HANOVER. y. H.. Oct 6.-The adj
ministration of Dartmouth college an
nounces that faculty advisory council
for freshmen has been appointed. The

DRY council will start Immediately with

OF a councillor, whose duty 1t is to offer
advice to freshmen on matters of curric-
ulum and any other topic that may de-
mand attention. Each councillor is
strictly responsible for the men in his
particular group.
The outstanding purpose of these
councillors is to re-establish friendly con-
tact with freshmen in unofficial capac-
ity. The councillors will not only check
up the men who are low in their work
but will also give encouragement to those
who are doing satisfactory and high
grade work.
-Four weeks after the opening of col
lege and again about three or four weeks
later, each councillor will interview every
instructor in his particular department
and Will find out from him what men are
near the ragged edge The results will
be turned in at the office of dean of fresh
men. where they viii be tabulated. The
councillors Will be given particulars CON
corning the men in their groups of as
men who are low in their studies. They
will then get in touch with the men re-
ported and will assist them in straight
ening out their difficulties.
After the first semister examinations
the freshman councillors consider all
cases of possible separation from the
college. The committee on administra-
ton will then act on the councils recon-
mendationS.
