As the alumni advisor to Chi Gam (in our day, Kappa Sig), I can tell you they still make as many bonehead mistakes as we did, but they squeeze more out of their four years than most of us ever did. Because they’re more diverse, they have more to learn from one another, some- thing that will make them better, more compas- sionate citizens in the years ahead and help them to achieve greater success in the wide, wide world. And, make no mistake, their passion for Dartmouth is every bit as great as ours ever was. I’m grateful to Dartmouth for all it did to awaken my own desire to learn way back when, and for providing me the opportunity to give something back as an alumnus. I’m also grateful to the won- derful woman who’s put up with me—and my Dartmouth compulsion—for 45 years and count- ing, and to all of you—for your friendship and for giving me the opportunity to serve our great class. It’s been a pleasure. It’s been a privilege. Still is.

50TH REUNION BOOK 2010 39 1960 MUSINGS UNLIMITED we may be able to discern periods and patterns. In some ways, I am the same person now as I was as a pea-green freshman. At the same time, I am also very different. Between then and now, I perceive several periods that have defined and refined my life. Dartmouth taught me to think and connect one aspect of reality to another. Subsequent studies at Harvard Divinity School opened doors into the enjoyable but intricate world of theological studies. That period of time prepared me for a vocation of Lutheran ministry, which I followed for over four decades. Along the way I spent periods of varying length in Ithaca, N.Y., Philadelphia, Penn., and New Haven, Conn. During those sojourns of service, I met people who added bounty and beauty to my life. I wrote and delivered sermons of varying quality and perti- nence, and I engaged in pastoral care, which filled my cup to overflowing. There were also lots of art, music, and good conversation, which added depth and color to the journey. Unlike the person who did not notice Day One of the Renaissance, however, I did wake up one day to find myself no longer an easterner but a mid-west- erner. My last call at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minn., both broadened and deepened the conver- sation that began on the Hanover Plain. Even while teaching I found myself learning; even while being who I thought I was, I found myself becoming something I had not expected to be. Minnesota winters, for sure, played a role in that process! A few years ago, I entered another period of life. Retirement is for me another kind of call, the next The Old Pine period of life.

Scott decided while still in his teens that he and miserable Sunday morning the January before wanted to live on Block Island. His education and training as a field biologist, combined with his love of the Island, led to a career in land conservation, stewardship, and teaching. Doug’s many summers working in restaurants and bars here led, by a roundabout route, to a career in restaurant man- agement. Dartmouth was not the right choice for either son. Scott graduated from Earlham College and Doug from Den- nison, with an MBA from Georgia State. Today, our immediate family is split between the Island and Atlanta. Scott is Director of the Block Island Program for The Nature Conservancy and built a house a few hundred feet from ours. Doug lives outside of Atlanta with his wife Stephanie and daughters Aly (6) and Jessie (4). Doug is an Area Manager for Chili’s Restaurants. The Atlanta family spends several weeks here each summer enjoying the beach and the small organic farm that Scott and his fiancé main- tain on land adjacent to the houses.

There are also jolts we don’t think about in advance. Such as the sudden realization that you have lived longer than your father, wondering why your Dartmouth roommate died of leukemia and you’re still walking around, or facing what appears to be your imminent demise (either by circumstances not of your making or by your own stupidity) from which your escape can only be explained by Divine intervention. That last one will get one’s attention. Why am I still here? Most of us are who we are (not what we are) by benefit of relatives, mentors, a good education, etc. that support our own interests, drive, and determi- nation. That is a continuing process. What we now have is the time to pass on what we have and what we are still learning. There is great satisfaction in so doing. This, in a way, gets us back to the joy we expected in the first place and a greater reward than we could have imagined. Yet our time is limited and is not to be wasted.

Our 50th reunion will come at a particularly chal- lenging time for our country and all of us. We have Gordie DeWitt and a friend had our share of bad news in the past months. I am confident, however, that the “spirit” that we took renovation projects and 49 new buildings totaling more with us from Dartmouth many years ago is still than two million square feet.

Born into a family of teacher parents and double- digit older brothers, two, and a sister, this product of The Heartland experienced the usual events in a young boy’s life: i.e., school, sports, church, and Jim Gallagher and Marilyn scouts, etc. Like most young boys I had my wishes.

I then went on to law school rather than com- plete the MBA since my ultimate aim was law, and I couldn’t trust myself not to be lured by the high salaries being offered by large corporations. However, I found the first-year MBA curriculum invaluable in understanding the needs and goals of my business clients.

I don’t feel that I (whose credentials consist mostly of green blood, canceled checks, former applicant-interviewer and Alumni Fund arm-twister) should control it, nor do I feel that it should be returned to how it was in the late ’50s but that it should grow and change with the times. As my children were leaving Hanover after their graduations 25 and 23 years ago, I sug- gested to them that they remember the College as it was as they left; it would never be that way again. That is still my feeling. Many of our generation are unwilling to recognize that John Sloan Dickey is no longer the president and that none of his successors have been, nor will be, his reincarnation.

It was in pursuit of this quest, to revisit some of Piqua’s uniquely powerful landmarks (in light of my current perspectives) that, as a still-sanguine septuagenarian, I convinced my long-time fellow travelers to join me in exploring Piqua’s ancient heritage. Driving in new car down what is now the I-75 “corridor,” we turned west into Wapakoneta (along the southern bend of the northbound Auglaize River), headed further west toward Lake St. Mary’s (Ohio’s biggest internal lake), then southward across the Divide on State Rte. 66, past Lake Loramie, toward the Piqua Bend of the southbound Great Miami River. This part of our road-trip allowed me to survey ‘‘the lay of the land” across the southern rim of our Great Lakes Watershed (between Lake Erie and the Ohio River)—accounting for Piqua’s central Place in river-based travel and trade systems from early prehistoric times onward. In Piqua’s City Square, we disembarked beside a civic memorial honoring the famous Mills Brothers Quartet (1920s-1970s), before entering the newly renovated classic (Richardsonian) Plaza Hotel. There, Piqua’s Public Historian welcomed us into the fresh- ly redecorated building, ushered us through the new site of Piqua’s Public Library, Archives; Museum and Community Center, and answered some of our questions about sources and history.

