In Brief

The Dartmouth faculty last month adopted a new plan of organization to go into effect September 1. In place of the present Faculty Council of 40 members there will be an Executive Committee of 20 members, and in place of one annual meeting there will be three regular meetings of the full faculty, "with the strong possibility that special meetings will also be held." The present Committee on Educational Policy will be continued. In essence, the reorganization creates a smaller group to act on behalf of the faculty in many routine matters and returns somewhat to the days, before the Faculty Council, when the full faculty held frequent regular meetings. The new Executive Committee, headed by the President, will consist of seven ex-officio members, nine members equally representing the three Divisions, and four members elected by the faculty as a whole.

The annual spring meeting of Dartmouth alumni officers will be held in Hanover on the weekend of May 8-9. In addition to the traditional group meetings of club secretaries and class secretaries, treasurers, agents, memorial fund chairmen and bequest chairmen, class presidents and class chairmen have been invited for the first time to hold a separate session as an experiment.
