In Brief . . .
THE new Choate Road dormitory group - Bissell Hall, Brown Hall, Cohen Hall and Little Hall - was formerly dedicated with ceremonies in the central court of the dormitories on Friday afternoon, September 26. Members of the families of the four distinguished Dartmouth alumni for whom the residence halls are named, were present.
Speakers at the ceremonies included John F. Meek '33, vice president and treasurer of the College, who described the new concept of the dormitories, and President Dickey, who spoke on "A New Dimension."
The new dormitory group, fully used for the first time this fall, includes a connecting lounge for each pair of halls, and two adjoining homes for the faculty residents, an experiment this year. The dorms bear the names of George H. Bissell, Class of 1845, pioneer oil man; Albert O. Brown, Class of 1881, Dartmouth Trustee and Governor of the State of New Hampshire; William N. Cohen, Class of 1879, Justice of the New York State Supreme Court; and Clarence B. Little, Class of 1881, Dartmouth Trustee and banker in Bismarck, N. D. All were major benefactors of the College.
The Great Issues Course began its twelfth year with a lecture by author Max Lerner on September 22. Other guest speakers during the fall term include Roy Wilkins of the NAACP; Gerald W. Johnson of The Baltimore Sun; M. F. Ashley Montague, anthropologist; Profs. Oscar Handlin, historian, and Seymour Harris and John K. Galbraith, economists, of Harvard University; Ralph Whelan, executive director of the New York City Youth Board; Prof. Charles A. Siepmann of New York University; and Prof. C. Wright Mills, sociologist, of Columbia University.
WDCR, Dartmouth's student-operated radio station, has received a grant of $1.000 from the Kaltenborn Foundation to further its public-service programming. WDCR, the only commercial station in the country operated entirely by college students, began AM broadcasting last March and reaches the whole Hanover area.