1960 MUSINGS UNLIMITED 120 DARTMOUTH CLASS OF 1960 the best course I ever had, and that was in the opening year! The fact that the College eliminated it, apparently because the faculty could not control its content, continues to amaze me. The fact that the faculty devalued the overall Dartmouth curriculum and its requirements was a major reason Dartmouth entered its 25 years of the Dark Ages. Thankfully, this new president, a scientist, already appears to be leading it out of its self-inflicted funk. I think three non-scientist presidents in a row led to politicization and polarization. They were used to only outbound criticism, and when heavy inbound criticism occurred, they could not and knew not how to handle it: Dark Times. I have pondered and reflected whether our nation has worsened or improved over the 50 years since 1960. Our finan- cial system, our political and legal systems, our healthcare system, and our educational system are all in trouble.

50TH REUNION BOOK 2010 141 1960 MUSINGS UNLIMITED When I returned after Christmas, nothing changed. I remained overconfident. I was having too much fun playing the sport I loved, dazzled by fraternity life, and simply enjoying the good life to which I felt entitled. Then, in February I got a letter from “The Office of the President.” “Wow,” I thought, “I’ve known a few guys who have had letters from the Dean’s office, but I had never known anyone to be invited to the President’s office. This must be really important.” I was excited. The President of Dartmouth wanted to meet with little old me. “What good thing have I done to merit his attention,” I wondered. When the appointed day arrived, I fished out my soiled sport coat from the bottom of my closet, dug around in a pile of clothes for a tie that I had not worn since I left Taft, and made myself as presenta- ble as a slob can. I then made my way to his office, excited to learn what prompted this unusual meeting. After waiting a long time in the outer office, I was Russell Ingersoll and Pat escorted in. There on the far side of a paneled office with its impressive collection of books on its shelves, President Dickey continued. “Mr. Ingersoll, I have sat a president who did not look happy at all to see two things to say to you.

1960 MUSINGS UNLIMITED 188 DARTMOUTH CLASS OF 1960 advised a total of eight corporate CEO’s. These experiences gave me some insight into the human decision-making process. For the most part, human decisions are not the product of a logical process, but rather of intuition. Often the decider is not even aware he or she has already decided but appears to be trying to make up his or her mind. Then a logi- cal construct is created to justify the intuitive deci- sion previously made. This does not mean the decisions are bad ones, merely that those who think they make their decisions based solely or primarily on logic are probably misleading themselves. Most often the final decisions are the same as one’s first instinctive reaction. In this regard, most of the best decisions are made by those with the best instincts. The death of people we love does not extinguish the love they felt for us or that we felt for them. It endures. As a lifelong student of government and history, nothing has distressed me more than the way money, lobbying, and the “revolving door” for government employees and contractors has corrupted the American political and legislative processes.

Some of you might not recall this, but around 1960, we were first warned, “The optimists are studying Russian; the pessimists are studying Chinese.” In those days, that warning was supposed to be a joke. Matts Myhrman Who in 1960 would have thought he would ever live to see the day when the Chinese would sum- mon the POTUS (Ed.: President of the United States) to China—and POTUS would meekly answer the summons? Who would have thought we would see the day when the Chinese would tell POTUS, “Do not accept a visit from the Dalai Lama,” and that POTUS would meekly obey? For 50 years, when we have read about Dartmouth, we have been told things unbelievable. The tri- umphant 1965 shout of, “Thank God the Viet Cong are winning,” by a Dartmouth commence- ment speaker, became “academic freedom.” (Ed. Note: The quotation is, “Thank God we are losing that war,” said in 1968.) When the New York Times, Ned P. Nabers of all papers, told us Dartmouth was practicing racial Ned P. Nabers died on March segregation, Dartmouth assured us it was not. When 13, 1984. Dartmouth covered over the mildly salacious but politically incorrect Hovey Grill murals, we were told by Dartmouth it was not censorship. When Dartmouth students tried to open a newspaper with a different ideological slant, their academic freedom had to be protected from Dartmouth College by the ACLU.

50TH REUNION BOOK 2010 207 1960 MUSINGS UNLIMITED Life has a certain urgency these days as “these days” dwindle down to a more and more precious few. These Musings, “the very likely last Musings” and there’s the urgency, provide an opportunity to drive a stake in the ground and say this is what I believe, this is what I know to be true for myself, this is what I’ve learned. I “choose to muse” on the foundations of my beliefs, the core of my personal philosophy, and hopefully to share something of myself and my experience in the process. The question of purpose is central. As I am nearer the nether terminus, what has been the point of all this, these 71 years of experiencing? Erwin Schroedinger’s essay, “What is Life?” read as a young chemistry major, taught me that the meaning of life is the act of life itself. Life is that which main- tains itself against the tendency of the universe toward randomness. The creation of meaning is like the creation of living beings, in that each uses energy to create order and maintain it against entropy. The assembly of new and more encompass- ing thought pathways is an act of life, and for this thinking-being, it provides the purpose to my life. What this has meant is that I have sought to expand and refine my understanding of my self and my place in the universe. Along the way I came to see the Buddhist nature of Schoedinger’s cosmolog- ical argument. Life is the web without a weaver, John Sloan Dickey and its purpose is the journey itself. Konstantin Kavafis wrote, “If, when at last you reach Ithaca, been many creation myths along the arc of our you find her wanting/ Do not blame Ithaca/ Ithaca civilization and many gods.

