Trustees Authorize Study of the Board

THE Dartmouth Trustees, who have authorized studies of nearly every phase of Dartmouth's life and work as part of the planning program leading up to the 1969 Bicentennial, will not exclude themselves. The Board, at its June meeting, named a special six-man committee to make a comprehensive study of the organization and responsibilities of the College's governing body.

Harvey P. Hood '18, senior member of the Board and also chairman of the Trustees Planning Committee, will head the group. In carrying out its assignment, the committee will consult with other institutions and will utilize the services of outside advisers as well as persons connected with the College and alumni affairs.

In addition to Mr. Hood, members of the committee are President Emeritus Ernest Martin Hopkins '01, Hanover; Charles Ingram '15, former vice president and general manager of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, Tacoma, Wash.; Robert S. Oelman '31, president of the National Cash Register Company, Dayton, Ohio, former president of the Dartmouth Alumni Council, and chairman of the Trustees Planning Committee sub-group which studied alumni organization; Dudley W. Orr '29, Concord, N.H., a Trustee of the College and president of the Peerless Insurance Company; and Cleo Craig, Ridgewood, N.J., retired president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, who is the father of Robert F. Craig '47.

Frank Smallwood '51, executive assistant to President Dickey and secretary of the Trustees Planning Committee, will serve as secretary of the study group.
