The dormitory, formerly the property of Clark School, is a three-story brick building on North Main Street. A portion of the first floor is being devoted to a lounge room, the rest of the building to rooms for 36 students. The dormitory will be used for Carnival dates and then occupied by students moving from Brewster Hall.

Upon graduation he went to work for the United Fruit Company, becoming president of this firm in 1924.

Another building purchased by Dartmouth, following Clark School's suspension of operations last summer, will be called Fairbanks Hall, in honor of the late Prof. Arthur Fairbanks of the Class of 1886. Situated at 1 Elm Street, just north of Carpenter Hall, this will be used as a new classroom building for art and architecture, basic design and instructional films.

Space will be available for studios, motion-picture screening and a film library, consolidating the visual side of college instruction in one area. Fairbanks Hall will also be ready for the second semester.

Professor Fairbanks was a member of the College faculty from 1886 until 1892. He served as director of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts from 1907 to 1925, then returned to Dartmouth as Professor of Fine Arts, to teach until 1932.
