During the three days of dinner and business sessions constituting the 100th meeting of the Alumni Council since its founding in 1913, a good deal of attention was given to the developing educational program of the College. In addition to President Dickey, who gave a "state of the union" report to the Council, speakers included Prof. John W. Masland, Provost of the College, in charge of academic affairs; Prof. John L. Stewart of the English Department, director of the general reading program for freshmen and sophomores; and Prof. Basil Milovsoroff, member of the Russian Civilization staff.

Orton H. Hicks '21, Vice President of the College, spoke to the Council on the final results of the Capital Gifts Campaign and on plans for the current Medical School fund campaign.

Nichol M. Sandoe Jr. '45, assistant director of development, also spoke on plans for the Convocation on Great Issues of Conscience in Modern Medicine, to be held in Hanover from September 8 to 10.

A highlight of the opening dinner meeting on June 15 was the presentation of two of the Council's annual Alumni Awards to Wilbur W. Bullen '22 of Boston and Sumner B. Emerson '17 of New York City. Harold P. Hinman '10 of Canaan Street, N. H., who had received a similar award a few days earlier while attending his 50th reunion, was present and his citation was repeated.
