WASHING ^u^et Sound MBUB LAST WEEK I was. for a little while. Just an awkward, skinny kid, climbing up the hill from the Connecticut River ihto Hanover. N. H. There were 124 others—the largest c l a n , up t o that time, to e n t e r Dartmouth College. We were f r om all over New England. We were green, but we didn't think so. Up to the last war the classes each had more member* t h a i ^ t h e e n t i r e college a t t h a t tim«». F o r t y years a f t e r I climbed that hill one of my boys climbed the same Kill. He and I can celebrate our class, reunions together, which Is good figuring in any man's language. With the meeUng last week of Dartmouth men, 1 met the f i f t h president I have known. When I went to college Dartmouth had morning chapel a t 8 a.m. I t was compulsory. The winter costume of those who lived nearby was simple, usually a pair of boots-and an overcoat. I remember how the acting president of t h a t time broke up one chapel service. The day before i t had been announced t h a t the college had been l e f t a legacy. I t was also known that the wife of the acting president had present-ed him with a baby boy. So the prayer was interrupted by the Joyous laughter of the un-godly students when the president gave thanks in l\is prayer for the " l i t t l e succor which had been sent." Dartmouth doesn't have com-pulsory chapel anymore—not be-cause the boys are not aa religious as we were, but there is no room big enough to hold them all. The new president of Dart-mouth, who wre here the other day. is President Dickey of t h e • class of 1929. He Is an answer t o the prayer, "give us a tall man. ' sun-crowned, who Uvea above the fog in public duty and in private thinking." He is six feet five inch-es In height and when he made his t a lk we knew the rest was true. He told of the problem which every college and university In t h i s country has t o face now. Dartmouth can t a k e care of 2.400 , men. Now they have about 3.000. Dartmouth had 14.000 applica-tions for t h e 3,000 places. There are so many of the GIs back who have married—and places have to be found for the men and their (families in what was a man's College before. The' college Intends t o g e t back to be-ing a man's gollege again but it will t a k e about six years he aaid. Numbers is Just one of, the prob- , lems. President Dickey went on t o say that t h e colleges of the coun-t r y have a vital place in the his-tory of the next f ew years. With t h e advances of science, civiliza-tion aa we know it may be de-stroyed. I t may be even l a t e r now. t h a n we think. The business of the colleges today, is to t r a i n men and women who can go into commun-ities all over America and be able t o help people to »ee the right of way—the way for t h e greatest good to- the greatest number as against the selfish ends of the few. To t r a in students along the present way Dartmouth is also giving courscs in Russian aa well a s other languages. Dartmouth is giving a required course for sen-iors in " t h e knowledge .of world a f f a i r s . " This course la t o be ad-dressed 'by leaders from all over the world. Dr. Dickey made a very stimu-lating talk. I t sent me back to an-other president, the second one 1 knew a t Dartmouth. Dr. Tucker. The lnaugral of Dr. Tucker took place our freahmen year. One of the t r u s t e e s told how he, with others, finally went t o Dr. Tucker's house t o get his answer t o their invita-tion t o be president of the college. They were met a t the door by Dr. Tucker's daughter. (She a f t e r - wards married one of my class-mates.) They asked h*r what her f a t h e r ' s decision was t o be. She whispered "He Is upstairs, praying for guidance, but the f u r n i t u r e Is all packed." , . After Dr. Dickey had apokvi I thought of another incident t h a t happened my freahman year. In our dormitory there Uved a senior. He was editor of the "Dartmouth." One day he came into my room. "Here. Freshman, read this," and he handed me a telegram. I t read. "Come a t once, sister '* and waa^signed "Mother." I said t h a t It was t o bad. ' T o o bad, hell!" he exclaimed "I have used all my cuts and I want t o get away over the week-end. I Just wrote it, does It look n a t u r a l ? I'm going to show this to the new president." And out he w e n t I n an hour he was back and I asked him how the telegram (PIwas t u r n t o Page Five) BEST WEEKLY IN THE NORTHWEST .n1b rl»t ratM B Ur itoMt7o, ifl cMuMMi fti BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1946.
