Further Mention

Christian Wolff, chairman of the Music Department, has won one of four $3,000 music awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the National Institute of Arts and Letters, in recognition of three recordings of works and of his professional distinction. One collection of his composition considered for the award was an album recorded by the Concord String Quartet, now in residence at the College.

Professor Wolff spent the fall term in Berlin, where he worked on a new string quartet under a grant from the German Academic Exchange Program and attended two concerts devoted to his work at the Metamusic Festival. Before the term started he was a guest instructor at the International Summer School of Music at Darmstadt.

At the recent seventh annual American College Theatre Association Regional Festival at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Rodney w. Alexander, Dartmouth Professor of Drama and Director of Theater at the Hopkins Center, received an award for his outstanding contributions to the festival and to the professional theater in America. The three-day event featured performances by New England college drama troupes and workshops touching on many phases of contemporary theater.
