THE FACULTY

THE promotion of sixteen faculty members was announced too late last spring for inclusion in our June issue. Seven Assistant Professors were named Associate Professor with tenure. They are F. Herbert Bormann, Botany Department; Colin D. Campbell, Economics; Robert W. Christy, Physics; Richard W. Sterling, Government; Thaddeus Seymour, English; Henry L. Terrie Jr., English; and Richard E. Wagner, Art. Donald H. Wendlandt, Director of the College Band, and Robert G. Chaffee, Curator of the College Museum, were named to the rank of Associate Professor for four years.

Five teachers were named Assistant Professor under two-year contracts. They were Charles F. Hofmann, Romance Lan- guages, L. Philip Howland, Physics; Paul R. Olson, Romance Languages; Richard L. Pfister, Economics; and Angar Pytte, Physics. Hannah T. Croasdale was named Research Associate in Zoology with the rank of Assistant Professor for two years, and Allan W. Carlsten was named Assistant Professor of Religion for one year.

RUSSELL R. LARMON '19, Professor of Administration, has been appointed to a three-year term on the National Advisory Health Council. Professor Larmon served as Assistant Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare in 1953-54 and was a member of the National Advisory Heart Council of the Public Health Service in 1954-57- The National Advisory Health Council is composed of fifteen representatives from the field of medicine, education and public affairs. It advises the Surgeon General on matters relating to health activities. It is also charged with carrying out the research, research training and fellowship programs of the Division of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health, including reviewing the applications for research grants in these fields.

PROFESSOR Charles J. Lyon of the Botany Department has received a $3,000 grant from the National Science Foundation for the support of basic research on "Radiocarbon Dating of Drowned Forests." The project is a continuation of work Professor Lyon started in 1931 but was forced to abandon until the more precise method of dating by radioactive carbon, or Carbon 14, was discovered. The drowned forests resulted from the melting of the polar icecap some 3,500 to 4,000 years ago. The trees were preserved in salt water. By radiocarbon dating of the wood samples, Professor Lyon can learn the relative height of the trees at high and low points on the beach, and through the difference in elevation, he can then determine the rate of rise of ocean water per century. It is not yet known how long it took the ocean to rise. By dating the forests which were submerged, Professor Lyon hopes to determine this fact.

ASSISTANT Professor R. H. Crowell of the A Mathematics Department has been awarded a $6,900 grant by the National Science Foundation for basic research entitled "Applications of Homological Algebra to Knot Theory." Professor Crowell says that the subject is part of algebraic topology and that he will be associated with Professor Hale F. Trotter of Queens University, Kingston, Ont., in the research. The grant is for two years.

FORD Foundation Fellowships in Business Administration and Economics have been awarded to a faculty member and a graduate of the Tuck School. The recipients are Martin C. Anderson, Assistant to the Dean and Instructor at the Thayer School, and John U. Farley, who received his Master's degree from the Tuck School last June. Mr. Anderson was given a $3,800 grant under the Ford Foundation's Program in Economic Development and Administration for predoctoral study in industrial economics at M.I.T Farley's fellowship is for predoctoral study in the application of mathematics and statistics to business problems. He will attend the University of Chicago.

PROFESSOR Herbert F. West '22 of the Department of Comparative Literature was honored last June at a luncheon meeting of the Scottish PEN Society in Edinburgh, Scotland. Professor West is a noted authority on R. B. Cunninghame Graham, Scottish writer and world traveler, who was also a Member of Parliament and headed the Scottish National Party at the time of his death. Professor West delivered an address entitled "Robert Bontine Conquistador."

PROFESSOR Ralph A. Burns, chairman of the Department of Education, has been appointed by the State Department to spend six months at National University in Asuncion, Paraguay, as an adviser on curriculum revisions. The appointment was made under the American specialists grant-in-aid program sponsored by the State Department. Granted a leave of absence for the fall term, Professor Burns left for Paraguay in June and plans to return for the winter term at Dartmouth. During his stay in Paraguay, he will confer with education authorities and help plan a program which introduces some of the elements of the American university into the National University, now modeled on the European education system.

DEAN William P. Kimball '28 of the Thayer School has been elected secretary of the Engineering College Administrative Council of the American Society for Engineering Education. The Council represents the administrative aspects of the profession of engineering education, as one of two councils affiliated with the American Society for Engineering Education.

AMONG the many new appointments to the Dartmouth faculty for this year is that of Professor Louis Schneider of Purdue University who comes to the College as Visiting Professor of Sociology. Professor Schneider took his B.A. at City College in 1935 and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees at Columbia. He has taught at Colgate as well as Purdue. His most recent major publication is Popular Religion, A Study of Inspirational ReligiousLiterature in the United States. He is also the author of The Freudian Psychology and Veblen's Social Theory (1948) and co-author of Power, Orderand the Economy (1958), as well as of numerous articles in scholarly journals.
