Six Dartmouth students have been chosen to participate this summer in a new Russian Foreign Study Program. The students will spend six weeks at a summer course in Munich under the auspices of the University of Oklahoma, will travel for six weeks in Poland or Russia under the auspices of The Experiment in International Living, and will then spend two months in the fall in Munich doing supervised research and study at one of the leading contemporary Russian libraries in Western Europe. The initial summer course, given in Russian, will include courses in Russian history, literature, and politics. During the final two-month period in Munich the students will live with Russian families. They will return to the United States about November 15.

Robert K. Hage '35, Dartmouth's director of financial aid, returned to Hanover last month after traveling in Africa to interview students seeking admission to American colleges. He and two other American university representatives undertook this assignment in Kenya, Uganda, and. Ethiopia for the African Scholarship Program for American Universities, in which Dartmouth has been a participant since its inception a few years ago. The African students who have come to Dartmouth under this program have done extremely well, and one of them, John M. Amoda from Warri, Nigeria, received three faculty citations for his academic work in the fall term.

A painting of Daniel Webster arguing the Dartmouth College Case before the U.S. Supreme Court, painted for the College at the request of the late Col. Henry N. Teague 'OO through a provision in his will, has recently been hung in the main dining room of Thayer Hall. Robert Burns, an artist residing in Princeton, N.J., was commissioned to do the oil painting.

The Dartmouth Bookstore, which has occupied its familiar spot on Hanover's Main Street since 1900, will soon move several doors south to the corner of Main and Allen Streets. The new location is now occupied by the Co-op food store, which will move next month to its newly constructed quarters near the apex of Lebanon and Park Streets. Although it has gone both underground and upstairs at its present location next to the C & G House, the Bookstore is in need of more space for its expanding business and book displays, and will have it in its new home.
