BREVITIES

Proceeds from a lecture by Maynard Malcolm Miller, a member of the successful U. S. Mount Everest expedition in 1963, will be placed in a memorial fund honoring John E. Breitenbach '57, who was also on the expedition and was killed while clearing a route on the Khumbu Glacier. Mr. Miller is director of the Glaciological Institute at Michigan State University. The Breitenbach fund will be available as a revolving loan fund for Dartmouth student groups needing help in financing summer expeditions.

One of the newest and wettest organizations in Hanover is the Dartmouth Swimming Club. Memberships are open to Upper Valley residents and their families, and several evenings each week are set aside for family swimming in the beautiful new pool. A modest fee is charged to help the D.C.A.C. staff the pool with lifeguards and other personnel.

From William E. Huey Jr. '52, recently in Southeast Asia, came this interesting tidbit: "To my surprise over there, I stumbled onto a Viet Cong guerrilla prisoner we were interrogating who knew that Dartmouth was 'very good school only men attended - and was a school that accepted men of all races.' Dripping wet in a steaming jungle half way around 'the girdled earth,' the spell still remained."

The Dartmouth Freshman Glee Club, directed by Robert Goldberg '63, will give a joint concert with the Radcliffe freshmen on Saturday evening, March 7, at 8 at the Unitarian Church, Massachusetts Avenue and Church Street, Cambridge. The two clubs will sing Bach's Cantata No. 4. The Dartmouth club of fifty voices will offer a varied program, including a Frost poem set to music and a sacred piece by Vincent Persichetti, resident composer at Dartmouth last summer.
