FOR the liberal arts college, seeking to make its maximum contribution to the nation in this "cold war" period and finding one immediate and practical way in the expanded ROTC program, a special problem is developing from the very nature of the college's educational purpose. What this problem is and why the liberal arts colleges show increasing concern over it is excellently presented in this month's lead article, The Cold War and Liberal Education (Page 16), written by Prof. Stearns Morse. Dean of Freshmen.
Biggest Dartmouth news of the past month was the decision of Dean Neidlinger to resign his position at the end of this academic year. The story of his resignation and some pictorial highlights of his 18 years as Dean of the College will be found on Pages 21 to 23.
Richard Eberhart '26 is a Dartmouth poet of growing stature. An appreciation of his work (Page 24) has been written by Prof. John W. Finch of the English Department; and with this the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is proud to print for the first time one of Mr. Eberhart's poems, The Great Stone Face.
