PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE In 1963 the Psi Upsilon Fraternity, after much study, instituted a Program which emphasized the modernization of our operations. Among other things, the new program provided for a larger and more com municative "Diamond," a full time knowledgeable operating staff at headquarters and Chapter Standards to serve as a guide to our chapters. The Convention called for the study of our Constitution with a promise to amend it so that it would be more in step with today's educational world. We spent most of last year acquainting our under graduates and Alumni with the significance of the Program, not only to assure verbal subscription of its tenets, but to further its active implementation. By the conclusion of Convention 1964, we had instaUed our full time staflF and amended our Consti We will have a specifically designed campaign, tution so as to make it more effective. We encouraged among others, for those chapters which rush fresh each of our chapters to adopt an individual chapter men at the beginning of the fall semester.

  • Dada Alumni Exhibition 2011
    DADA ALUMNI EXHIBITION 2011 Catalog of the June 2011 Show by Sue Reed ‘81 The DADA Alumni Exhibition was held during Commencement and Reunion for Dartmouth College, June 11-19, 2011 at storefront art studio, #4 Currier Place, Dartmouth College, Hanover NH. DADA (Dartmouth Alumni in Design and Architecture) was founded in 2011 as an organization open to Dartmouth alumni, professors and students interested in studying and creating the built environment. This includes design, buildings, landscape, planning, development, preservation, interiors, structures, sustainability, building science, product design, retail, theater and exhibit design, memorials, sculpture, art, furnishings, real estate, and construction. It’s the intersection of art, science, and human behavior. The organization took several years to set up, working with the Alumni Office, based on the examples of other alumni groups, such as the lawyers and the media group. This exhibit is the first public event put on by DADA. The exhibit was proposed at Winter Carnival 2011, the same time that DADA ratified it’s by-laws and set up a Facebook page. The Exhibit had a budget of zero. It was only possible because the Studio Art Department very generously loaned studio space during Commencement and Reunions. We only found out exactly what room and exhibits we had three days before the show opened, but with scrounged materials and everyone pitching in it seemed to work out well. An architectural historian wielded a paintbrush, the NYC architect hammered nails, the recent grad set up the digital projections, and a construction project manager tuned the track lights. Most of the folks organizing the show had never attended a Dartmouth Reunion before.

    CLASS OF 1989 FALL 2018 ‘89CLASS ACTS President’s Corner Happy Fall ‘89s! It is a busy time for our class and the college, as we are busily planning our 30th Reunion in June, and the college is turning 250! These are big numbers which signify a rich history and also the great passage of time. As the college is a different place today than it was 250, 150, and yes, 30 years ago, so too are we different than we were when we left Hanover in June of 1989. 30 years of life, experiences, charted courses and uncharted courses have brought us to where we are today. Did you expect to be doing what you are doing right now? Could you have predicted where you are at this moment? For me, I would say in some ways the answer is yes and in some ways the answer is no. I would expect that might be the answer for many of us. Wherever life has taken you, we hope to share and celebrate who we are individually and collectively throughout this year. I hope you will take a moment and let us know what’s happening in your life right now. I hope you will join us for our annual Virtual Reunion via Stay Connected: facebook and by email to our Dartmouth mailbox, which will take place in early winter.

    Alexander K. “Alec” Scott ’89 Dartmouth College Oral History Program SpeakOut March 6, 2020 Transcribed by Mim Eisenberg/WordCraft [SOPHIE M.] WHITTEMORE: I’m Sophie Whittemore from the Dartmouth Class of 2020, and today I’m here in the Rauner Special Collections Library at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, interviewing [Alexander K.] “Alec” Scott from the Class of 1989. The date is March 6th, 2020, and the time is currently one p.m. Eastern. Alec, would you like to introduce yourself and where you’re located in terms of holding this interview right now, like building, state, et cetera? SCOTT: Sure. I’m in my home in Oakland, California, although I’m originally from Canada, and I’m doing the interview late on a relatively overcast morning. WHITTEMORE: Awesome. And just a reminder: This project is to maintain an accurate oral history of the LGBTQ+ [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and plus] community at Dartmouth, so please try to remain as accurate as give as full of an account as possible and as you feel comfortable doing so. And, again, Alec, I just really wanted to thank you so much for participating in this project. SCOTT: Well, thank you. I’m really glad the college is doing this. It’s—it’s—it feels important to me. WHITTEMORE: Thank you. Now, to get a better sense of background, can you tell me about where you grew up? SCOTT: I grew up in southern Ontario, a small town outside of Toronto called Oakville [Ontario, Canada], and I was the first—I might be getting ahead of myself [chuckles], but I was the first kid in my public high school to go south for college, and that was because I had an American mom who encouraged us at least to look at the schools—schools south of the border.

    John [F.] Keane ’66 Dartmouth College Oral History Program Dartmouth Vietnam Project May 18, 2016 Transcribed by Mim Eisenberg/WordCraft [ANDREW T.] CAROTHERS: All right, so this is Andrew Carothers interviewing John [F.] Keane for the Dartmouth Vietnam Project. It is Wednesday, May 18th at 11:43 a.m. I’m in Rauner [Special Collections] Library at Dartmouth College, and John is in the Outer Banks in North Carolina. John, good to get a chance to speak with you today. KEANE: My pleasure, Andrew. I’m looking forward to this. CAROTHERS: So the plan for the interview is generally we’ll start off by kind of talking about your—your childhood, your upbringing. We’ll get into your—your time at Dartmouth and then move from there into your experiences in Vietnam, and then at the end, you know, kind of looking back on Vietnam and life after Vietnam. So to begin with—to start from the beginning, where—where and when were you born? KEANE: I was born in Huntington, New York, on July 4, 1944. CAROTHERS: Oh born on the Fourth of July! KEANE: And my parents—yeah, July 4, 1944. My—my brother used to complain because when we were little kids, they would have parades in our town for me, but they didn’t have it for his birthday, right? CAROTHERS: [Laughs.] That’s funny. And where—where is Huntington, New York? Is that near New York City or upstate? KEANE: Huntington is 35 miles from Manhattan on Long Island, on the North Shore of Long Island.
