Hicks '21, Vice President of the College; Edward T. Chamberlain '36, Director of Admissions; and other College officers will participate in the working sessions of the conference. The program opens with a reception and dinner at The Skirvin on Thursday evening, continues with meetings Friday morning and afternoon, and ends Friday evening with a banquet at which President Dickey will be the principal speaker. Representatives from nearly all the alumni clubs in the West will be present, and the final banquet will be open to all alumni and their wives in that region. Edgar R. Oppenheim '39 of Oklahoma City is the local chairman.

Dartmouth's first General Electric College Bowl Scholarship has been awarded to R. Hopkins Holmberg '61 of Mankato, Minn., president of the Interdormitory Council, member of Palaeopitus, and student representative on the Tucker Council. The student members of Dartmouth's College Bowl team, which won three contests and $5,000 in scholarship funds on the CBS-TV quiz show last March, proposed the creation of a special scholarship; and to establish it the Dartmouth Trustees added $15,000 from the 1960 Alumni Fund. This action was a reversal, on a 3-to-1 basis, of General Electric's program of matching alumni gifts to the College.
