Circling the Green

• Pretty Shady: Young elms, grown from disease-resistant seedlings at the College nursery, are to be planted about the campus in special tribute to John Kemeny. An anonymous professor gave $1,100, $100 for each year of the 13th presidency, the money to be used however John and Jean Kemeny wished. They chose replacements for the dying wine-glass elms.

• Other Gifts: The Kresge Foundation has made a challenge grant of $600,000 toward the Rockefeller Center; the Joseph M. Huber Professorship in Medicine has been established in his memory through the generosity of his family; the Charles and Elfrieda Collis chair in history and the Eleanor and Kelvin Smith 1920 professorship in physics have been endowed through previously announced gifts; and Charles S. Marx '31 before his 50th reunion presented a collection of rare United States coins that is expected to be the centerpiece of the College's collection.

• New Faces, Old Faces: Sheldon Stanfill, formerly director of cultural programs at Colorado State University this month became director of Hopkins Center, succeeding Peter Smith. Working closely with him will be Richard Teitz, who comes from the Worcester (Massachusetts) Art Museum to direct the new Hood Museum, now in planning stages. Affirmative-action officer Margaret Bonz takes office as dean of freshmen late in the year, with the search for her successor still under way. Charles Kilner '49, an 1.8.M. executive, has succeeded Gilbert Tanis '38 as director of the Dartmouth Institute. In a first act of administrative streamlining, President McLaughlin has combined two vice presidencies, putting Paul Paganucci '53 in charge of administration as well as finance.

• Scholars: Montgomery Brower '81 is spending the next year in Asia as one of 15 American Luce Scholars; Deborah Cohen '83 was named the Harry S. Truman Scholar from North Carolina, a grant that will support her two final years at Dartmouth and two years of graduate study, while Joel Reidenberg '83 is a New York State alternate; five young alumni and one undergraduate Robert Evans '79, Beth Baron 'BO, Jill Fredston '80, Kirstin Lord 'BO, Victor Donnay 'Bl, and Alyson Pytte 'B2 won Reynolds Scholarships.

• Bedside Manner: "Make at least one house call a week," author-surgeon William Nolen urged graduates at the Medical School class day in June. "As doc tors we must remember to keep our humility. . . . Stay as nice in the future as you are today."
