THE promotion of seventeen members of the faculty was announced at commencement time last spring. Laurence I. Radway was promoted from associate professor to full professor in the Government Department. Four others were advanced from assistant professorships to associate professor rank with tenure. They are Paul R. Shafer, Chemistry Department; Harold L. Bond '42, English; J. Laurie Snell, Mathematics, and Elias Rivers, Spanish. Two instructors advanced to assistant professorships with three-year appointments are Thomas E. Kurtz and Richard E. Williamson, both of the Mathematics Department. Ten other instructors were given two-year appointments as assistant professors. They are William L. Baldwin, Meredith O. Clement, John A. Menge and Thomas J. Finn Jr., all of the Economics Department; F. David Roberts, History Department; Harry Burdick and John W. McCrary, both of the Psychology Department; Dana L. Abell and George B. Saul II, both of the Zoology Department; and Herbert L. Paul Jr., Speech Department.

PROFESSOR Lawrence G. Hines of the Economics Department has been awarded a $500 prize in an essay competition sponsored by the Ford Foundation and the Committee on Economic Development. His paper, "Criteria for the Appraisal and Selection of Federal Economic Activity," is being published in the collection of the fifty winning essays entitled "Problems of the U. S. Economic Development." There were 1,238 entries in the competition. Professor Hines was also awarded a Ford Foundation Regional Research Fellowship for study at Yale University this past summer. He studied the time lag in the effects of federal expenditures on the national income. His was one of ten fellowships awarded in the New England area.

PROFESSOR Herluf V. Olsen '22 of the Tuck School received an honorary fellowship in the American College of Hospital Administrators at convocation ceremonies held in August in Chicago. The commendation was given in recognition of "his outstanding achievements and contributions in the health field." Professor Olsen, Dean of the Tuck School until 1951, headed an eighteen-month study on the administration of hospitals. His report, entitled "University Education for Administration in Hospitals," was published in 1954 by the American Council on Education.

EDWARD C. LATHEM '51, director of special collections at Baker Library, has been appointed Assistant Librarian. Mr. Lathem, who joined the library staff in 1952, holds degrees from Dartmouth and Columbia University. He also attended the Harvard-Radcliffe Institute in Historical and Archival Management and the Institute on the Preservation and Administration of Archives at American University in Washington, D. C. He has recently completed a required term in residence at Oxford University, England, where he is studying for his doctorate. Mr. Lathem is a member of the board of trustees of the New Hampshire Historical Society and the author of a number of historical articles. He is literary editor of the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE.

TOURING the summer Professor George ' Theriault, chairman of the Department of Sociology, participated in a seminar on "The Interpretation of Religion in Sociological Theory" which was held at the University of North Carolina. Sponsored by the Danforth Foundation, the seminar was for college teachers of sociology, anthropology and social psychology.

FOUR members of the Government Department participated in the recent meeting of the American Political Science Association at St. Louis. Professor Laurence I. Radway delivered a paper, "A Study of Military Affairs," which dealt with the growth of the study of military affairs as a separate but related discipline within the broad field of social studies. Professor John Masland was chairman of the panel at which the paper was delivered. Other Dartmouth participants were Professor Robert K. Carr '29 and Assistant Professor Herbert Garfinkel. Much of the research for Professor Radway's study was done this summer when ten scholars specializing in the field of national security policy gathered on the Dartmouth campus for eight weeks to discuss their research and exchange ideas.

Professor Masland and Eugene M. Lyons, research associate in Government, are the recipients of a $72,000 grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York for the purpose of continuing their studies of education and national-security policy making. The appropriation is the third made to Professor Masland and his associates by the Carnegie Corporation for studies in the national-security policy area. Under the grant's terms Professor Masland and Mr. Lyons will study the education and preparation of civilians for national-security policy formulation.

A grant of $5,000 from the National Science Foundation has made possible a series of science seminars for chemistry and biology teachers from New Hampshire and Vermont secondary schools this fall. Professor Raymond W. Barratt of the Botany Department is director of the program. Twenty-five teachers will be chosen from among applicants who are actually teaching biology or chemistry. The seminar plan developed at a conference of 75 secondary-school teachers and Dartmouth faculty members held on the campus last fall. The group considered what Dartmouth could do to help improve science teaching in secondary schools in the surrounding area.

PROFESSOR Fred Berthold Jr. '45, Dean of the William Jewett Tucker Foundation, announced recently that Professor Paul L. Holmer of the University of Minnesota has joined the Department of Philosophy for the fall term. He is the first visiting professor to be appointed by the Foundation. The 42-year-old philosopher is widely regarded as one of the outstanding Kierkegaardian scholars of our generation. A member of the American Philosophical Association, Professor Holmer took his doctorate at Yale in 1946. In 1953 he went to Denmark on a Fulbright scholarship to study the philosophy of Kierkegaard at the University of Copenhagen. Professor Holmer is a member of the National Council on Religion in Higher Education and the author of Learning and Faith. He edited Kierkegaard's Religious Discourses and contributed chapters to Christian Ethics, edited by Niebuhr and Beach, and Tragedy andChristian Life, edited by Scott.
