Chairs

Five members of the faculty recently were appointed to endowed professorships. John T. Lanzetta was named to the Lincoln Filene Chair of Human Relations, established in 1961. Lanzetta, on the Dartmouth faculty since 1965, specializes in social psychology, group behavior, and decision-making. Vincent E. Starzinger, an authority on constitutional and political theory, was named Joel Parker Professor of Law and Government. Starzinger joined the faculty in 1960 and reportedly logs over 1,000 miles on the Connecticut River every year in his single scull.

John B. Lyons was appointed Frederick Hall Professor of Mineralogy and Geology. A member of the faculty since 1946, Lyons focuses his research on systematic chemical changes in metamorphic rocks and has studied glaciers in Greenland, the Ellesmere Ice Shelf, and the Canadian Northwest Territories. He has been active in teaching the infamous "three-way stretch" — a three-course requirement for "rocks" majors involving extended field trips for purposes of observation and research.

Errol G. Hill — actor, director, playwright, teacher, administrator, and Dartmouth faculty member since 1968 — was named Willard Professor of Drama and Oratory. A native of Trinidad, Hill has developed a term-long Dartmouth off-campus program for the Study of Caribbean theater at the University of the West Indies.

A Tuck School professor, Kenneth R. Davis, was appointed Nathaniel Leverone Professor of Management. Davis is a specialist in marketing management and organization and is director of executive programs at Tuck. The four-week program which he designed for "high-potential executives" was cited by BusinessWeek as "one of the blue ribbon non-degree management programs in the United States."
