WITH 200 STUDENT DELEGATES participating and stating their views on the course American foreign policy should follow in the new decade, this year's Orvil E. Dryfoos Conference on Public Affairs took a new tack. Larger and more public than the previous five gatherings of experts from government, universities, and private organizations, this year's conference constituted the third of the Bicentennial academic events of 1969-70 and was sponsored by the Division of the Social Sciences.
The foreign policy experts who took part in the three plenary sessions, April 16-17, are shown in the photographs on these pages. After a series of group meetings, the students presented their own foreign policy document at the closing session.
The annual conference, inaugurated in 1964, is a memorial to the late Orvil E. Dryfoos '34, publisher of The New York Times and a Dartmouth Trustee from 1957 until his death in 1963.
