Hanover Holiday Features A New Type of Seminar
HANOVER Holiday this year promises its usual series of stimulating lectures and panel discussions plus the innovation of a new type of seminar that should prove interesting and rewarding for all who take part in it. The Monday through Wednesday program will feature five members of the Dartmouth faculty who will speak on subjects in their fields: Prof. Gordon Skilling of the Government Department, Prof. John Gazley of the History Department, Prof. Chauncey N. Allen '24 of the Psychology Department, the College's arctic consultant, Vilhjalmur Stefansson, and Prof. Severn Duvall of the English Department.
On Tuesday the new seminar programs will take place and attendance will be limited to those who have signed up for them in advance. Each program begins with a lecture on a book that has been read previously by all those participating, and this is followed by discussion groups led by members of the faculty. Two choices are planned: one seminar, given by the combined resources of Tuck School and the Economics Department, will study Arthur Burns' Prosperity WithoutInflation; and the other, given by the English Department, will make a study of Archibald MacLeish's current play J.B. and the Biblical Book of Job.
The second part of Hanover Holiday will center around the 25-Year Class and will take maximum advantage of the talents and professions of this group. Prof. Lewis Stillwell of the History Department will open Thursday evening with a talk on "What's Happened to the College in the Past 25 Years."
Friday there will be two panel discussions, "Education for World Crisis" and "Telling the American Message." They will feature such eminent members of the Class of '34 as Congressman Perkins Bass; Seymour Dunn, Dean of Gettysburg College; William C. Embry, former head of the Louisville, Ivy., School Board; Jerry A. Danzig, Vice President of NBC; and John B. Torinus, Green Bay, Wis., editor. On Saturday morning the two seminars by the English and Economics Departments will be repeated to wind up another Hanover Holiday.
