Miscellany

THE new, 1955 edition of the Dartmouth Alumni Directory is now out, with a listing of 27,414 living graduates and non-graduates, some 3,700 more names than appeared in the 1950 directory. Including the Classes of 1884 through 1955, the new volume gives the names, addresses and occupations of all living alumni. There is both a geographical and alphabetical index. Following the Class of 1955 are the Associated School lists, and the holders of advanced and honorary degrees.

Produced by photo-lithography from typescript, the 1955 directory is set in larger type than its predecessor, and runs to 672 pages. The price, postpaid, is $6.50 per copy, and books may be purchased through Dartmouth Publications, Han- over, N.H.

Dartmouth's Air Force ROTC drill team once more marched off with top honors in the New England championships meet held last month. This is the second consecutive year that Dartmouth has won the unarmed competition in the annual ROTC drill meet. A 22-member unit from the College retained the championship, competing with 300 cadets who represented thirteen colleges and universities from the six New England states. More than 1400 people watched the daylong contest which was judged by the Air Force drill and ceremonial team of Washington, D. C. The University of Massachusetts was winner in the armed class, and Dartmouth in the unarmed group.

Eighty New Hampshire high school students attended the sixth annual New Hampshire Science Fair, which was held at Dartmouth under the direction of Allen L. King, Professor of Physics, April 20 and 21. The students placed on display work of their own in physics, biology and chemistry in College Hall, where the experiments were judged by a fourteen-member committee. The first award winners then go on to compete at the New England Science Fair at the Boston Museum of Science. The College laboratories held Open House to the future scientists, and professors explained current research projects to them. A demonstration talk by Francis W. Sears, Visiting Professor of Physics at Dartmouth from M.I.T., was a highlight.

The Amos Tuck School acted as host to the annual Bi-State Conference of Industrialists on April 21, when Dean Arthur R. Upgren addressed fifty outstanding businessmen and manufacturers from New Hampshire and Vermont on "Business Prospects." This year the session centered around a luncheon at which the work of the late Frederick W. Taylor and Harlow S. Person, A.M. '09, famous pioneers in scientific management, was commemorated. Nathaniel G. Burleigh '11, Professor of Industrial Management at Tuck School, spoke on their contributions to the world of business. A panel of graduate students discussed the "Guaranteed Annual Wage."