For the past few years I have exten- sively researched my family genealogy, which has been most interesting and has resulted in my joining several lineage societies plus a clan. Career: Upon graduating from Dartmouth, I embarked on three years sea duty as a naval officer ending up as execu- tive officer and navigator of the ocean tug U.S.S. Stallion (ATA-193). Then it was off to law school at Indiana Univer- sity. After a brief time practicing law in Florida, I made a career change and joined the DuPont Co. in 1967. My DuPont career took me to Akron, Ohio, and Charlotte, N.C., while serving in a variety of marketing and administrative positions. My final assignment was running one of DuPont’s textile fibers businesses for several years until retiring. Family and Roots: My wife, Janet, and I were married in 1960 and share the experience of being born and raised in the Republic of Panama, Panama Canal Zone. Our fathers were employed as engineers by the Panama Canal Co. We reared two children. Our daughter, Karen, died as the result of a car accident at age 22, shortly after graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill. Our son, Doug, graduated from The Citadel and has an M.B.A. from UNC-Charlotte.

My first exposure to Dartmouth, other than attending a football game at Palmer Stadium against archrival Princeton, was in June 1955 at my father’s 25th reunion for the Class of 1930. The campus was spectacularly beau- tiful, sun shining, bells chiming, beer flowing, and live music—in short, nirvana. What you see is not always what you get. The real Dartmouth began for me after I was accept- ed for admission off of the waiting list in July 1956. This was at least partially the result of some heavy- duty lobbying on my behalf by a few of my father’s classmates. While I was obviously elated by this news, I couldn’t help thinking that being accepted so late meant that I would be low man on the totem pole in the smarts department.

A freshman introductory course in Philosophy, which, I believe, uniquely at the time, approached the subject from the vantage point of differing schools of philosophic inquiry rather than chronologically or historically, opened up for me a dimension of knowledge of which I had been wholly unaware. I believe the course had several sections, but it was chaired by Maurice Mandelbaum, who later left for a position at Johns Hopkins.

Mali is a very poor country that doesn’t have a single surgeon who has been trained to repair cleft lips. Our group, The Global Smile Foundation, is making its third trip to Bamako, the capital. We’re doing our best to teach the ENT surgeons (we’ve worked with all eight in the country) how to do the surgery, but it’s a French speaking country, and the language barrier has made it difficult. Fortunately we have a few terrific inter- preters and I think that at least one surgeon is about ready to start doing cases without our help.

He made annual fishing trips with friends to remote fishing spots in Canada. While at Dartmouth College, he biked from Hanover to Cleveland.

He and his son rode through England and Scotland, meeting up period- ically with his wife and daughters. He participated in the Audrey Prouty Century Ride every year. Two years ago, he purchased a folding bike so he could take it with him wherever he went, including the lake region of Italy.

Anyone who sat next to him at a football or basketball game knows what I mean. He was one of the few people who could out-talk me, according to another classmate.” Two of Don’s children, his son, Jeff, and his daugh- ter, Deborah, graduated from Dartmouth in the classes of ’85 and ’86. His son recalled of his father, “He loved Dartmouth. He was overwhelmed with pride when we went there. He loved to sing the John Wheaton and Jane songs and tell the stories of the games.

From gather- ings in Honolulu to making acquaintances on a trip to Antarctica, Dartmouth people have had this strong tie, stronger than any other college I know. Of course, we all recognize this to be true. Dartmouth does some things right! It is interesting to me that Dartmouth alumni include two Secretaries of the Treasury (who have recently shaped the coun- try’s financial future), the current CEO of the largest industrial company in America, the editor of the Editorial Page of , and an out- spoken liberal (by his own labeling) professor of public policy and past Secretary of Labor. Very dif- ferent views of the world are within this group, but each had the Dartmouth experience. They went on to develop their own philosophies, on the right and on the left, and each became a leader. I think this speaks wonders for Dartmouth and its education.

The remarkable thing is that every now and then, I am even slightly productive. The second thing I have learned is that modern medicine may keep us alive, but we need to be very careful, as we grow older, to make sure we also keep our distance from the medical profession! Having survived a malignant melanoma, almost 40 years ago, I certainly appreciate the effectiveness of what

1960 MUSINGS UNLIMITED 282 DARTMOUTH CLASS OF 1960 doctors can do for you. However, as we grow older, those contemporaries of mine who regularly visit doctors are buried in a sea of medications; I have come to the conclusion that frequent visits to doc- tors only gives them more opportunities to find something wrong with us and prescribe, in some cases, medications that don’t really benefit us. The third thing that comes to my mind is the fact that all of us need to have an avocation that gives us the chance to try to excel at something other than the way we make our living.

