Cost of Education Plan
December 1953

THE Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees has authorized the appointment of a special advisory committee "to study the problems involved in establishing a program of supplemental grants or loans for full-time college faculty and employees to assist them in the college education of children not eligible for a Dartmouth education." The committee will make its report to the Trustees later in this academic year.

Traditionally, Dartmouth has granted full-tuition scholarships to the sons of College faculty and administrative officers accepted for admission. The recently named advisory committee will investigate the possibility of going beyond this traditional procedure, in order to provide financial assistance for the college education of daughters and of sons either not admitted to Dartmouth or electing to attend college elsewhere. Among the various aspects of the problem to be studied by the committee will be the proposal known as the Faculty Children's Tuition Exchange Plan, sponsored by Dean Robert R. Brooks of Williams College.

The College officers making up the advisory committee are: Sidney C. Hayward '26, Secretary of the College, chairman; Professors William A. Carter '20, Carl D. England, and Albert H. Hastorf; Albert I. Dickerson '30, Director of the Offices of Admissions and Financial Aid; and John F. Meek '33, Vice President and Treasurer of the College.
