The Faculty
WILLIAM P. KIMBALL '28, Dean of the Thayer School of Engineering, has been elected to two national engineering-education groups. He will serve as one of eight men who comprise the Engineering Education Committee of the American Society of Civil Engineers. The committee seeks ways to establish closer relationships between engineering schools and professional civil engineers. The second group is the Education and Accreditation Committee of the Engineers' Council for Professional Development. This group develops standards for engineering schools in efforts to ensure that graduates receive a sound educational foundation. These criteria are supplied upon request to degree-granting institutions.
PROFESSOR Millet G. Morgan of the Thayer School visited International Geophysical Year stations in Antarctica during December and January to continue research that he is conducting in ionospheric physics. Working with Professor Huntington W. Curtis, also of the Thayer School, Professor Morgan is studying the phenomena of naturally occurring audiofrequency radio waves. These waves are picked up at thirteen stations which have been established from the Arctic to the Antarctic.
FOURTEEN paintings in various media and a number of drawings by Charles T. Morey, Instructor in Art, were placed on exhibition at the Roerich Gallery in New York on January 12. This is the third in a series of exhibits of New Hampshire artists held by the gallery in a new program to stimulate interest in the work of regional artists. Mr. Morey's work is exhibited in a two-man show with Bertrand H. Yeaton.
Mr. Morey, a graduate of Williams College, studied at the Art Students League in New York and the Cummington School of the Arts in Massachusetts with Theodore Brenson. He did graduate work in painting at the University of Georgia under Lamar Dodd and Ulfert Wilke, visiting professor there in 1955. He also worked with Joseph Albers at Black Mountain College, and at the John Herror Art Institute in Indianapolis. In 1955 he received from Williams College the two-year Hubbard Hutchinson Memorial Award for furthering artistic development. One of his paintings was included in two international exhibition tours, one in the Far East in 1956 sponsored by the U. S. Information Agency, and another in Latin America in 1957. His paintings have been exhibited at the Tyringham Gallery in Tyringham, Mass., and he had the first one-man show in the history of Williams College at the Lawrence Art Museum, which now owns one of his paintings. His work has also been exhibited by the Georgia Museum of Art, which acquired one of his paintings for its permanent collection. Mr. Morey joined the Dartmouth faculty last September.
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR John W. Dewdney of the Physics Department is the recipient of a two-year, $12,500 grant from the National Science Foundation for the purpose of working on a project entitled "Energy distribution of photoelectrons as a function of their angle of emission." Professor Dewdney will conduct his research in the Wilder Laboratory at Dartmouth.
PROFESSOR H. Wentworth Eldredge '31 of the Sociology Department traveled to Paris in January to deliver two lectures to the NATO Defense College. Professor Eldredge was lecturing for the fifth time before the Defense College, and was the only American present in an unofficial capacity. His two addresses were entitled "The World Revolution of the 20th Century" and "Policy Planning in a Revolutionary World." This is the twelfth course of the NATO Defense College, organized at the initiative of President Eisenhower when he was commander of Allied forces in Europe. The lectures, given in French or English with simultaneous translation, are designed to indoctrinate senior military officers of NATO and Foreign Office officials with the political, social, economic and military factors necessary for strategic planning by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Twenty lectures are given in each six-month course and the lecturers include statesmen, educators, and military authorities.
ON leave of absence for the second semester this year, Professor Robert M.Bear of the Psychology Department has been invited to talk to a psychology seminar at the University of Florence, Italy, on trends in psychology in the United States. Plans are being made for Professor Bear also to conduct a seminar for college and school officials in Paris on methods of reading improvement. He will also visit England for the purpose of studying the use of tests by the British Civil Service Selection Board in the school system. He plans to visit the National Institute of Vocational Guidance in London.
Also on leave and traveling in Europe will be Professor George L. Frost '21 of the Department of English, who plans to visit Italy, Spain, France and England. Professor Elmer Harp of the Sociology Department will spend the first part of his second-semester leave working on a book. In May he will travel to Copenhagen at the invitation of the Danish National Museum to participate in a small international congress on arctic archaeology. Professor Harp is one of five Americans invited to the congress of Danish, Canadian, and Russian scholars. The purpose of the gathering is to review the current status of arctic archaeological research and to develop with the Russians a combined program of reciprocal field research. Professor Harp has received a grant from the Arctic Institute of North America which will enable him to travel to the Arctic at the end of next summer to continue his long-term program of arctic research. Accompanied by Professor RobertMcKennan of the Sociology Department, he will conduct research in the Chesterfield Inlet and Baker Lake areas.
Other Dartmouth teachers on leave for the second semester are Professor John C.Adams of the History Department, Professor Robin Robinson '24 of the Mathematics Department, Professor Dimitri S.von Mohrenschildt of the Department of Russian Civilization, and Professor MartinL. Lindahl of the Economics Department.