1960 MUSINGS UNLIMITED 288 DARTMOUTH CLASS OF 1960 When Axel Grabowsky asked your editor if our Musings Unlimited book might have room for a Then and Now sec- tion, said editor figured, “Hey, it’s unlimited.” He also envisioned a page of data comparing our era with the present. Read on, my fellow classmates; herewith, a veritable plethora of facts, observations, and memory-jogging informa- tion patiently, assiduously, and creatively assembled by Axel and his band of merry assistants. When you see Axel at our reunion, don’t forget to grab his hand and say, “Nice job, Axel, thanks for the memories!” Then and Now By Axel L. Grabowsky ’60 Have things changed at Dartmouth during the last fifty years? You bet they have! And yet underneath the statistics and numbers, behind the names and new courses on subjects that we hadn’t even heard about, the more things change, the more they remain the same at our alma mater. It’s one of the great institu- tions of learning in the world. It still inspires passion among its alumni as at few other schools and it con- stantly adapts to change and even contributes to the change. Since we are speaking of change here, let me paraphrase Jim Wright on the subject. “Dartmouth alumni,” he said more or less, “enjoy their four years here so much and think the place so perfect that heaven help anyone who wants to change the tiniest little thing.” Well, he is, of course, correct but eventually we all realize that in order to stay great an institution must adapt to modernity while keeping its basic principles intact. I think Dartmouth does that admirably. Now that this essay is done, I realize that I raise more questions than I answer. Dartmouth is an incredibly complex organization, always has been. Every one of the dozens and dozens of departments, offices, fief- doms, and interest groups could take up by themselves all the space I am allotted. Therefore, what follows skims the surface. I have refrained from commenting on the data (although it was hard at times); you will have your own take on the changes and on the things that stayed the same. But during Reunion, face to face, and after- ward in the Class Newsletter we can bat this about to our hearts’ content. I was going to include the Medical School, the Thayer School of Engineering and the Tuck School of Business here. Each of them kindly and enthusiastically provided me with all the information I asked for. Alas, I ran out of space so if some ’60 wants to do a “Then and Now” on the occasion of his 50th anniver- sary of graduating from one of these fine schools, I’ll be happy to contribute my notes to him. All dollar amounts quoted for “then” are followed by an amount in brackets that is today’s equivalent of the 1960 dollars adjusted for inflation. The exact adjustment figure is 6.92893; I have rounded that to 7. All information in this article comes from Dartmouth publications and websites, the College’s administrators, faculty, other employees, and its alumni. To avoid a thicket of references, I have not cited any. If you want to know where I got a fact, ask me and I’ll tell you. At the end of this piece, I list the people who helped. While I engaged my wife, daughter (a ’92), and several classmates (also named below) as fact checkers and editors, any remaining errors, omissions, unwarranted slants, outrageous speculations remain mine alone. We begin with statistics about Dartmouth’s students. As you read this, keep in mind that there were 1,434,000 U.S. high school graduates in 1956; in 2001 (the latest available actual numbers) there were 2.9 million. So I estimate about 3 million for 2006.

Before we compare courses, academic departments, majors, and other such academic matters, recall that exactly in the middle of our college careers, the traditional two-semester per year system changed to three terms per year, which eventually, in the 1970s, morphed into the “The D Plan” to alleviate overcrowding that came with co-education. After two years of two semesters per year and five courses per semester, we were faced with three terms per year and three courses per term. You had to be there to appreciate the confusion and apprehension, although the College, I recall, did a commendable job of selling the new scheme. Today the D Plan (four terms per year; students must be off-campus for at least one fall, winter, or spring term during their sophomore or junior year and on-campus for the summer term between the sophomore and junior years; typically the off-terms are used for foreign study or some kind of internship) is still unique in U.S. higher education, but at Dartmouth it is well accepted.

So, what could we chose from in terms of academics? Let me stress, however, that neither the numbers for “then” nor for “now” are absolutes; it is at times difficult to distinguish between a “department,” for example, an “interdisciplinary program” and an “orphan course.” But neither set is off by more than one or two.

Note: Why Air Science was classified as a Social Science and its Military and Naval counterparts as Science by now has become quite nebulous. What courses were and are now available, and which are most popular? The remarkable thing about the following is how the “fundamentals” continue to reign supreme with a few “modern” additions. It would seem to show the emphasis that the College had and is placing on the core of human knowledge and thinking without neglecting the fact that the world moves on.

Study abroad began to be popular “then.” Dartmouth had set up three programs: one each in Caen, France, Freiburg, Germany, and Salamanca, Spain. Now, there are 45 programs in 26 foreign countries: Morocco, China, Japan, New Zealand, Italy, India, Cayman Islands, Costa Rica, Thailand, Greece, Ireland, United Kingdom, Trinidad, South Africa, France, Czech Republic, Germany, Canada, Austria, Brazil, Russia, Argentina, Spain, Mexico, Denmark, and Korea. In addition there are 17 off-campus arrangements in the United States at a number of colleges, universities, other academic, and teaching institutions.

How does the faculty compare between “then” and “now”? Because the faculty not on tenure-track, i.e., lecturers, visiting professors, adjunct professors, teaching assistants, etc., are not always readily identifi- able, particularly in the late 1950s, and because a number of professors are active in multiple departments, the numbers here are approximations.

One of the most noticeable differences between “then” and “now” concerns one of the, at least hitherto, very fundamentals of academic life: books. We constantly read (or perhaps better, hear and view) that books are on the way out, to be replaced by electronics. One hopes not, but all the signs point that way.

