The College

DARTMOUTH, unlike other colleges, has never gone in for an annual observance called Charter Day. But this year is different. To mark its 200 th birthday on December 13 the College will stage a large Charter Day Dinner, and even with Leverone Field House being used for the occasion, there is a space problem that the Bicentennial Committee can solve only by inviting a "representative" dinner audience.

The Dartmouth Board of Trustees and the Dartmouth Alumni Council have moved their joint winter meeting from its scheduled January date to the Charter Day weekend. The College's sixteen Trustees will comprise the head table at the dinner. The alumni will be represented by class presidents, club presidents, class agents, and Third Century Fund area chairmen. The faculty, the student body, the associated school governing boards, the town of Hanover, and friends of the College will also be represented, although student attendance will be smaller than the committee would wish, because the Christmas recess will have begun. The Glee Club will stay on for the dinner.

A special program is being arranged for the evening, and the leaders of the Third Century Fund are working extra hard in late November and early December in the hope of having a progress report fitting for the occasion.
