Miscellany

DARTMOUTH was host February 18-19 for the 10th annual Pentagonal Conference bringing together officers of Amherst, Bowdoin, Dartmouth, Wesleyan and Williams for the discussion of administrative and curricular problems common to this group of undergraduate liberal arts colleges.

Important visitors to the Dartmouth campus throughout the college year are the guest preachers for the College Services held each month in Rollins Chapel in cooperation with the Church of Christ and St. Thomas Church. The February preacher was the Rev. James Muilenburg, Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament at Union Theological Seminary. Other visiting preachers this year have been Dr. John S. Whale of England; the Rt. Rev. John T. Dallas, retired Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire; and Dr. Albert T. Mollegen, Professor of Christian Ethics at Virginia Theological Seminary.

D.O.C. searching parties went rushing to Mt. Moosilauke last month when it was learned that two juniors had become separated from their party in a blinding snow and sleet storm. Four radio-equipped search teams reached the Ravine Lodge at 4 a.m. and there turned on all the lights while awaiting dawn and the start of an organized hunt. Before starting up the mountain, however, someone thought of searching the Ravine Lodge cabins and there found the missing pair asleep in their sleeping bags. Mountaineering training and proper equipment paid off for the lost men, who had to battle a severe mountain storm and winds so fierce that skis, snowshoes and unlashed equipment were all swept away.