50TH REUNION BOOK 2010 295 1960 MUSINGS Baker-Berry is a library that has evolved, is evolving, and will continue to evolve from being “only a physi- cal entity” to one that is that, plus more and more “digital,” as the library’s reference bibliographer explained it. Online/digital materials are “now” available 24/7 from any authorized user’s desktop on campus. The library catalogue moved from the physical card catalog (that filled much of Baker’s main hall) to an online system. Reserve readings have significantly shifted from print to digital copies accessible online 24/7. The availability of journals and magazines online has been vastly enhanced; and a growing number of books are also available online. The shift from reproducing archival sources in microfilm to digital editions has been made. Library users are now able to search the full text of online, digital resources. The access to materials beyond the Dartmouth collection has been significantly expanded; and much quicker delivery is now a reality through cooperative agreements such as Borrow Direct (books) and Rapid (articles). And, the library now features public computer clusters; the ability to scan material on flat-bed scan- ners and via photocopiers; Geographic Information System (GIS) software for mapping; an exten- sive video collection; and the ability to “stream” videos over the campus network; plus the Novack Café on the ground floor. The user of Baker-Berry (the Berry part opened in 2000) and the other libraries, Biomedical Libraries (opened 1963), Feldberg Business & Engineering Library (opened 1974), Kresge Physical Sciences Library (opened 1973), Paddock Music Library (opened 1962; expanded 1986), Rauner Special Collections (opened 1998), Sherman Art Library (became a separate unit in 1970), and the Storage Library on campus and the Matthews-Fuller Health Sciences Library at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (opened 1992) “now” has access to more than 35,000 digital resources such as indexes, databases and journals, 20,000 print and digital journal titles, 2.7 million books, 12,000 videos, 190,000 maps, 35,000 sound recordings and 450,000 photographs. “Then,” when we graduated, Baker boasted of 750,000 volumes. These ever more digital libraries are a very good example of one of the greatest differences between “then” and “now”: the computer. When we graduated, the very great majority of us had never touched a comput- er. Perhaps the simplest way to describe “then” is to list the “great” computer moments at Dartmouth. In the late 1950s John Kemeny and fellow mathematics professor Thomas Kurtz invented the computer lan- guage BASIC. In 1959, Dartmouth acquired a rudimentary LPG-30, which started “computing in earnest” on campus. That was the “then.” In 1964 Kemeny and Kurtz installed a GE computer in College Hall and with the help of several undergraduates developed the then-revolutionary idea that a computer can and will process the tasks of more than one user. In 1962, they proposed a centralized campus computer facili- ty that in 1968 became the Kiewit Computation Center with a GE-635. In 1983, the College installed a campus-wide data network and in 2001, a campus-wide wireless network. Today there are about 13,000 computers in use on campus. Although most of us belong to the last generation that thought of the computer and the even more exotic thing called software as something extraordinary, even we undoubtedly appreciate the incredible difference between “then” and “now.” To bring it home even more poignantly, the Director of Alumni Information Resources at the College, in a recent presentation to alumni, informed us that the current generation of students, for example, considers “emailing barely adequate for communicating with their grandparents.” Today “texting” and “messaging” are the way to stay in touch instantly with everyone no matter where they or you are. And we—at least the great majority of us—thought we had caught up with computing! What were the costs to attend Dartmouth “then” and “now”?

Tuition Then: In our freshman year it was Now: For 2009/10, it stands at $980 [$6,860]; in our senior year it $38,445 had gone to $1,400 [$9,800]

1960 MUSINGS 296 DARTMOUTH CLASS OF 1960 Room and Board Then: Eating in newly renovated Now: For 2009/10 it averages Thayer (our Junior year) cost $490 $11,295 [$3,430] for the three-term year; in our Senior year room rents range from $200 to $510, averaging $345 p.a. [$2,415]; for a total of $690 [$4,830] to $1,000 [$7,000]

Other, e.g., books, laundry, Then: $2,500 [$17.500] to $2,700 Now: I am told that this number clothing, room furnishings, [$18,900] varies so widely, depending on the social and personal expenses, individual, that it is just about but no travel meaningless. Costs at peer schools Then: In our Junior year Harvard Now: The other Ivies are all over was the most expensive at $2,278 $47,000. [$15,946]; Cornell was second at $2,200 [$15,400]; Dartmouth was the least expensive at $1,990 [$13,930].

The College knew “then” and “now” that not everyone could afford these charges. In many cases “then” and “now” financial aid was needed. This led to what “now” is called “need-blind” admission, i.e., first you are admitted, and then the College figures out how to finance your education. (For all I know, it was called the same thing “then.”)

Total financial aid disbursed In 1957/8 a total of $960,000 [$6.7 In 2007/8 a total of $54,494,740 in by the College million] consisting of $765,700 outright scholarships only.

The total increased to $1,022,700 [$7.2 million] in 1958/9.

How many students receive In 1957/8 768 undergraduates, i.e., In 2007/8 about 50% of all under- financial aid? 27.3% of the student body; in graduates receive outright scholar- 1958/9 this drops to 750 students, ships; in 2008/9 57% do. 45.6% of i.e., 26.4% the Class of 2010 receives outright grants.

Fifty years have given our lives as students a miraculously shiny and warm patina. But the shine and the warmth are subtly and sometimes not so subtly different for every one of us. (More on that under the heading “Traditions.”) So I intend to have everyone remember their own experience as you read what the Class of 2010 thinks and does. (The following is based on an absolutely unscientific poll in October 2009.) The ’10s are concerned about the College’s budget cuts. It’s a somewhat amorphous concern; they realize they will be gone by the time the dollar-and-cents reality hits. But that raises their most immediate con- cern: finding a job after graduation. On campus they continue to struggle with two issues: alternative social spaces (i.e., something in addition to fraternities and Collis) and the gender imbalance in the Greek system and elsewhere. In referring to these two issues, student leaders have coined the phrase “gender- neutral social space.” What they articulate is the need for campus social space that is at least comparable to (or better than) fraternity basements. Students need, it is claimed, social spaces that are not controlled by either one gender or the other. (Perhaps the best way to elucidate this concern is to quote one woman who said that she felt absolutely equal in the classroom and on the playing fields and as a second-class cit- izen socially.)

