AMONG newcomers to the Dartmouth faculty this fall are two visiting lecturers. Prof. Jack H. Sandground, formerly Lecturer in the Department of Preventive Medicine at New York Medical School and Parasitologist at New York's Bellevue Hospital, will teach in the Zoology Department and also act as visiting professor in the Dartmouth Medical School. He is to replace Prof. Frank H. Connell '28 who has been granted leave to return to Japan to continue research with the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission. Professor Sandground received the B.Sc. degree from the South African School of Mines; the M.Sc. degree from South African University; and the Sc.D. degree from Johns Hopkins.

Dr. Frederick J. Dockstader will serve as Visiting Curator of Anthropology in the Museum.

RALPH A. BURNS, Professor of Education, has returned to die College after a four-year leave of absence during which he served as Chief of the Exchanges Program for the Office of Public Affairs in the United States High Commission in Germany. Professor Burns administered the program for education specialists to help reorganize German education along more democratic lines after the war. He pioneered and developed the vast "Exchange of Persons Program" which has sent more than 8,000 Germans-influential people from all fields of social organization, professional trainees, and students- to the United States to study and observe democracy in action, and has brought hundreds of American instructors to Germany. Under his direction the program grew to be the largest operated by the State Department anywhere in the world, involving an expenditure of over twenty million dollars. He also negotiated the Fulbright Agreement between Germany and the United States, which will provide one million dollars a year for a bi-nationally operated exchange of persons in addition to the previous program.

Professor Burns was recently commended by the retiring United States High Commissioner John J. McCloy, who wrote, "Germans and Americans all owe you a debt of gratitude for the services you have rendered."

THE Dartmouth faculty has once again been "raided" by a sister institution in quest of an administrative officer. Dayton D. McKean, Professor of Government, has resigned to accept an appointment as Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Colorado, his alma mater. A member of the faculty since 1937, Professor McKean has taught courses on state and local government and American parties and politics. In addition, he is the author of several books, articles, and reviews and has also been active in professional organizations and in New Jersey and New Hampshire politics. At Colorado Professor McKean will teach courses in government in addition to his duties as dean.

ANOTHER departure that will be felt in the community is that of Arnold Kunrad Kvam, Assistant Professor of Music and Director of the Handel Society Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, who has left Dartmouth to become Chairman of the Music Department and Adjunct Professor of Music at New Jersey College for Women, Rutgers University. In addition to his administrative and teaching duties, Professor Kvam will coordinate music activities at the State University and serve as director of the Elizabeth Rodman Voorhees Chapel Choir.

THE annual meeting of the American Psychological Association, held in Washington, D. C., during the first week in September, was attended by Professors Chauncey N. Allen '24, Irving E. Bender, Theodore F. Karwoski, Henry S. Odbert '30, and Francis W. King of the Dartmouth Psychology Department. Professor Allen contributed a paper to a symposium on "The Believability of Advertisements," of which he was also chairman. Professor Bender presented a paper, written jointly with Professor Albert H. Hastorf, on the subject "A Proposed Method for the Measurement of Empathic Ability."

THE College was also well represented at the 17th International Geographical Congress, held in Washington, D. C., August 8-15, by far the largest group of geographers ever to gather in one place, including almost 1500 delegates from 55 countries. Prof. Trevor Lloyd presented a paper on some hitherto little-known aspects of the Arctic end of the Iron Curtain; Prof. Albert S. Carlson was a member of the Program Committee; and George R. Dalphin '47, Baker Library Map Curator, participated in discussions of old maps. Two recent Dartmouth graduates—Richard P. Momson '46 and Jack Snobble '45 acted as guides and interpreters, and four other young alumni, now employed as geographers in Washington, also attended the meetings Thomas Goodman '51, Richard Mason '51, G. D. Blodgett '50, and George MacGillivray '48.

THE American Council of Learned Societies has awarded Jerome Taylor, Assistant Professor of English, an Advanced Graduate Fellowship to spend a year as a student-at-large in the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies in Toronto, Canada.

Professor Taylor's project involves both seminars and research in mediaeval thought and culture. His interest is in the mediaeval view of man and of his intellectual and spiritual reach, his view of the universe and life, and in the mediaeval view of the integration of knowledge.

A candidate for the Ph.D. degree at the University of Chicago, Professor Taylor will utilize his year of studies in Toronto towards the fulfilment of the requirements. He hopes to find time also for the investigation of early Anglo-Latin humanists and their writings.

ASKED by the College to attend Harvard's Regional Program on the Soviet Union, Elmer Harp Jr., Curator of Anthropology in the Museum and Assistant Professor of Sociology, has left Hanover for a two-year period. During his first year of study at Harvard he will spend much of his time mastering the fundamentals of the Russian language, along with attending basic distribution courses offered in the Regional Program. During the second year Professor Harp will take concentrated work in the fields of anthropology and sociology, as they concern the Soviet Union. An intermediate summer term will be devoted to further language study. Upon his return to the College Professor Harp will teach in the recently instituted Department of Russian Civilization.
