What's Just Ahead
Enrollment for the Summer Term is expected to be up slightly over last year and will approximate 500 men and women in the regular College courses. To this primary nucleus of the summer's academic effort will be added 145 undergraduate and graduate researchers working on science projects, financed largely by summer grants and fellowships.
Project ABC, in its fifth year of steadily mounting success, will have its largest enrollment thus far with 120 disadvantaged boys being tutored intensively for seven weeks, prior to their moving on to private schools and selected high schools for two years of pre-college education.
The Peace Corps will also return to the campus this summer, but on a smaller scale. One hundred volunteers will undergo six weeks of special training t0 be teachers of English in Frenchspeaking West Africa. Other familiar groups in Hanover will be the six-week History Institute for secondary-school teachers (36) and the two-week Graduate School of Credit and Financial Management at Tuck School (325). A oneweek refresher course for 60 alumni of the School will also be held in early September. A program held at Dartmouth for ten summers and being continued is the eight-week program in the liberal arts for AT&T executives (15).
One of the largest summer gatherings here will be the Photobiology Congress, August 25-31, to be attended by 1000 persons from all over the world. Another international symposium, attracting 200, will deal with Antarctica Glaciological Exploration at meetings September 3 to 7. Two July conferences will bring 150 pathologists and 50 pharmaceutical company executives to Hanover for oneweek programs, and in early September a symposium on Comparative Physiology of the Heart will assemble 100 doctors and cardiac researchers for two days.
Three engineering conferences will deal with information theory, reverse osmosis, and two-phase flow. Some 250 are expected for a second Bearings Conference, September 1-7, dealing with re' search and innovations in that industry. And to round out an unusually varied summer schedule, 40 secondary-school math teachers will study their tie-in with the computers at the Kiewit Center, and 35 elementary-school science teachers will have an intensive four-week program acquainting them with new science materials that can be used in their teaching.
Does anyone still think that Hanover in the summer is a lazy New England village? For more summer activity read on.
