AMONG the uncolonized regions of the world none is receiving more attention today than the Arctic. At Dartmouth interest in this new frontier has been alive for many years and has advanced to an active stage that is perhaps unmatched at any other American college. The activities of undergraduates and alumni, the .special studies of faculty members, the summer and winter expeditions, the deposit of the famous Stefansson Library in Baker, the introduction this semester of a new Seminar on the Arctic, and current planning for enlarged studies in this field are all facets of a rather exciting new educational development at the College. In this month's lead article, The New Frontier (Page 12), John Hurd '21, Associate Editor of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, writes both of the new importance of the Arctic and of Dartmouth's desire and special aptitude for doing something about it.
This month's issue contains also the second article in a series that the MAGAZINE is presenting in cooperation with the Committee on Educational Policy. Written by Prof. James P. Poole of the Botany Department, it reports the findings of the CEP's recently completed survey of the Great Issues Course. The FirstFive Years begins on Page 18.
