THE COLLEGE

IN his remarks to the Dartmouth class officers at their annual May dinner, President Dickey characterized the college year 1957-58, nearing its close, as "a vintage year" in Dartmouth's history. Some of the things he had in mind when he said this were the complete overhauling of the curriculum in preparation for the three-term, three-course program beginning next fall; the largest amount of money Dartmouth has ever raised in a single year, thanks to the successful launching of the capital gifts campaign; the winning ways of Big Green athletic teams throughout the year; September's Anglo-Canadian-American Convocation and February's Hopkins Dinner as two of the most successful events ever staged by the College; the progress of alumni studies and all other surveys under the Trustees Planning Committee; and even the record total snowfall of 117.7 inches this past winter, the greatest amount in the 92 years that Shattuck Observatory has been keeping snow records.

The smiles of Fortune help produce a vintage year, but more effective are the labors of workers in the vineyard. Dartmouth has thousands of such workers, an unmatched asset in the college world and a guarantee of more vintage years to come.
