Nine Other Programs This Summer Range from Executive Decision-Making to Russian

ALTHOUGH the fourth term will be the biggest factor in making the campus a bustling place from July through August, there are nine other programs that will also be bringing students to the campus and contributing to the vitality of the College's summer life.

All these programs are at the graduate level and most are continuations of programs previously offered here in the summer. One addition to the roster of Colege-sponsored courses is a five-day program entitled "Guideposts for Executive Decision-Making," given under the auspices of the Thayer School and directed by George A. Taylor, Professor of Engineering and Management. "Guideposts" has actually been offered by Professor Taylor and an assisting staff for the past eight years, but it is now more officially associated with other summer courses at the College. It will be given from June 24 through June 28, with approximately thirty business executives enrolled.

Professor Taylor's course is designed to teach the modern business manager how to make executive decisions by tested criteria related to the maintenance and improvement of company standards, the creative development of new systems and policies, and the economic pros and cons involved in management decisions. The concentrated, five-day program will consist of lectures, workshops, seminars, conferences, and colloquia. Alumni interested may write to Professor Taylor at 108 Thayer School.

One other summer program at Thayer School will be the "Information Theory Conference" to be conducted by Dean Myron Tribus and others. It is an advanced course for engineers but will include some scientists from other disciplines. Enrollment will approximate thirty.

The American Telephone and Telegraph Company's "Management Objectives" course in liberal arts studies will again run for eight weeks and have an enrollment of fifteen. Dartmouth faculty members and a representative of the company will teach in the course.

Two programs at the College sponsored by the National Science Foundation will be the Physics Department's "Conference on Mechanics" and the Chemistry Department's "Seminar on the Statistical Theory of Macromolecules." The former will have an enrollment of 36 and the latter 28.

The National Association of Mutual Savings Banks will have two groups of 25 each on campus for two-week programs in the liberal arts. Some 200 will attend the 13 th annual session of the Graduate School of Credit and Financial Management, with classes at Tuck School. Tuck School will also offer a three-week workshop in research methods for directors of research bureaus. This program for 25 research directors is sponsored by the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, University of Illinois, with Ford Foundation support.

Also on campus for the fourth consecutive summer will be the Russian Language Institute, sponsored by the U. S. Office of Education under the National Defense Language Development Program. The Institute, one of three in the country in Russian, will run from July 1 to August 17 and will be directed by Prof. Basil Milovsoroff. Forty secondary school teachers of Russian will attend.
