THE COLLEGE

DARTMOUTH'S 193rd year opened on Monday morning, September 25, with time-honored Convocation exercises attended by the faculty and student body. President Dickey, who chose "The' Cold War and Liberal Learning" as the subject of his address (to be printed in full in our next issue), shared the speaking program with Jay E. Moyer '62 of Washington, D. C., president of the Undergraduate Council, who spoke on "The Necessity of Purpose."

Ahead stretched 172 days of classes, 31 Hanover Sundays, 13 days of final exams, and 39 days of vacation and holidays, leading up to graduation for the Class of 1962 and adding up, it is safe to predict, to one of the busiest and most productive years for the College as it moves closer to 1969.

Behind lay a summer period of unusual activity for Dartmouth and Hanover. Some of the top events from late June to early September, headed by Hanover's remarkably fine Bicentennial celebration, are pictured in the photo essay beginning on Page 24. Under College sponsorship there were more different programs involving more people than ever before. And along with all the cerebration and celebration, the College's massive construction program moved steadily ahead to the point where one could see what "the new look" was really like.
