  • On Tuesday, January 16, 2018, New England College Celebrated Founders Day
    On Tuesday, January 16, 2018, New England College celebrated Founders Day. James Wright, PhD, President Emeritus, Dartmouth College, served as the keynote speaker and received an honorary degree. The following are Dr. Wright’s remarks. ---------- Thank you, President Perkins. I appreciate your warm welcome. Greetings to members of the board, faculty, staff, and students. And a special salute to community members. This school started because this community wanted it and worked to make it succeed. I hope the citizens of Henniker and of this region take real pride in what you have accomplished. I am honored to be here today and to join in this January celebration. My daughter Ann was enrolled here thirty-five years ago, studying on this campus as well as at Arundel, and this was a good school for her. New England College is an important part of our vital higher education community. As someone who was a first-generation college graduate, one who enrolled after military service, I have a special affection for this school and its heritage, and its commitment to providing educational opportunities for everyone. As a historian, I am pleased to participate in recognition of an institution’s founding. And not simply as a celebration, but as an occasion to remember the work and the goals of the founders, an opportunity to assess how a place has evolved in the passing years. I am not an originalist. I do believe that organizations and institutions and individuals must adapt to a changing world. But they must do it in a way that affirms what they stand for: Their founding purpose.

Each participating institution in the network (see www.cic.edu) agrees to import a limited number of students on the same admission basis as they accept all other students, without regard to the number of students it exports. The NHCUC Tuition Exchange Program The NHCUC Cooperative Tuition Remission Program is a network of seven private colleges and universities in New Hampshire willing to accept, tuition-free, students from families of full-time faculty and staff of other NHCUC participating institutions (http://www.nhcuc.org) The NHCUC coordinates this program and historically there have been no limits on the number of scholarships available.
