Campus Events

Although the traditional Dartmouth Winter Carnival, which falls this year on February 6-8, must be listed as the top attraction on the winter calendar, the highspot of the year for the Class of 1956 comes on the following weekend. February 13-15, when the freshmen play host to their Dads at the Fourth Annual Freshman Fathers' Weekend. Organized by the Executive Committee of the Class of 1956, the Fathers' Weekend program includes a fathers-sons banquet with speakers including President Dickey, Dean of Freshmen Stearns Morse and a spokesman for the fathers. For a real insight into Dartmouth life, the '56 fathers will room with their sons in college dorms, attend classes, eat in the college cafeteria, watch a series of athletic events and generally participate in the college routine. Last year some 250 freshman fathers turned out and the weekend has become a successful and traditional part of the college calendar.

Immediately following the Winter Carnival weekend, Dartmouth College will play host to some too public relations officers from the New England colleges and universities. This gathering, which is the annual meeting of District I of the American College Public Relations Association, will be held from Tuesday to Thursday, February 10-12, and several Dartmouth alumni prominent in the fields of public relations, press, radio and television will participate in seminars or as guest speakers. Charles E. Widmayer '30, director of the New England district of ACPRA, is conference chairman.

A large number of alumni will return to Hanover during the last part of February, when four class reunions are scheduled; three of them will be father-son events, with mothers and all other classmates and their wives on the invitation list. The annual Class of 1914 Sno-Bird Party comes on the weekend of February 20-22. The Classes of 1919, 1923 and 1926 will hold their fathers-and-sons reunions the weekend beginning February 27. On March 14 the freshmen take over without parental supervision, when their dates arrive for the freshman social event of the year, the Little Green Weekend.

LAST VANTAGE POINT? Upon telling a physics professor that he had photographed the Dart- mouth campus from just about every angle except from the top of the Wilder Hall radio tower, Adrian Bouchard was promptly invited to climb the tower and get the picture, looking southwest, that is reproduced above.
