Ahmed Osman is settled in Cambridge and has begun his studies in economics in the graduate program at Harvard. He called the other evening and said he had been in touch with his successor, recipient of the Class of '56 scholarship, Mehmet EminArda. When many of us were in Hanover October 9, we first saw Mehmet in action on the soccer field when he helped set up a play that scored a goal for the Dartmouth freshmen giving them a one-nothing win over Andover in the second overtime period. Mehmet is from Istanbul, Turkey, and a graduate of Robert Academy. Give some thought to having Mehmet spend a part of Christmas or spring vacation at your home, and if you're interested, phone or write Doug Keare at 14 E. Stanworth Drive, Princeton, N. J.
