In Brief...

Enrollment of women at the Dartmouth Medical School this year is relatively higher than the national average, and Dean Carleton B. Chapman foresees that the proportion of women students seeking the M.D. degree here will continue to increase for some time. The ten women in the Medical School's first-year class of 58 students constitute nearly 20% of the total, compared with 10% women in the second-year class, which is close to the national average for the 106 medical schools in the country- Dr. Charles S. Faulkner II, chairman of the Dartmouth Medical School's admissions committee, is not ready to predict an evenly balanced class of men and women in the foreseeable future, but he emphasizes that acceptances are based solely on each individual applicant's qualifications.

The proportion of women faculty members at the Medical School is highest for any division of the College. Their number includes two full professors, five associate professors, ten assistant professors, and four instructors. And two visiting professors this year are women.

The College has acquired ownership of the 200-acre Fullington dairy farm north of the village of Hanover. The property lies on both sides of the Lyme Road and has been in the Fullington family for over 100 years. "We feel it will be in the longrange interest of the College to control the development of that entrance to Hanover," Treasurer Paul F. Young '43 said in announcing the purchase. The Fullington farm abuts College properties, both along the Connecticut River and on the slopes east of Lyme Road.
