THE first test of the League of Nations in facing international aggression is described in a new book published last month by the Princeton University Press. It is The Corfu Incident of 1923:Mussolini and the League of Nations by James Barros, Assistant Professor of Government. Although the League was able to negotiate a peaceful settlement of Italy's claims on the Greek island, Mussolini's success there led to later aggression in Ethiopia and elsewhere. Professor Barros reconstructed the story of this aggression through research in government files in Greece, Italy, and England.

PROF. WILLIAM T. DOYLE of Physics has been selected by the American Institute of Physics and the American Association of Physics Teachers to be one of their visiting scientists. As such, he will visit campuses throughout the country to lecture and meet with students and faculty members to discuss his. research and teaching interests and the development of curriculums. The" National Science Foundation supports the visiting scientists program. Previously, Prof. Francis Sears and Prof. Forrest I. Boley served in this capacity.

PROF. CLYDE E. DANKERT of the Economics Department is chief editor of a new book, Hours of Work, published by the Industrial Relations Research Association. The volume includes eleven articles by experts in labor economics who discuss the history, causes, and significance of the decline in the number of hours of work.

The authors analyze the effects of both collective bargaining and legislation on reducing the work week from 80 hours in 1800 to less than 40 today and the resulting effects on productivity and total output. Overtime and "moonlighting" are also discussed.

The other two editors are Prof. Floyd C. Mann of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan and Prof. Herbert R. Northrup of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.

Professor Dankert was asked to be the volume's editor because of several articles he had written on the subject. He also had appeared on television to discuss the subject and had testified before a select subcommittee on labor of the House Committee on Education and Labor.

PROF. CHARLES B. MCLANE '41 of the Government Department has been reappointed chairman of the New Hampshire Coordinating Board on Higher Education and Accreditation by Governor John King. Professor McLane took a leave of absence from this post and his teaching duties at the College during the 1964-65 academic year to teach at University College in Sierra Leone. He was Littauer Professor of International Relations there during his leave.

J BLAIR WATSON, Director of Audio. Visual Services, was chairman of the final judging committee of the National Teen-Age Movie Contest. The contest sponsored by the Eastman-Kodak Co. drew entries of movies produced by teenagers from throughout the country. The finalists were chosen at preliminary judging carried out at twenty American colleges and universities.

DEAN KARL A. HILL '38 of Tuck School was one of four educators on the Department of Defense Advisory Committee on Logistics Management Training who visited the U.S. Army Logistic Management Center at Fort Lee, Va., recently. The committee is named by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Installations and Logistics to provide professional advice to the Defense Department.

Dean Hill also was a panelist at a Denison University student convocation on the topic "Is Today's Liberal Arts Education Adequate Preparation for Tomorrow's Leaders?"

AT its October meeting the faculty noted President Dickey's 20th anniversary "on the job." Prof. Wing-tsit Chan offered the following resolution and it was adopted by acclamation:

"Be it resolved that: On the occasion of the conclusion of his 20th year as President of Dartmouth College, in recognition of his outstanding service to the College in developing and strengthening its education program, in encouraging new and experimental projects, and in broadening its liberal arts approach and its international outlook, we—the members of the faculty—wish to extend to President John Sloan Dickey our warm and best wishes."

A RNOLD WISHNIA, Associate Professor of Biochemistry at the Medical School, has been awarded an $80,000 grant by the National Science Foundation to conduct a two-year study of proteins. The project is a continuation of previous work he has done under another NSF grant.

Since proteins are constituents of all living cells and participate directly in all known bodily functions, their study is essential to understanding life itself. With the assistance of Thomas Pinder, Research Assistant in Biochemistry, Pro- fessor Wishnia hopes to advance the knowledge of precisely how amino-acid sequences determine the stable folded structures of proteins. It is their hope that eventually, by controlling the original amino-acid sequence, the protein itself may be controlled.

HENRY W. EHRMANN, Joel Parker Professor of Law and Political Science, was one of many faculty members who spoke at North Country observances of United Nations Day, October 24. He told a gathering in Montpelier sponsored by the League of Women Voters, the Rotary Club, the United Church Women, and the Unitarian Church that the UN had helped limit conflicts and stabilize relationships.

TEACHERS not only educate the student, they socialize him, Dean Richard P. Unsworth told the fourth annual National Education Conference at Williston Academy, Easthampton, Mass. Dean Unsworth, keynote speaker at the conference, said educators must understand what the student seeks. Only then can they help get across important goals and values.

RECENT grants to faculty members included one from the National Science Foundation to Prof. John W. Lamperti of the Mathematics Department for a study of "stochastic processes and their applications." The two-year grant is for $17,100. ... The NSF also made a travel grant to Robert W. Decker, Associate Professor of Geology, to enable him to attend the International Symposium on Volcanology in New Zealand. ...
