In a reorganization designed to strengthen the academic administration of the College, Leonard M. Rieser '44, Provost since 1967 and Professor of Physics, was appointed a Vice President of the College and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, effective August 1.
In his announcement, President Kemeny said the appointment was made after he had received recommendations from many members of the faculty and the important Committee on Organization and Policy urging that the office of the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences "be retained and strengthened by a strong full-time dean who would both speak to the Faculty and speak on its behalf."
The action of the Trustees in simultaneously appointing Dean Rieser a vice president was described by President Kemeny as reflecting "the continuing central role of the arts and sciences in the life of Dartmouth College." Under the new organization, the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences reports directly to the President.
At the same time, President Kemeny announced that Prof. Louis Morton, chairman of the Department of History and one of the nation's foremost military historians, had agreed to act as Provost for the coming academic year. As Provost, Professor Morton will share the responsibilities of the President, speak for him when appropriate, and act for him in his absence. "In addition," President Kemeny said, "he will study the nature of the job of Provost and recommend how this office should be organized in the future to permit the president to fulfill his responsibilities most effectively and provide him maximum flexibility in long-range planning for the College."
Dean Rieser, a member of the faculty since 1952, has had key roles in academic administration since 1959 when, while serving as chairman of the Physics Department, he was named Deputy Provost with special responsibility for the Science Division of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. He was appointed director of graduate studies in 1962 and became Dean of the Faculty for Arts and Science in 1964. From 1967 through the final years of President Dickey's administration, Professor Rieser served as both Dean of the Faculty and Provost.
Provost Morton, a member of the faculty since 1960, is the Daniel Webster Professor of History at Dartmouth and has been engaged under a grant from the Carnegie Corporation in a comparative study of coalition warfare. He was deputy chief historian, Department of the Army, during World War 11, after having served with the Army in the Pacific Theater. In that position, he wrote two volumes on TheWar in the Pacific and supervised the preparation of ten other volumes for the Army series on World War II. The author of several other books, he is general editor of a 17-volume series on War and Military Institutions of theUnited States in preparation by Macmillan.
Recipient of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Apollo Achievement Award last year. Provost Morton recently was named chairman of the NASA Historical Advisory Committee. He also is a member of similar committees of both the Secretary of the Army and the Air Force. He has served three times in recent years as a Pultizer Prize juror—in history and in biography.
Among the faculty who got off to an early start on this academic year by leading groups of freshmen on the Freshman Trip to the mountains and forest was John Sloan Dickey, President Emeritus but very active as Bicentennial Professor of Public Affairs and a Senior Fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Living his belief in the education of the whole man, he took a group of would-be Isaac Waltons from the Class of 1975 up to the Second College Grant to share with them his knowledge of the art of angling and his love for the wilderness which Dartmouth preserves there.
Although Dartmouth always had had a glittering array of able and experienced professors teaching its undergraduates, that tradition is highlighted again this year by the fact that both the President Emeritus and President are teaching courses. Mr. Dickey will conduct a seminar on History and Policy in the U. S.-Canadian Relationship during the spring term, while President Kemeny is teaching Math 16, a course on the role of the computer outside the sciences this term.
Moving ahead in the process of translating a concept to reality, President Kemeny has appointed English Professor Harold L. Bond '42, author and former faculty director of Alumni College, as Academic Director of Continuing Education. Professor Bond joins Gilbert R. Tanis '38, who earlier had been named Director of Continuing Education after more than ten years as Executive Officer of the College, in planning the Dartmouth Institute scheduled to begin in the summer of 1972.
On the recommendation of a facultyadministration study committee, the Dartmouth Institute is planning to offer a series of month-long programs of study in the arts and sciences for business leaders and professional people participating with their spouses under a sabbatical support arrangement.
The concept of adding continuing education in the liberal arts as another dimension to the Dartmouth experience was enunciated by President Kemeny when he was inaugurated and remains one of the priority commitments of his administration. It is his conviction that in today's complex society it is no longer enough to concentrate education in 16 to 20 early years of an individual and then through maturity focus solely on career. Rather, he says, business and professional leaders need to return periodically to institutions of higher learning to replenish their intellectural reserves and gain fresh perspectives on a changing world, and should be able to do so on a sabbatical basis.
As his first assignment. Professor Bond is working on the development of the curriculum for the Dartmouth Institute. An authority on Edward Gibbon, the English historian, he teaches courses in English renaissance, romantic poetry, and the King James Bible. A teacher in the Alumni College since its start in 1964, he was faculty director for three years, 1967-69. He also represented the faculty on the Dartmouth Alumni Council for four years, 1967-71.
To study issues of conscience in higher education, patterns of educational change and educational leaders and philosophers who have been successful in keeping spiritual concerns central to higher education, Charles F. Dey '52, Dean of the Tucker Founda- tion, is taking a sabbatical year in Washington, D. C.
"Unless one is well versed in contemporary issues of conscience on campus —be they draft, birth control, poverty or academic freedom—one can hardly be adequate, much less inspirational, for each new generation of undergraduates," Dean Dey said in explaining why he is pausing after 20 years of service in education and government to spend a year in concentrated research.
His project, made possible by the Danforth Foundation's award to him of an Underwood Fellowship, will include a followup study of recent Dartmouth graduates who were deeply involved in issues of conscience during their undergraduate years and whom Dean Dey described as "key figures in the Tucker Foundation's campus ministry. Their lives since graduation may have much to tell us about our work here at the College."
Dean Dey, who played varsity football and tennis as an undergraduate, said he will be seeking answers to such questions as: "How does one reconcile a student's passionate concern for moral issues with the essentially reflective nature of an academic community? How do we engage promising young people in social issues without burning them out or making them old before their time? Is it possible to sustain deep spiritual convictions, to preserve a moral edge, without leaving a trail of young people permanently paranoid about institutions and individuals who exercise authority?"
Electronic music-maker Jon H. Appleton, Associate Professor of Music, has been commissioned by Richard Bunger, pianist and specialist in contemporary American music, to compose a work for pianist in ensemble with college student musicians. Professor Appleton, who is also director of the College's electronic studio, said he plans a work which will include film and electronics in addition to a small instrumental group. The commissions were made possible by a Martha Baird Rockefeller grant to Mr. Bunger.
