On the College's 200th birthday, December 13, 1969, Dartmouth Publications will bring out this long-awaited anthology of good reading about Dartmouth and Dartmouth men, culled from the printed record of the past two centuries and written in large part by Dartmouth men. From the Narratives of Eleazar Wheelock to an essay as contemporary as John Martin Mecklin's "Vietnam," A Dartmouth Reader provides more than 300 pages of College history, both light and serious, in a form that is entertaining and informative. "A reader is for reading," the editor writes in his foreword, and in this aim Mr. Brown, editor of The New York Times Book Review, has fully succeeded.
The selections in the book are arranged under nine headings: In the Beginning . .On the Campus . . Visitors . . Extra-Curricular . . Tributes . .
Round the Girdled Earth . . The Voice of a Native . . Some Fiction . . and Commencement 1955, under which is printed Robert Frost's graduation address on that occasion.
This is the ideal gift for any Dartmouth man or friend of the College. The price is $8.50 postpaid. Orders, with checks made out to Dartmouth College, should be sent to DARTMOUTH PUBLICATIONS, Hopkins Center, Hanover, N. H. 03755.
