1960

This edition of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE will reach you at about the same time as the Alumni Fund mailings. I know that many of '60's including your reporter are concerned about recent happenings in Hanover which do not indicate much stability in the administration. However, I plan to contribute to the Alumni Fund; because, I feel strongly that, if we want changes to be made at Dartmouth, we should let the administration know it but that we should not withdraw financial support. Reflect on the fact that private institutions without government control are rare today.

If Dartmouth does not continue to get financial support from its alumni, then its only course of action would be to look to the government. Government support brings government control and another independent voice is lost.

On another campus, Kenyon College, in Gambier, Ohio, Reed Browning received a $1000 grant from the American Philosophical Society to study at the British Museum and the Public Record Office in London. Reed is an assistant professor of history at Kenyon. He will spend two months this summer continuing his study of the Duke of Newcastle and British financing of the Seven Years' War.

Finally, Don Weitzman is making quite a name for himself as a competent attorney in Morristown, N. J. He has won a court fight to ban the gas station lottery-type give-away program in a neighboring town.
