The Great Class of 1953 at Their Sixtieth Reunion The Great Class of 1953 at Their Sixtieth Reunion ’53 Out will focus this and the following issues on plans for the 65th reunion as well as news of our classmates and their families. And, at this stage of our lives in the mid-octogenarian years, many classmates have gone before us and their lives and the lives of their families will always be very much class news. The fifth verse of Dartmouth Undying says it all. “Other days are very near us, as we sing here soft and low We can almost hear the voices of the boys of long ago. They are scattered now, these brothers, up and down the world they roam Some have gone to lands far distant, from the dear old college home Some have crossed the silent river, they are looking down tonight The thought of these old brothers, makes our love now burn so bright.” And on the next page “ here we are a little while back.” Let’s all press our good health button and make the 65th in September of 2018 th The 65 Reunion-a Record Setting Promise for ‘53 A Letter from Put: Dear 53 Classmates: Based on Hanover resident Harlan Fair’s chairing of our very successful 60th reunion, President Al thought he would sucker another Hanover resident into chairing our 65th. A while back he called me offering the opportunity. I said I would think about it. Al said he would be away for 10 days and would get back to me. He never did and I breathed a sigh of relief. The next thing I knew about it was a congratulatory email from Halloran. [Aw Put, you always wanted to do the 65th. It was In the stars!] Bill Montgomery and Frank Logan, both ‘52s, graciously met with me to brief me on their experiences. They had high praise for Angela Stafford ’91 in the Alumni Office who organized their 65th at a pace suitable for our age and who will be doing the same for us. Angela is the Secretary/Treasurer nominee for the Association of Alumni up-coming officers. [and per DGH a superstar helping on class newsletters printing and mailing, address lists, and website performance. Thanks Angela] The dates are September 28, 29, 30, 2018. The College budgets a lump sum for the 75th, 70th and 65th reunions. The two elder classes get full support and what is left over (estimated at $40,000) goes to support the 65th. We cover the rest and the cost has been set at $275 per person. Rooms and meals are a significant sum. The two elder classes are provided rooms at the Hanover Inn. It is estimated that there will be about 30 rooms available for the 65th. We think widows and handicapped should have first chance at these rooms and that those living locally should sleep at home to make more of these rooms available. Those not accommodated at the Inn will be lodged in the Marriott Inn with bus service to the Hanover Inn where most of our activities will take place. The Penn game will be available in the stadium or on the screen in the Inn. Whether in the afternoon or evening will be decided later based on whether it is televised or not. There will be a Class Meeting, but not one a month later at Homecoming. Memorial Service will be Sunday morning in the Top of the Hop looking out over campus. For those interested: There will be a bus leaving Hanover mid-afternoon on Thursday for the new Moosilauke Ravine Lodge with a tour of the 6 new bunkhouses and the magnificent new Lodge, a reception, dinner at the Lodge and the bus ride back to Hanover. The first new bunkhouse was shepherded to completion by David Hooke ’84, son of our classmate, Dick Hooke. And David has been instrumental in every building since. There will be a reasonable cost for the bus rides, the reception and dinner. Thursday night’s lodging in Hanover is also an extra. For those REALLY interested: Join Lefty Leavens and me in an attempt to climb Moosilauke, leaving the Lodge Thursday at 8 am (we are slower than we used to be). There are three rooms in the Lodge for those who don’t like hunting for the privy in the middle of the night. Plenty of bunkhouse beds. Letters with more detailed information will be sent out by Angela in March. See you the last weekend of September. Put Classmates and Families News, In our last letter we reported that Bill Liebovitz and his wife passed away during the autumn, a huge loss to the Class and the New York community. Reese Schonfeld kindly sent us a note indicating that Bill’s son, Alex, is now a freshman at Dartmouth. We hope that the Hanover class community will welcome Bill to his dad’s ’53 functions and we will obtain the details on how Alex can be contacted. Alex represents three precedents at Dartmouth, Bill, Reese, and his aunt Ellen Bienstock. David Cost responded to our request for news that he had finished and illustrated a couple of poetry books, and also a short two page piece that may be called a “Dartmouth Murder Mystery” which we will publish in ensuing letters on receipt. Lois Schnell updated us on Emil’s condition that has required he be moved into a Memory Support unit close by their home in New Jersey. Emil will always be remembered as the driving full back on our Football team and his situation is not rare in our class or in our age group. Having some of those symptoms myself. Lois and Emil moved back from Florida 3 years ago after 23 years in our Sunshine State, and their family is close by in New Jersey and Connecticut. The Class is here for you Lois if we can help in any way. Bruce Sherman, Octogenarian Ski Master Supreme, came up with a neat idea for Christmas Newsletter inputs from you. In addition to your news and views, AltaBruce suggests we respond to the question. ”What I Have Learned From LIFE?” His entry is as follow: ”The World is an Insane asylum and we are all the inmates! My alternate is “Happiness is 12 to 15 inches of fresh untracked Utah powder. “Take your pick. Before we get into other responses however!!!, we just must celebrate the event and picture of the 1953 newsletter year!!!!!! Next page Picture and Story of the Edition from Rudi Haerle We all take such pride in our grandkids and now our great grandchildren, but Rudi’s family has just set the bar quite a bit higher, Here is Rudi holding his Triplett Great Grandchildren with the two year old looking a bit distraught from all the attention extended to the Triplets. Rudi and family have set a mark for preservation of the continuity and spirit of Dartmouth’s greatest class ever. That fabulous news prompted my creative self to say “Creative Self, How many descendants of 1953 are there in the present generation starting with grandkids, great grandkids, and, oh my gosh, great great grandkids. I knew my Great Grandmother Mary, one of the original immigrants from Ireland, who lived to be 106. She got me thinking about this as a kid. Send in your descendants count, grandkids and later and pictures too. This can be fun. And now getting back to Bruce’s question on What I Have Learned From LIFE?” Here is Al Krauss’ answer “OK, here's my "I" news, and it follows down below past your message per instructions. “News (in my ear) has a terminal aura, like "It’s over and done with". But, the "news" is, and I keep playing with words, confronting my years long accumulation of text files and assorted re- writes (printed out, of course). Meanwhile, the world of tweets and insta-posts, email attachments, etc. has left me breathing their exhaust while I sit at the starting gate. Hmmmm - anyone laughing? That's it, Dave, in - well, not quite a nutshell. I'll stop here while my brakes still work. NOTE: two archaic similes (is that what I just did? Don't misread "similes" as "smiles", even if I am - smiling, that is). Keep eating your spinach, everyone. Bob Simpson sent me a long response to my long letter talking about our time in the Marine Corps and the Navy, and here it is, and, please note Put and others planning the Reunion Program, that Bob has suggested we show Top Gun somewhere in our program, preferably in a bar so we can all sing along with Maverick and Goose on “You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling, ohowo that lovin’ feeling. “ Bob and I have exchanged emails for some time and these listed following are the most recent since Bob and Anne moved to PA to be closer to family. He has become a Harbour Ridge alumnus as have we, but he was there right from the beginning when John Dodge developed that fabulous place. Here goes, read and skip as you please. Here’s Bob! G’day Dave, Thanks for your email on John [Dodge]. I knew it was near but it is always sad when it truly happens. The last few years have not been good for John but he kept fighting. He sure left a great legacy at Harbour Ridge. We are very happy at our new home in PA. It was no doubt time to move on from HR.

