SUMMER TEMPO IS GO-GO-GO

Dartmouth's third Third Term is rated as the biggest, busiest and best yet

DARTMOUTH'S Summer Term, completing the three-year trial run that the Trustees authorized for 1963-65, became a more solidly accepted part of the college year on the strength of this past summer's successful experience. Although enrollment in the regular academic Summer Term is still well below the figure originally projected, it has moved ahead from 291 to 377 to 440 this year. And the Trustees had already decided that the fourth term is an essential core for a rapidly developing over-all summer program that brought 16 different projects to Hanover this year, involving 1800 persons. The growth here has gone from eight programs and 882 persons in 1963 to nine programs and 1300 persons in 1964 to the 16 programs and 1800 persons of 1965.

New programs this summer were for engineers, physicists, teachers of disadvantaged students, history and biology teachers, and choral teachers. Repeat programs were Project ABC (up from 55 to 82 boys); the Peace Corps, with a training group for Liberia added to the one for French West Africa; the Russian Language Institute; a workshop for piano teachers; the Graduate School of Credit and Financial Management at Tuck; management courses for Bell Telephone executives and officers of mutual savings banks; and the second annual Alumni College which wound up the schedule in late August.

Warner Bentley's 1965 version of the Dartmouth Congregation of the Arts was a resounding success (see pp. 32-33 for quotes from some of the very favorable press notices). The Repertory Theater, directed by James Clancy, gave thirty Hopkins Center performances of Richard II, Moliere's Tartuffe, and Shaw's The Doctor's Dilemma. Music in the Center, directed by Mario di Bonaventura, provided weekly symphony and chamber music concerts and drew special distinction from the presence of Zoltan Kodaly, Ernst Krenek, and Ross Lee Finney as composers in residence, of Pierre Bernac as master teacher, and of such artists as Stuart Canin, Paul Olefsky, Carolyn Stanford, and Gwendolyn Walters. Full houses were the rule and attendance at plays and concerts was up 23% over last year.

Art shows and lectures and a Samuel Goldyn film series added to the Hopkins Center offerings. All in all, it was a rich cultural feast, more than any one person could keep up with. The growing crowds, drawn from many distant places, and the laudatory reviews by top critics indicated that Hopkins Center is acquiring major stature in the cultural life of the nation.

The Feminine Touch . . .

THE 181 GIRLS enrolled in the regular Summer Term, and a good many more in Hanover for Peace Corps training and the Hopkins Center programs in the arts, provided a more charming and graceful air than the College puts forth during the other three terms. These photographs by Heinz Kluetmeier '65 (married) indicate something of what we mean.

A B C

A BETTER CHANCE in its second year worked with 50 percent more disadvantaged boys than in its initial year. Out of the 82 boys who began the program, 80 completed the eight weeks of studies; and 75 were recommended for admission to preparatory schools.

The program ran smoothly, building on the good experience of last summer, Director Charles F. Dey '52 reports, but the somewhat younger age of the boys required new approaches. Dey noted that the Dartmouth undergraduate resident tutors did an even better job. The undergraduates had taken a special preparatory course given by Prof. Donald Campbell. Sixteen teachers from eight southern high schools also worked with the boys under the guidance of the ABC faculty.

ALUMNI COLLEGE

ANY DOUBTS that Dartmouth's second Alumni College would match the excellence of the first session of 1964 were quickly dispelled by the "sophomores" who came back this summer and unanimously declared that they found the program just as exciting and stimulating as before. The 200 adults (with 80 children) enrolled in Alumni College followed the pattern of lectures, discussion groups, and extracurricular activities adopted last summer, and this year teen-agers had a course of their own. At the concluding dinner a Dartmouth Alumni College Association was formed, and Maj. Gen. Walter I. Miller '22 of Thetford Center, Vt., was elected the first secretary.
