Summer Studies
June 1958

DARTMOUTH this summer will offer a program of liberal arts studies to two groups of management executives. Not a new undertaking, but an extension of a conference plan first tried in the summer of 1956, the 1958 program will take on the new name of The Dartmouth Conference in Liberal Arts and will be conducted in two separate sessions, both under the general direction of Prof. Arthur E. Jensen, dean of the faculty.

Executives of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company first came to Dartmouth in 1956, and the Conference's eight-week session, beginning July 1, will again be given primarily for this company. Another session of four weeks, beginning June 30, will have approximately fifty men from the National Association of Mutual Savings Banks, for which a longer, eight-week conference was first held last summer. Dean Jensen has announced that in following summers Dartmouth hopes to enlarge The Dartmouth Conference in Liberal Arts.

Each division will have three formal courses, taught by Dartmouth professors. The A.T.&T. group will study The Individual and the State, The Individual and Society in Literature, and Religion, Science and Man. The shorter conference will study Religion and Science, Social Forces in the Modern Economy, and The United States and World Affairs.

Also scheduled for this summer in Hanover is the ninth annual session of the Graduate School of Credit and Financial Management, to be held at Tuck School.

Ten scholars specializing in national security policy will spend the summer at Dartmouth doing research and exchanging ideas in their field. Sponsored by the Social Science Research Council, the seminar will make use of the facilities of Baker Library. Laurence I. Radway, Associate Professor of Government at Dartmouth, will be one of the ten scholars participating.
