DR. Jackson W. Wright '33, Assistant Professor of Medicine and a senior member of the Hitchcock Clinic, has been named Medical Director of the Dartmouth College Health Service and a member of the Council on Student Health. He succeeds Dr. Robert J. Vanderlinde who has held these posts for the past two and a half years.

The Medical Director's responsibilities, which Dr. Wright will carry in addition to his Medical School teaching and his practice with the Clinic, include the direction of Dick Hall's House, the College infirmary. The three-man Council on Student Health, which he joins, is concerned with all aspects of student health.

Dr. Wright took his M.D. degree at Harvard after receiving the Dartmouth diploma in medicine in 1934. He returned to Hanover in 1946 as a member of the Hitchcock Clinic staff. He is a specialist in internal medicine.
