High-Level discussions, the highest in fact in the long history of the Dartmouth Alumni Council, are in store for the Council at its June 18-19 meeting. Members and officers of the College will hold their annual June session on the summit of Mt. Washington, which the College owns. The Alumni Councillors will spend Thursday night on the summit, after dinner there and an evening meeting to be addressed by President Dickey. A Friday morning session will be followed by a mountain luncheon to which the wives and children of Alumni Council members are invited. Special trains on the Cog Railway, also College-owned, will provide transportation up and down the mountain.

President Dickey on May 21 was elected one of three public representatives on the Board of Governors of the New York Stock Exchange. He succeeds Dr. Henry M. Wriston, President of Brown University, who left the board in November.

Robert L. Allen '45, a member of the Dartmouth administrative staff since 1949, has been named Assistant Secretary of the College. He has been assistant to Sidney C. Hayward '26, Secretary of the College, since 1951 and for two years prior to that was associated with the Dartmouth Development Council. In his new post he will have important responsibilities in connection with public and alumni relations and will be in charge of movie, radio and television developments. He will also work on special publications and will continue to edit From Hanover, the magazine sent by the College to parents of Dartmouth undergraduates.

The Moosilauke Ravine Lodge, closed since last November, reopened for the summer season on May 29. Robert E. Hooker '30, manager from 1948 to 1951, has returned to his former post after two years spent in Switzerland studying hotel management. William I. Borman '53 will be among those assisting him. The Ravine Lodge will close the latter part of October, unless the Dartmouth Trustees change their present decision not to operate it in the winter.
