Trustee Anniversary

Two hundred years ago, on October 22, 1770, the Dartmouth College Board of Trustees held its very first meeting in the Wyman Tavern in Keene, N. H. On the 22nd of this month the Trustees will meet there again, to mark the bicentennial anniversary of that first session presided over by Eleazar Wheelock. A short meeting at 5 p.m. will be followed by a reception and dinner at the Keene Country Club.

The following day, in Hanover, the Trustees will take up the more normal business of the annual fall meeting of the Board. Although no definitive action is expected on the subject of coeducation at Dartmouth, the Trustees will devote a good deal of their time to the mass of data and reports on coeducation that has been building up over the past year or more. The results of the three opinion surveys among the alumni, undergraduates, and faculty and administration were distributed to all alumni last month as a special supplement to the Alumni Magazine. Also in the hands of the Trustees will be the preliminary report of the Trustees Study Committee, which has recommended that the College adopt some form of coeducation, and addi- tional information regarding the feasi- bility of various alternative plans, requested by the Board for its October meeting.