50TH REUNION BOOK 2010 297 1960 MUSINGS For the ’10s the favorite places to hang out are fraternities (not sororities), Collis Center, and the Green (weather permitting). Under the rubric of non-academic, non-organized favorite activities are listed: play- ing beer pong (if “playing” is the right word), seeing varsity games (I question my findings a little here, with perhaps the exception of hockey), hanging out at fraternities, skiing, movies at The Nugget and the movie theatre in Lebanon, and the shows at the Hop. The favorites among the more organized activities are: intramural sports, particularly hockey, dancing, the various publications, and the myriad of student organizations encompassed by COSO. (More about COSO below.) The favorite food is pizza, followed by salads, salmon, Collis soup, steak, hamburgers, and South American cuisine. The preferred on-campus eating establishments are Home Plate and Collis; off-campus, Molly’s, Jewel of India, Murphy’s, The Canoe Club, Bentley’s in Woodstock, and Jesse’s in Lebanon. If you have reached the legal N.H. drinking age of 21 (this qualifier is another one of my findings that I question just a little) you preferably indulge in bourbon and ginger ale, Cosmopolitans, and gin and tonic. (Beer wasn’t especially mentioned, presumably because it is so ubiquitous.) If you are younger, you go for hot apple cider from The Dirt Cowboy, hot chocolate from Lou’s, smoothies from Collis Café, and cream soda. A few more words about beer: to be permitted on campus, every keg must be registered with the College. Last year 283 kegs were so registered, and there probably were a few that weren’t. Ergo, about 300 kegs and an uncounted num- ber of 30-racks are “now” annually consumed. Stinson’s has replaced Tanzi’s as the local purveyor. Dartmouth men and women, I learned, “now” mostly date Dartmouth women and men. In this connection, I was also told that the term “dating,” as I understand it, is an anachronism. “Then” our dates came from back home (and that is still the case many times “now”) and otherwise primarily from Colby Junior, Mount Holyoke, Smith, and Skidmore, plus a slew of other women’s colleges. A brief anecdote puts this into perspective: a senior came to one of our classmate’s house near Hanover two years ago to watch a football game. Our classmate told him he was sorry his wife wasn’t here, and that she had gone to a Smith luncheon. “What’s Smith?” he asked. The Greek-letter organizations, although at times under heavy assault over the last 50 years, and with many warts perceived through adult eyes, both “then” and “now” were and are in healthy shape. They were and remain the center for students’ social activities. All fraternities “then” and most Greek-letter organizations “now” have their own or College-owned facilities. April 1, 1960, was a historic date in the history of fraternities and all future Greek-letter organizations at Dartmouth. On that date all nationally imposed discriminatory clauses in the rules governing local chapters had to be eliminated. The fraternities affected (Delta Tau Delta, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi and Sigma Nu) had five choices: go out of exis- tence, cut their ties with their nationals, change the national charter, get an exemption from their nationals, or go local.

1960 MUSINGS 298 DARTMOUTH CLASS OF 1960 Note: I have been trying to get these numbers straight for several weeks now. No luck. The various web- sites and the cognoscenti can’t come to an agreement. What is more, Kappa Kappa Kappa always was and is a local, no? (Editor’s Note: As a Kappa, I can report, Tri-Kap founded in 1842, is the third oldest fraternity in the country, was and is a local, and always discriminated on the content of one’s character!) (Author’s Note: Editors invariably pull rank and then shamelessly propagandize!) “Then” we had three senior societies: Sphinx, Casque and Gauntlet, and Dragon, in order of seniority. “Now” there are eight: the three from “then” plus Fire and Skoal, Phoenix, Abaris, Cobra, and Gryphon. Student organizations have always been and continue to be myriad, sustained by tradition, buffeted by modernity, but always responding to the needs and desires of the students. “Then” and “now” the majori- ty were and are under the aegis of the Council on Student Organizations (COSO). But many others are not and therefore difficult to pin down. “Then” COSO covered 32 clubs and organizations; in addition there were an unknown number of groups outside of COSO. “Now” there are 137 groups officially under the aegis of COSO; in addition there are at least 65 to 70 recognizable groups outside of COSO. The following classification, based on COSO websites, student comments, and common sense, is at best incomplete.

50TH REUNION BOOK 2010 301 1960 MUSINGS There were “then” several organizations the purpose of which is lost in the fog of history, e.g., Mu Kappa Gamma (aka “Mystic Knights of the Grommet”), D.G.U. (previously known as the Eight School Street Gotcha Club), Gile Hall Basement Committee, and the Peacock Club. Among the groups that are “now” listed particularly under “issue-oriented” there are also a number that, on the surface at least, fail to com- municate a purpose. The Arts in general and visual arts in particular are one of the “great secret strengths” of Dartmouth, says Kate Conley, the Associate Dean of the Faculty for the Arts and Humanities. In the late 1950s the visual arts were still confined to Carpenter Hall (as were the performing arts to Robinson and anywhere else they could put up something resembling a stage); but in our Senior year, ground was broken for Hopkins Center. And that was eventually followed by the magnificent Hood Museum. Here we are 50 years later and construction is starting on the new Visual Arts Center to leave Hopkins presumably entirely to the performers. The collection of art and anthropology objects in 1959 numbered about 18,000; “now” that number has increased to roughly 60,000. It is interesting, however, that the majority of what the curators call the “stars” of the collection today have been on campus since well before 1960, among them the Assyrian reliefs; the Orozco murals in Baker; the Daniel Henchman silver monteith (aka the “Wentworth Bowl”); the portraits by Joseph Steward, Class of 1780, of John Phillips and Eleazar Wheelock; the College Counsel portraits, including Francis Alexander’s portrait of Daniel Webster; John Sloan’s “McSorley's Back Room,” and Vuillard's “Seascape at Honfleur”; as well as more than 100 works that Abby Aldrich Rockefeller gave the College in 1935, including Thomas Eakins’s “The Architect.” The Players, as well as smaller performing groups and of course the various musical ensembles, pitched their tents wherever they could and performed splendidly “then.” The comparison, in particular, between the Little Theater in Robinson and the facilities of Hopkins Center is spectacular. As one of our thespian classmates said, he put on his full costume and makeup in one of the downstairs closets that served as dressing rooms in Robinson, left the building by the back door, went around it and reentered it through the front door, climbed two sets of stairs, and only then entered the theater from the back, singing as loudly as he could “I’ve been working on the Railroad” while strolling down the aisle to the stage. Dartmouth always had and has a number of religious groups that permitted students to grow spiritually. “Then” we had the Tucker Foundation, designed to “further the moral and spiritual work of the College,” plus the inter-denominational Christian Union, Canterbury Association, Newman Club, Jewish Life Coun- cil, Lutheran Club, and Christian Science group. In the more complicated world of today, there are more than three times as many groups, all overseen by the Tucker Foundation: Agapé Christian Fellowship, Al Nur: Muslim Student Organization, Alpha Omega Student Group (UCC and Presbyterian), Aquinas House – Catholic Campus Ministry, Baha’i Association, Baptist Student Union, Chabad at Dartmouth, Christian Impact (aka Campus Crusade for Christ), Christian Science Organization, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Student Association, Episcopal Campus Ministry, Gospel Choir, Hillel: Jewish Student Organization, Logos Community at Dartmouth (Presbyterian), Morning Glory, Navigators Chris- tian Fellowship, Orthodox Church in America, Eastern Orthodox and Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF), Our Savior Lutheran Church and Student Center, Quakers: Society of Friends, Rollins Chapel (Ecu- menical Christian Congregation), Shanti: Hindu Student Organization, Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at Dartmouth College, United Church of Christ at Dartmouth, and Zen Practice Group (Buddhist).

