Exchange Program Continued

Dartmouth's participation in the Twelve-College Exchange Program has been extended for another academic year through recent action by the Executive Committee of the Faculty. At the same time, the executive committee granted additional rights to the women exchange students studying at Dartmouth and opened the school's Foreign Study Program to them.

The major revision allows women to study in all departments prepared to accept them. In the first year of the experimental program women were restricted to 11 of the 22 areas of major concentration offered at Dartmouth.

There are about 70 exchange women students studying at Dartmouth this year, and Assistant Dean of the College Katharine Stevens expects only a slight increase in the number of women students next year. Because there is still a problem with housing, the increase is only possible under the provision making a limited number of women students eligible for the Foreign Study Program.

Next year Dartmouth sophomores will be permitted to participate in the exchange program. Previously Dartmouth, like the other colleges in the program, had restricted participation to upperclassmen.

Institutions participating in the exchange program with Dartmouth include Wellesley, Mt. Holyoke, Connecticut, Smith, Vassar, Wheaton, Amherst, Williams, Wesleyan, Bowdoin, and Trinity.
