Twenty members of the U.N. Secretariat, representing twenty different countries, will be the guests of the College over the long weekend of May 30. In response to a suggestion made by the Volunteer Services at the United Nations to President Dickey, the group has been invited to Hanover to enjoy the hospitality of a liberal arts college and a New England college town. The Hanover League of Women Voters is cooperating with the College in arranging a program for the U.N. visitors.

On Saturday night the College will give a reception in Dartmouth House, where the U.N. guests may meet students, faculty and townspeople. On Sunday and Monday they will be taken on tours of the College and Hanover schools, and will be entertained by the International Relations Club and the Cosmopolitan Club. Foreign students at Dartmouth who come from the countries represented by the delegates will be entertained with them at luncheons and dinners in the homes of townspeople. All the delegates will be house guests of Hanover residents for the weekend.

Two new members were named to the Board of Overseers of the Hanover Inn at the spring meeting of the board. Archie B. Gile '17 of Hanover and S. Lane Dwinell '28 of Lebanon, President of the New Hampshire State Senate, have been elected to serve until June 30, 1954. In making the announcement, Victor G. Borella '30, chairman of the Board of Overseers, pointed out that the appointment of the two men meets a long felt need for local representation in the handling of problems which arise in connection with the operation of the Inn.

Clark School, the preparatory school for boys which was established in Hanover in 1919, will leave the local scene when, on July 1, it officially merges with Cardigan Mountain School for Boys in Canaan, N.H. The seven buildings belonging to Clark School have been put up for sale and local interest centers around the possibility that the College may acquire them.

Clark School offered courses for grades 8 through 12, while Cardigan Mountain School at present offers courses for boys in grades 4 through 9. It is hoped that eventually the new combination formed by the two schools will include pupils of high school ages. Next summer will inaugurate a million-dollar building program for the Cardigan Mountain School, according to a recent statement by Harold P. Hinman '10, president of the school. Situated on the old HafTenreffer estate of 140 acres overlooking the Canaan Street lake, Cardigan School was founded with the idea of combining outdoor with classroom learning. It was established largely through the efforts of Dartmouth men.