The following section on the non-academic side of the administration, particularly for “now,” is a bit sparse. I was unable to obtain much information. The College’s publication Officers, Regulations and Courses for 1959/1960 lists a total of 78 administrators plus another eight for Tuck (3), Thayer (2), and the Medical School (3). In the academic area, (i.e., the president, the various deans and assistants, registrars, academic and other counseling) there were 23. That left 55 for the rest of the non-academic administration. One must also assume that there were a number of staff people. The Office of the Treasurer (the treasurer, assistants and associates, comptrollers, bursars, business managers, purchasing agents, the managers of Building and Grounds, forest properties, dining facilities, and The Hanover Inn) had 19 people. The Development area had 9. The Secretary's Office (which included The Alumni Magazine and the News Service) consisted of 7 men. The library was managed by 7 people. The Health Service was administered by 6 men and women. And Athletics plus all Student Organizations were overseen by 7.(An interesting sidelight: of the 78 administrators, only three were women, each very formidable but in an archetypal female role: Mary F. Shaw, Assistant to the President, Jeanette Gill, Manager of the Dartmouth Dining Association, and Ruth H. Moser, Administrator and House Mother (I kid you not) of Dick's House.

50TH REUNION BOOK 2010 305 1960 MUSINGS For the “now” (specifically January 2010) I can only report that the College has 3,951 employees, of whom 767 are faculty, which leaves 3,184 for all other. The numbers refer to “FTEs” or “full-time-equiva- lents.” In other words, there are probably more people involved since at least some are part-timers. Alumni contributions to the College Fund have well outpaced inflation rates over the years.

Amount contributed 1955/56: $708,527 [$5.0 million] 2008/09: $38.1 million 1959/60: $628,000 [$4.4 million]

President Jim Kim tells a funny story about the circling of the bonfire on Homecoming Friday evening that captures the essence of “traditions.” After the speeches from the steps of Dartmouth Hall are all done and the bonfire is flaming away lustily, our new president decides to partake in that primeval Dartmouth tradition of running around the bonfire. He does half a dozen laps and figures that’s enough of one stren- uous tradition for one night. He stops at a cluster of alumni, faculty, and administrators who all applaud his run and says something to the effect that six laps is enough—no need to do the last two class numer- als plus 100 laps. Everyone stares at him and then they proceed to tell him what the “real” tradition is. By the time he hears seven (or maybe a dozen) different versions I suspect he realizes that traditions are a very personal thing. Every class, every alumnus or alumna, every faculty and administration member has a special and personal version. As for alumni, the older we get, the more special and more personal our “real” real versions get. With that in mind let me run down Dartmouth’s hallowed traditions, well beloved, usually somewhat lost in the fog of history—but our traditions nonetheless. (Some of this comes from the September/October 2008 Dartmouth Alumni Magazine with revisions as needed.) I have divided our traditions into three groups: the grand old or essential ones, the “nice to have” ones and the minor ones—and I expect to be properly castigated for making these divisions. First the “grand old” ones: Bonfire: Supposedly it started in 1888 to celebrate a baseball victory. “Then” and “now” it was and is one of the essentials of celebrating Homecoming. In the late 1950s we scoured the countryside for creosote-laden railroad ties, fallen-down barns and outhouses, crates, pallets, and cartons from Thayer and local merchants, and pretty much anything else combustible that we could get our hands on reasonably legally and for free. The College helped us move our material to the center of the Green, and then we built the pyre ourselves. The tradition lives on strongly with a few modernizing changes. The College buys the materials to be burned and brings it to the Green; the lumber and other stuff is lifted up the side of the pyre by fork-lifts, everyone working on the bonfire wears a hard hat, and only a certain number of people can work on it at any one time. There are as many traditions as to the required height of the pyre as there are undergraduate classes or perhaps even alumni. (In October 1959, there were 28,530 living undergraduate alumni and a total of 29,658; on October 9, 2009, there were 56,697 living undergraduate alumni and a total of 71,087.) The Homecoming Parade and the Circling the Bonfire: The returning classes parade through town and around the Green to the steps of Dartmouth Hall. The freshmen “then” and the first year students “now” equally enthusiastically circle the bonfire until it collapses. That’s the tradition—I think. Ice Sculpture: “Then” as “now” the DOC designs and builds a usually monumental ice sculpture in the mid- dle of the Green. “Then” just about every fraternity and dormitory also built smaller ice sculptures on their front lawns. “Now” only a very few fraternities still do. Freshman/First Year Student Trip: An enduring tradition for new students before classes begin, “then” and “now” expertly planned, arranged, and managed by the DOC. There are some differences, though. About 100 ’60s hiked into the woods and mountains of New Hampshire; more than 95% of the ’10s made the trip, although in addition to hiking, they also mountain climbed, canoed, kayaked, rode horses—you name it. One of the best parts of the trip is the telling of ghost stories at the Ravine Lodge. The Dartmouth Indian: He came a cropper in the 1960s.