  • Dartmouth College Tuck School of Business
    Dartmouth College Tuck School of Business RECRUITMENT AND SCHOLARSHIPS/FELLOWSHIPS What programs and initiatives has your school found successful in the recruitment of minority and/or female students? Achieving a diverse student body is critical in a globalized world where business demands that different voices, approaches and opinions are heard. The Tuck admissions office goes to great lengths to attract, select and matriculate a class of students to bring a variety of perspectives to the classroom and to student life. Our global business perspective means that we value differences—cultural, historical and social. Understanding the spectrum of experience and outlook is essential for leaders who will manage diverse work forces. Ensuring that everyone feels comfortable in the Tuck community accomplishes more than harmony; it improves the learning process. It is a critical component of our leadership development and it starts with the admissions process. The school competes at the highest levels on key factors that are important to all students, such as the talent and prestige of faculty, career opportunities for graduates and depth and breadth of curriculum. Yet Tuck also differs from other top business schools in important ways that reflect the values of diverse groups including our focus, personal scale, emphasis on group learning and teamwork and the extraordinary levels of involvement and support we receive from our alumni family. Each year, Tuck admissions undertakes a wide variety of initiatives to attract a diverse group of applicants and enroll a diverse class. These initiatives include mailings to women, minority and international prospective students; receptions and meetings around the world for prospective students; participation in the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management; the minority and alumnae mentor programs; inviting admitted students to conferences, alumni events and the admitted student weekend in April; and organizing faculty, students and alumni to contact admitted students.

