ALUMNI AT WORK

The Dartmouth Alumni Council met in Hanover last month, January 13 to 15, to consider a variety of topics of vital importance to the College. That thirty of the Council's thirty-five members, all busy men, gathered from near and far to give the alumni a voice in Dartmouth affairs was once more an impressive demonstration of alumni interest and service in action. The Council's day-long programs were working sessions, and an eavesdropper at the social interludes would have discovered serious discussions going on even there. As these photographs show, there was a lot of talking - and listening - during the three days, but that is the essence of being the "senate" for Dartmouth's alumni body.

The Council's work day begins with breakfast meetings at 8 . . .
