In Brief . . .
THE firm of Campbell and Aldrich, Boston architects, has been retained by the College as consultants, according to a recent announcement by President Dickey. They will advise on individual architectural problems and on the selection of architects for specific construction work in the future. In addition, on a consulting basis, they will work on the development of a master plan to meet the College's long-range needs now being studied by the Trustees' Advisory Committee on Plant Development.
The Department of Economics has announced that beginning next fall it will offer special honors sections in some of its courses. These seminar sections will be open to qualified juniors and seniors (a "B" average in Economics courses and an overall average of 4.0) in courses dealing with corporations and trusts, money and banking, labor, public finance, and international economics. Emphasis will be upon student discussion and research, and men will be encouraged to do independent work on problems that particularly interest them. As additional moves to strengthen its curriculum, the Department will also offer a seminar course in the "Economics of National Resources," to be taught by Prof. L. Gregory Hines, and a new course in economic theory considered essential for men planning to do graduate work in Economics. The latter course will be taught by Instructor James B. Jones.
The annual spring meeting of Dartmouth alumni officers will be held in Hanover on the weekend of May 6-7. Key alumni workers who will return as guests of the College are class and club secretaries, class presidents, class treasurers, class agents, class bequest chairmen and memorial fund chairmen, and the reunion chairmen and newsletter editors of the classes holding official reunions in June.
Thirteen classes are holding reunions this year on a new, staggered schedule that will mean having varying groups of alumni in town for ten consecutive days. The Classes of 1890, 1895, 1900 and 1905 will gather on Commencement Weekend, June 10-12. As an innovation, 1909, 1910 and 1911 will reune Monday through Wednesday, June 13-15. Then the 25-year class, 1930, will arrive Thursday, June 16, to be guests of the College for the first of four days in Hanover and to enjoy a special Hanover Holiday program before five other classes - 1915, 1934, 1935, and 1945 - reach town to join in the final and biggest reunion weekend, June 17-19. The class reunions of 1909, 1910 and 1911 will coincide with the three-day Hanover Holiday program, June 13-15, described in an article in this issue.
A regional alumni conference, similar to those previously held in Denver, Atlanta, Dallas and Kansas City, has been scheduled for San Francisco next October 6 to 9.