  • When Victims Rule
    1 24 JEWISH INFLUENCE IN THE MASS MEDIA, Part II In 1985 Laurence Tisch, Chairman of the Board of New York University, former President of the Greater New York United Jewish Appeal, an active supporter of Israel, and a man of many other roles, started buying stock in the CBStelevision network through his company, the Loews Corporation. The Tisch family, worth an estimated 4 billion dollars, has major interests in hotels, an insurance company, Bulova, movie theatres, and Loliards, the nation's fourth largest tobacco company (Kent, Newport, True cigarettes). Brother Andrew Tisch has served as a Vice-President for the UJA-Federation, and as a member of the United Jewish Appeal national youth leadership cabinet, the American Jewish Committee, and the American Israel Political Action Committee, among other Jewish organizations. By September of 1986 Tisch's company owned 25% of the stock of CBS and he became the company's president. And Tisch -- now the most powerful man at CBS -- had strong feelings about television, Jews, and Israel. The CBS news department began to live in fear of being compromised by their boss -- overtly, or, more likely, by intimidation towards self-censorship -- concerning these issues. "There have been rumors in New York for years," says J. J. Goldberg, "that Tisch took over CBS in 1986 at least partly out of a desire to do something about media bias against Israel." [GOLDBERG, p. 297] The powerful President of a major American television network dare not publicize his own active bias in favor of another country, of course. That would look bad, going against the grain of the democratic traditions, free speech, and a presumed "fair" mass media.

  • Our Green Future: the Sustainability Road Map for Dartmouth
    OUR GREEN FUTURE: THE SUSTAINABILITY ROAD MAP FOR DARTMOUTH EXECUTIVE SUMMARY President Hanlon has called on Dartmouth to play a leadership role in improving global sustainability and overcoming the challenges of climate change. The Sustainability Task Force has been charged with developing plans supportive of this goal. Although Dartmouth has substantially reduced campus energy use and made other significant advances over the last decade, we lag our peer institutions with respect to commitments, actions, and reporting in the sustainability domain. The best available science indicates that, in order to limit temperature rise to 2 degrees centigrade, greenhouse gas emissions must be decreased by at least 80% by 2050. Our report recommends principles, standards, and commitments in the areas of energy, waste and materials, water, food, transportation, and landscape and ecology. Energy is the largest contributor to Dartmouth's greenhouse gas emissions and is also the area where prior analysis best positions us to take action. We believe that providing 50% of campus energy from renewable sources by 2025 and 100% by 2050 is feasible. For campus operations other than energy, we recommend timelines for data gathering and goal-setting. Looking beyond campus operations, Dartmouth has opportunities to maximize our impact by initiatives involving integration of sustainability into our curriculum, out-of-classroom activities and research and scholarship. We believe that the tension between fiscal and operational constraints and sustainability imperatives is healthy. This tension focuses the tradeoffs and allows us to determine how we might gain the most benefit possible per unit of spending. Open discourse and continuous fine-tuning of our goals will allow our investments to produce the greatest possible impact, and enable us to build a model that can be sustained and replicated.

