THE FACULTY
OCTOBER 1964 GEORGE O'CONNELL

SINCE the last Faculty column in June many new faces have appeared in Hanover, many a learned paper has been read, and new titles have appeared after familiar names. It has been a busy fourmonth period.

THE Trustees have named new occupants for four endowed faculty chairs. They are Henry Ehrmann, Professor of Government, appointed Joel Parker Professor of Law and Political Science; Eugene C. Falk, Professor of Romance Languages, Edward Tuck Professor of the French Language and Literature; Roy P. Forster, Professor of Biology, Ira Allen Eastman Professor; and Arthur M. Wilson, Professor of Biography and Government, Daniel Webster Professor.

Professor Ehrmann, chairman of the Government Department, joined the faculty in 1961. He will occupy a chair established in 1885 through a bequest by Mr. Parker, Class of 1811, a Trustee of the College from 1843 to 1860 and a justice and chief justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court.

Professor Falk came to the College in 1963 from the University of Minnesota where he was chairman of the Department of Romance Languages. His endowed professorship was established in 1912 as a memorial to Edward Tuck, Class of 1862, a major benefactor of the College.

Professor Forster, a zoologist, has been a member of the faculty since 1938, coming here from the University of Wisconsin. His chair was established in 1910 through a bequest by Mr. Eastman, Class of 1829, a Trustee from 1859 to 1881. Mr. Eastman had served as Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives and as a member of Congress.

Professor Wilson has been at Dartmouth since 1933 and previously taught at Harvard and Grinnell. His professorship was established in 1882 in memory of Daniel Webster, Class of 1801.

PROMOTIONS for 24 faculty members became effective in September. Four full professors were named; nine new associate professors were chosen, and another nine men were promoted to the rank of assistant professor.

The new full professors are Colin D. Campbell, Professor of Economics; William T. Doyle, Professor of Physics; E. Allen McCormick, Professor of German; and Martin Segal, Professor of Economics.

The new associate professors are David S. Dennison, Biological Sciences; Timothy J. Duggan, Philosophy; Robert G. Hunter, English; Carl F. Long, Engineering Sciences, also Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at the Thayer School of Engineering; Martin Meisel, English; Robert H. Russell, Romance Languages and Literature; George W. Schoenhut, Drama; Franklin Smallwood '5l, Government; and John W. Zarker, Classics.

In addition, two other promotions were made to associate professor rank. They were Mario di Bonaventura, whose titles now are Director of Music, Hopkins Center, and Associate Professor of Music; and Wilford F. Weeks, Adjunct Associate Professor of Geology.

Named to assistant professorships were Edward M. Bradley, Classics; Roger H. Davidson, Government; David H. Kelsey, Religion; Richard A. Lanham, English; Peter W. Lock, Romance Languages; Darrel L. Mansell, English; Andrew P. Nelson, Biology; William McC. Ruddick, Philosophy; and Roger H. Soderberg, Chemistry.

JOHN W. MASLAND, Provost of the College, has been named director of a study of manpower needs and educational capabilities in nine African countries. He spent the summer in Africa as head of an initial research team and will also be on leave during the winter term. The study is being made for Education and World Affairs, New York, at the request of the Agency for International Development.

The 12-man committee of scholars is reviewing the use each of nine African countries is making of its trained professionals and the pertinence of the education African students receive in the United States. The committee's findings are expected to contain suggestions about the desirable amount and direction of U.S. contributions to scholarships for Africans and to the African educational institutions that will increasingly take over the education of their nationals.

DEAN MYRON TRIBUS of Thayer School has been appointed to the Advisory Panel on Documentation, Dissemination and Use of Research and Development Results by the Select Committee on Government Research of the U.S. House of Representatives.

SUMMER is one of the traditional times for meetings of the learned and professional societies and summer 1964 had its share. Three members of the Anthropology Department probably traveled farthest. Professors Elmer Harp Jr. and Robert A. McKennan '25 and Associate Professor James Fernandez traveled to Moscow for the Seventh International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Science. Each read a paper - Professor Harp on "The Prehistoric Indian and Eskimo Cultures of Newfoundland and Labrador," Professor McKennan on "Athapaskan Groups of Central Alaska at the Time of White Contact," and Professor Fernandez on "Dance Exchange in Western Equatorial Africa (Gabon-Spanish Guinea-Southern Cameroons)." Professor Harp and McKennan also took an excursion trip to Uzbekistan in Central Asia. ... Gene E. Likens, Assistant Professor of Biology, presented a paper at the meeting of the American Institute of Biological Sciences in Boulder, Colo. It concerned "Hydrologic-Mineral Cycle Interaction in a Small Forest Ecosystem." ... Associate Professor Milton Rosenberg of the Psychology Department was one of six guest faculty members at a National Science Foundation-supported institute for 40 college psychology teachers at Beloit College. ... Edward S. Brown '34, Professor of Civil Engineering at Thayer School, participated in a seminar on "Needs in the Field of Sanitary Engineering over the Next Decade." The seminar in Cincinnati for professors of sanitary engineering was sponsored by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. ... Clark Horton, Consultant in Educational Research, participated in "Project English" at the University of Oregon this summer. He worked with Prof. Albert R. Kitzhaber and others in revising, editing, and organizing a juniorhigh school English curriculum. Professor Kitzhaber headed a two-year study of student writing at Dartmouth which was completed in 1962... Harry N. Scheiber, Assistant Professor of History, presented a paper on "State Policy and the Public Domain" before the annual meeting of the Mississippi Valley Historical Association in Cleveland. ... Jean Edward Smith of the Government Department spent much of the summer in Berlin as a guest of the Federal Republic of Germany studying the effects of the Wall on the political and economic situation in West Berlin.

AMONG the many research grants and L fellowships announced during the summer were two in the Economics Department. Prof. Meredith O. Clement was one of four who received Research Professorships from the Brookings Institution. The award will allow him to spend the year in Washington doing research on quantitative analysis of a postwar macroeconomic adjustment function. The other economist, lan A. Stewart, received a doctoral-dissertation fellowship from the Ford Foundation. It will enable him to complete work for his doctorate from Cornell. His study concerns a quarterly econometric model of the Canadian economy from 1951 to 1962.

William O. Berndt, Assistant Professor of Pharmacology, received a research grant making him an Established Investigator of the American Heart Association. His project is a study of the way in which uric acid is transported through the kidneys. Roy P. Forster, Ira Eastman Professor, also received a grant for studies of kidney function. His seven-year grant from the National Institutes of Health is titled, "Cellular Aspects of Active Transport."

ANEW record featuring Prof. James Sykes at the piano was issued recently under the Folkways label. TheShort Piano Pieces of Charles Ives was recorded in the Hopkins Center last year. Ives, a Yale alumnus who combined a successful career as an insurance executive with his work as a composer, has recently gained considerable acclaim for his musical ideas and has had a great influence on modern composers.
