1931

Much appreciate receiving from Karl Weber '34 news of Maury Whittinghill's death on July 29, 1998, and of the memorial service scheduled in Chapel Hill, N.C., on September 5.

Preparations for the mini-reunion at Penn on the September 18-19 weekend are pro-gressing. I plan to attend and shall report. The questions raised in my Class Notes in the September issue of DAM have not been answered to date. Since they deserve being answered, I repeat that section as follows:

"Our new president's dictum—Dartmouth is a research university in all but name, and we are not going to be deflected from our purposes—provokes questions: 1) What are those purposes? 2) How are we going to take research contracts in various fields away from such powerhouses as the other Ivies, MIT, etc., etc., each with existing internationally known research teams? 3) What is the estimated cost of building a sales organization to secure such contracts and of maintaining it? 4) What will be the effect of having to tell undergraduates and applicants for admission that, unlike the past, considerable teaching will be done by graduate stu-dents.?"