The authors thank Marnik Dekimpe, Amit Joshi, Donald Lehmann, Natalie Mizik and Shijin Yoo for comments and Dennis Bender and Jorge Silva-Risso for providing the data used in the empirical analysis. Performance Regimes and Marketing Policy Shifts Abstract Year after year, managers in mature markets strive to improve their performance. When successful, they can expect to continue executing on an established marketing strategy. However, when the results are disappointing, a change or turnaround strategy may be called for in order to help performance get back on track. In such case, performance diagnostics are needed to identify turnarounds and to quantify the role of marketing actions in this process. This paper introduces rolling-window tests and performance barometers to analyze how strategic windows of performance growth and decline alternate with long periods of performance stability. Applying this framework to a rich marketing dataset, the authors identify and interpret transitions between stable and trending performance regimes, and assess marketing's power to induce performance turnaround. The empirical analysis shows that, even in mature markets, performance stability is not the only business scenario.

Lasher ’88, and will serve as a member of Advancement’s senior leadership team. He/she will manage a team of 35 professionals in the division of Alumni Relations and support a volunteer organization of more than 500 leaders. ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY: Dartmouth seeks a new Vice President for Alumni Relations to guide one of the most vital and successful alumni programs in higher education, inspiring community among 80,000 alumni around the world. The Vice President will provide strategic vision and direction for alumni communications, engagement, programming, and volunteer leadership in service to the College and its global alumni networks.

  • Dartmouth's Community Impact
    Dartmouth’s Community Impact September 2018 Introduction: Dartmouth College educates the most promising students and prepares them for a lifetime of learning and of responsible leadership, through a faculty dedicated to teaching and the creation of knowledge. In fulfilling its mission as an educational institution, Dartmouth strives to serve its students as well as the Upper Valley community through its role as an employer, collaborator, and innovator. This report illustrates the symbiotic relationship between Dartmouth, Hanover, and the Upper Valley in areas including economic impact, research and innovation, education, arts and culture, sustainability and conservation. Economic impact: Dartmouth has a substantial financial impact on the local, regional, and state economies of New Hampshire and Vermont. Taxes & Fees: Dartmouth pays taxes on all dormitories, dining rooms, and kitchens with values in excess of $150K, as well as about 500 off-campus rental properties and commercial properties (approximately 53% of its Hanover property holdings). Dartmouth is Hanover’s largest taxpayer, contributing roughly 20% of the taxes in support of the county, town, and school budgets. Employment: Dartmouth is New Hampshire’s ninth largest service sector employer with 3,497 resident employees (Dartmouth Hitchcock is the largest employer with 9,100 employees)1. In FY17 Dartmouth paid $464M in payroll and employee benefits. Dartmouth is also a large local spender. According to an analysis of purchasing data, Dartmouth spent about $146M in New Hampshire and Vermont in FY172. Dartmouth’s economic impact extends beyond its direct actions as a local spender and employer. Dartmouth’s 4,300 undergraduate and 2,000 graduate students make up a significant portion of Hanover’s total population and, as residents and consumers, play a critical role in the local economy.

  • Collins Corner
    . Collins Corner The Holidays are but a few days behind us and off we go to 2016! Believe it or not, that makes it 67 years ago when we all first gathered for our freshman experience in 1949. We are still gathering and enjoying each other’s company whenever we can. Many of us enjoyed a wonderful Homecoming celebration last fall and then two gala Christmas luncheons in December. Thanks to Harlan Fair and Put Blodgett, our new mini- reunion chairs, a group of us celebrated on December 8th at Kendall in Hanover. Names and pictures of many in attendance are elsewhere in this Newsletter. Two days later another cohort of ‘53’s, spouses and widows gathered in New York City at the Yale club for that annual festive event. Cathy Callender put that event together and Bob Malin organized the event. More details and attendees also noted in this epistle. I was fortunate to be able to attend both events and, as always, it was great to catch up with some old friends whose paths we cross too seldom. Should be about the same time frame in 2016, so if you can manage to attend one of these annual festive events I know you would be pleased. The Big Green football team walked off with a three-way tie for the Ivy League Title. Your editor has covered the details herein, but it is a delight to have the team back on top once again. It has been a few years. Proposed Mini-Maxi Reunion Fall 2016: And the beat goes on.
