Table of Contents

THE feature contents of this issue are devoted entirely to the Faculty of the College. It is impossible in the limited space available to tell fully the story of teaching at Dartmouth - it is difficult enough to achieve an adequate representation - but the editors hope the articles and photographs on Pages 14 through 35 will serve to acquaint the alumni with something of the spirit and work of the teachers who provide the central strength of the College.

In the lead article this month (Page 14), Prof. Donald H. Morrison, Dean of the Faculty, discusses various aspects of recruiting and maintaining a first-rate faculty and also deals with some of the long-range teaching problems with which the College must contend. One of Dartmouth's outstanding teachers, Prof. Royal C. Nemiah, has written Testament of a Teacher (Page 22), an article that in itself makes clear the qualities the College is fortunate to have in its professors. A third article, contributed by Prof. John Clinton Adams, deals with The Teacher ofSocial Science and the World Crisis (Page 28) and forcibly demonstrates the extent to which the college professor today must ponder his role in the world-wide battle for the minds of men. And, fourth, the lasting impression that a faculty personality can. make upon a Dartmouth graduate is told by John L. Montague '28, who in My "Most UnforgettableCharacter" (Page 34) writes about the late Professor George Dana Lord '84.

For the three photographic essays on the faculty (pages 18-21, 26-27 and 32-33) as well as other pictures illustrating this month's articles, we are indebted to Adrian Bouchard.
