ROGER D. MASTERS, Associate Professor of Government, this fall began a two-year tour of duty in the American Embassy in Paris as Cultural Attache. His two principal areas of responsibility will be coordinating French-American cultural exchanges and keeping the U.S. Ambassador abreast of French cultural trends.

He will also administer the Fulbright grant program. He brings much personal experience to this area, having taught and studied in France three times through academic grants. Professor Masters, the author of two recently published books on American foreign policy and the political philosophy of Rousseau, was graduated from Harvard summa cum laude in 1955. He earned a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1961 and thereafter taught at Yale. He joined the College faculty in 1968

RAMON GUTHRIE, Professor of French Emeritus, has received an award from the National Endowment for the Arts in recognition of his poem "Cantata for Saint Budoc's Day."... Mrs. Robert M. Macdonald, Ph.D., has been appointed Special Assistant to the Dean of the Tuck School and Research Associate in Economics.... Prof. Gene M. Lyons of the Government Department was a member of a blue ribbon panel which recommended to Congress the creation of a federal agency to monitor the perils of uncontrolled technology.

JOHN A. FARRER III, Instructor in Music and Assistant Conductor of the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra, studied this summer at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. He took master classes in conducting from Herbert von Karajan, Music Director of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and Bruno Maderna, Music Director of the Southwest German Radio, Darmstadt.

A RTHUR W. LUEHRMANN JR., Assistant Professor of Physics, this summer conducted a five-week seminar at the University of Antioguia, Medellin, Colombia, under a Fulbright grant. His "students" were 40 Colombian professors who learned about methods of teaching quantum mechanics at the undergraduate level. Physics instruction there has tended to lag due to traditional emphasis on a classic education.

Soon after his return Professor Luehrmann addressed a conference on regional computing services at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago. He presented a film made on campus describing the time-share graphical plotting system he developed and described the Kiewit Computation Center's experience, on and off campus, to delegates from 12 small midwestern colleges.

THE following National Science Foundation research grants have been received recently: $18,000 to Ernst Snapper, Professor of Mathematics, for research entitled, "Cycle Indexes and Characters"; $9,000 to Kenneth P. Bogart, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, "Lattice Theory"; $35,400 to Melvin Spiegel, Professor of Biology, "Biochemistry of Development"; $28,000 to Gordon W. Gribble, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, "Nitrogen Inversion in Azabicycloakanes"; and $45,000 to Richard T. Holmes, Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences, "Collaborative Research of Avian Population and Community Studies in a Northern Hardwoods Ecosystem."
