April, 1963 3 Changes In The Administrative Lineup

A retirement, an election and two appointments brought three changes to the administrative lineup of the College in quick succession.

Sidney D. Kline '24 was elected to succeed Boyd Lee Spahr '00 as Presi• dent of the Board of Trustees at the mid-winter meeting of the Board. The re• tirement of Dr. Spahr after 31 years as President was accepted by the Board with "regret and appreciation." The text of the resolution adopted by that group appears on the next page. President of the Berks County Trust Company in Reading, , Mr. Kline brings to the Presidency of the Board a wealth of experience in busi• ness and educational affairs. A 1924 graduate of the College, he received both a law degree and a master's degree from Dickinson's two institutions in 1926. In 1954 he received an honorary doctor of laws degree from Albright, which institution he serves as trustee. He also is a trustee of The Dickinson School of Law and the Reading Hospital and serves as a director of many industrial and business organizations. He has been a member of the College Board since 1945 and has served as chairman of both the finance and steering committees. His wife is the former Leona Barkalow '27. All four of his children have attended Dickinson: Joan Kline Gingrich '51, Sidney, Jr. '54, Robert '58, and Susan, a member of the senior class. In addition, the three married children all married Dickinsonians.

A new administrative position has been filled by a person who is far from new to the Dickinson scene. Benjamin D. James '34, who has been a faculty member of the campus family since 1941, has been appointed Dean of Students. This position resulted from the report of the 1961 survey of the College by the University Senate of the Methodist Church and a re-evaluation of the duties of the Dean of the College. In his new job, Dean James will supervise all non• academic student affairs, including morale and discipline, extra-curricular activi• ties, counselling, student housing, the health services, and the administration of the Student Activities Center when it is completed. A 1934 graduate of the College, Dean James was a high school teacher and coach before returning to his alma mater in 1941 as an instructor in educa• tion and athletic coach. In 1948 he was appointed Dean of Admissions and in 1951 was named Chairman of the Department of Psychology and Education. He relinquished both these posts to take on his new duties. Dean James received a master's degree from Bucknell and in 1962 was awarded a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania.

Richard D. Cheshire, a Colgate graduate who spent the last two years as assistant to the Vice-President for Development at Colgate, was named to the position of Director of Development, effective January 1. In this position he relieves George Shuman, Jr. '37 who resigned as Director of Development to devote more time and energy to his duties as Financial Vice President and Treasurer. Mr. Shuman had served in the development capacity since 1955 and was largely responsible for much of the initial effort in the present development program. Mr. Cheshire is a 1958 graduate of and. ob~ained a master's degree in education from the University of New Hampshire m 1959. He taught history and served as athletic coach at Chatham. High School in Chatham, New Jersey for one year until he was appointed to his former position at Colgate in 1960. He is married and the father of a one-year-old daughter.

Recognizing that each man brings to his new office an abundance of talent and experience, The Dickinson Alumnus pledges its support and extends its best wishes to each.

4 The Dickinson Alumnus The resolution adopted by the Board of Trustees on the retirement of Dr. Spahr reads as follows:

BOYD LEE SPAHR A native of the Cumberland Valley, Boyd Lee Spahr attended the Dickinson Preparatory School, entered the College in 1896 and graduated with honors in 1900. He remained in Carlisle another year to teach in the old prep school before en• tering the Law School of the University of Pennsylvania where he graduated with honors in 1904. As an undergraduate, he was Editor of the Dickinsonia!!..i_ Pres• ident of pis fraternity, active in his Literary Society and early cast a shadow of his deep interest in the life of the Col• lege. Soon after his graduation, he wrote "Dickinson Doings." He had been practicing law in only four years when he was elected a Trustee of the College in 1908. He was 28 years of age and became the youngest man named to the Board in the history of the College. Until 1912, the President of the College was also the Presi• dent of the Board. In that year Judge Edward W. Biddle was elect• ed President of the Board and he served until his retirement in June 1931. Boyd Lee Spahr was elected to succeed him and has served with high devotion for more than thirty-one years. The affairs of the College have been as relaxing to him as a hobby and, at the same time, as deeply a personal concern as those of his own family. Since the founding of the College, he has given more of his talents, hours and means than anyone else has done. Dr. Spahr is largely responsible for the fine collection of paintings adorning the College walls. For more than thirty years, he has made innumerable contributions of books, letters, pictures and other pieces of Dickinsonia for the College Li• brary. Properly, the Boyd Lee Spahr Room in the Library bears his name. It is also enshrined in the endowment fund for the Spahr Chair of American History. Three volumes have been pub• lished containing the Boyd Lee Spahr Lectures in Americana. With, perhaps, a primary interest in the Library, he recently paid for major alterations, adding a balcony level to the main reading room. Through the years, he has contributed and played a leading part in every campaign for funds. Important as his gifts have been, equally important and con• tinuous has been his leadership in the educational advance• ment of the College. His is a Dickinson family. He sent his three sons to the Col• lege and his grandson is a member of the Senior Class. His eldest son, Boyd Lee Spahr, Jr. was elected a Trustee last June. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, on this fifteenth day of December, 1962, that a copy of this Citation be presented to him and in• scribed in full on a page in the minutes of this mee ti ng .
