Francis E. "Red" Merrill, Professor of Sociology at Dartmouth, has been granted a Fulbright Award, for a series of lectures in trance (and In French, we might add) during the 1959-60 academic year. To quote from "The Dartmouth":
Dr. Arthur E. Jensen, dean of the faculty, explained that Professor Merrill will lecture in French on contemporary American sociology and on the American family at the University of Bordeaux and the University of Rennes.

AND A COLLEGE-YEAR ENDS.
Our last column of the "columnar" year. As we started to write "So long until fall," it occurred to us that we probably hadn't used that phrase since start-of-vacation Junes in Hanover. In those days, "Have a good summer. . . don't do anything I wouldn't do," sounded knowing and sophisticated indeed! Now, we're old enough to leave "sophistication" to our children. So . . . have a good summer. (And what you do, or don't do, is nobody's business but your own!)