Indian Head Senior canes, going back to 1898, hung on a little longer but were discontinued by 1972. Clay pipes ceased to be a tradition in 1992. Pong: “Now” labeled the “quintessential Dartmouth drinking game.” A malicious rumor has it that Pong began in our days. The better your aim, the thirstier you get. The following traditions are in turn nice to have, sometimes delightful, and sometimes hard to fathom why they lasted at all. Sink Night initiates the new brothers and sisters into Greek-letter and similar houses. At Wet-down the newly elected student government members were originally pelted with food and water on the Green. When food and water was replaced by flogging with belts, the tradition died in the 1960s. The a capella choral competition, aka “fraternity hums,” going back to 1899, pitted the various fraternities against each other on the steps of Dartmouth Hall in the spring. Misogynistic lyrics in 1975 apparently ended this truly delightful tradition. Freshman headgear was very much still in fashion “then.” It disappeared from the scene in the early 1970s. Rubbing Bentley’s Nose in Hopkins Center has become a well-entrenched tradition “now.” “Then” we used Dean Craven Laycock’s nose in Baker but not nearly as assiduously. The Trip to the Sea is the Canoe Club’s annual 218-mile paddle (and sometimes race) from Hanover to Long Island Sound, re-staging John Ledyard’s escape from Dartmouth in 1773. Paddling through Hartford, Conn., in the buff is definitely a new “now” tradition. Milk Punch, a combination of left-over liquor, milk, vanilla ice cream, and chopped ice, was served in a large galvanized washtub in fraternities on Sunday morning to, as one of our classmates wrote, “purge the demons and ethers” of the weekend—usually to no avail. Not even the supposedly well-worn jock strap, usually floating in the punch, cleared anyone’s head. Finally, road trips, mostly to women’s colleges, “then” were traditional, always much fun, always dangerous, and a few times fatal. There is not much need for road trips “now.” Here, in no particular order, are some minor traditions; some have held on over the last 50 years, some have died, and some have started new: Fraternity Play Contest, rushing the football field at halftime, Sanborn tea, Salty Dog Rag, 24 hours to Moosilauke, Baker Bells on Request, Keg Jump, Ledyard Challenge, old and new chariot races, polar bear swim, Senior Fence, tennis balls at Princeton hockey games, toga parties, and the Tuck Bicycle Races. At quick word about the physical appearance of Dartmouth. The campus was described in the 1959/60 General Information Bulletin as “a compact unit of 175 acres ... and more than 70 buildings.” The “more than” seems to have included at least another 15 or so ... at least that’s what I came up with when I count- ed only the named buildings on the campus maps of that time. But in any case, the “now” is vastly larger. According to the current website the campus now encompasses about 225 acres, and, as a look at the cur- rent campus map will show, many more buildings, although some have also disappeared, been added to, or changed their name. The most noticeable new buildings since our time are the Hopkins Center, the Berry part of the Baker-Berry Libraries, the Hood Art Museum, Rockefeller Center, and, off campus, the Dartmouth- Hitchcock Medical Center. There are many more new buildings, primarily more or less in the area where the hospital used to be, almost entirely devoted to the sciences. The athletic facilities have had many addi- tions and renovations. The most notable are Berry Sports Center, Boss Tennis Center and Gordon Pavilion, Leverone Field House, Red Rolfe Field, , Floren Varsity House, and Corey Ford Rugby Clubhouse. The Rowing Boathouse has been totally overhauled. While you are on campus for the 50th Reunion, take a guided tour: you will marvel at all the new stuff and yet recognize the many nooks and crannies that have lasted without change over a half-century. In addition to my wife Mary and daughter Tara (’92), I am very indebted to a slew of Dartmouth folks for providing information, making suggestions, checking facts, editing, and all sorts of other assistance: Jim Adler, Rick Bender, Theresa Bryant, Peter Carini, Joe Cassidy, Deborah Carney, Jennifer Casey, Bob Caulfield, Bob Ceplikas, Ellen Ceppetelli, Jay Davis, Carol Fuchs, Lynne Gaudet, Phyllis Gilbert, Denny Goodman, Bill Gould, John Goyette, Bill Gray, Bill Green, Hank Greer, Bill Gundy, Katherine Hart, Fred Hart, Joe Helble, Jeff Horrell, Gerry Huttrer, Bob Kenerson, Brian Kennedy, Gene Kohn, Roli Kolman, Maria Laskaris, Barbara McAdam, Sarah Memmi, John Mitchell, Bill Moorman, Peter Nolette, Joe O’Donnell, Francis Oscadal, Bob Phillips, Sean Plottner, George Potts, Vicki Riley, Rick Roesch, Tony Roisman, Jay Satterfield, Roger Schaefer, Sylvia Spears, Eleni Stavrou, Megan Steven, David Spalding, Andy Steele, Steve Stewater, Janet Terp, John Turco, Francis Vernon, Ellen Waite-Franzen, Jeanne West, as well as the staff of Rauner Special Collection Library not specifically mentioned above.

Demolition of the Hanover Inn, 1996 Bob Blackman Panoramic view of the Inn corner at the arrival of the Earl of Dartmouth for the laying of the cornerstone of Dartmouth Hall in 1904.

Wilson Hall, once the College Gym, now the Museum Montage of Dartmouth Dormitories, ca. 1920

New Dartmouth Hall before painting, 1904 Dartmouth Undying Dartmouth! There is no music for our singing, No words to bear the burden of our praise; Yet how can we be silent and remember The splendor and the fullness of her days? Who can forget her soft September sunsets? Who can forget those hours that passed like dreams? The long cool shadows floating on the campus, The drifting beauty where the twilight streams? Who can forget her sharp and misty mornings, The clanging bells, the crunch of feet on snow, Her sparkling noons, the crowding into commons, The long white afternoons, the twilight glow? See! By the light of many thousand sunsets Dartmouth undying like a vision starts: Dartmouth, the gleaming, dreaming walls of Dartmouth Miraculously builded in our hearts! Franklin McDuffee ’21
