News From, and About, the College

“The best-laid plans . . . .” The College has begun work on a new master plan for the next 20 years. Bill Sjogren sent us a link for the story: https://www.dartmouth.edu/~master- plan/?fbclid=IwAR1BgBn5m7_XW4gsqkBC5rW_H2ZR40B3hqfaPlgyBaT3b4meliSrD617RDk. For a student take on the project, go to https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/03/dartmouth-master-plan.

The Hood (continued). Boston’s WGBY (PBS) television station devoted about 6 minutes to the New Hood in its “Open Studio with Jared Brown” show on March 29. You can see it here, and get a glimpse of the 67 Gal- lery along the way: https://www.wgbh.org/news/arts/2019/04/04/arts-this-week-a-bronx-tale-and-the-new-hoodmuseum-of-art. You can also see a (very) short video showing the process of setting up the 67 Gallery’s first exhibit here: https://www.facebook.com/HoodMuseum/videos/424048175014065/. In an article about college museums, “Raising the Cultural Bar on Campuses,” The New York Times men- tioned the Hood and, notably, the nearly 7,000 objects in the museum’s Native American holdings: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/12/arts/college-university-museums.html

Woodsmoke. Continuing its commitment to sustainability, Dartmouth plans to build a new, $200 million biomass heating plant, operating not on oil but on “sustainably sourced waste-wood material from forestry and timber industries.” The project will be “financed, built, and operated by a private company in partnership with Dartmouth.” Here’s more: https://news.dartmouth.edu/news/2019/01/new-biomass-plant-will-increase-dartmouths-sustainability. And speaking of what to burn, the Dartmouth Outing Club has published another outstanding issue of its occasional magazine, Woodsmoke. You can see it, and/or download it, here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/195BjitWyYjHrrTbWKXQ-nojqH2WuaENA/view.

From the Department of Transparency . . . Dartmouth, apparently not under audit, has published its tax returns. A student article gives highlights, including information on executive salaries, at https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/05/dartmouths-tax-returns-show-high-exec-salaries-overseas-investments.

Town and . . . um . . . gown? ΣAE’s long-running legal conflict with the Town of Hanover lives to fight another day. In late March, the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled against ΣAE on most of the issues, but ordered the Town to determine whether the fraternity qualifies as an “institution.” See https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/04/nh-supreme-court-rules-against-sae-legal-limbo-continues.

“Know thyself.” Faculty and administrators serving on the College’s reaccreditation implementation group have completed a draft of Dartmouth’s “Institutional Self-Study Report.” The report reflects on how well Dart- mouth currently meets the standards for accreditation, and makes suggestions for improvement. You can view the 100+-page report at https://www.dartmouth.edu/~reaccreditation/pdf/neche_self_study_apr2019.pdf.

“It is, Sir, as I have said, a small college . . .” As part of the 250th anniversary celebration, the College staged a reenactment of the famed Dartmouth College Case (Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 17 U.S. (4 Wheat.) 518 (1819)). Dartmouth won again. You can watch the full reenactment at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75zOxP8AzZg&t=5s. Or for a Cliff-Notes approach, watch Tom Burack ’82 portray Daniel Webster giving his famous peroration to the U.S. Supreme Court: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ24NE6MBz8&fea- “. . . and yet there are those who love it!” ture=youtu.be&utm_me- dium=app_email&utm_source=lp_app&utm_source=task_activ- ity&fbclid=IwAR3_F6_t1BJq1ZPwJqse_eYguV8RNx_f0Ry2ka8-Dskv8KwU2P-fpWdvkfw.

That lawsuit (continued) and related matters. In April, President Phil Hanlon addressed a summit at the Naval Academy on sexual assault and sexual harassment at America’s colleges, universities, and service academies. At the conference, Dartmouth was held up as a model for how an institution can take action to make its campus safer and more inclusive for all. See https://news.dartmouth.edu/news/2019/04/president-hanlon-ad- dresses-national-summit-sexual-misconduct?utm_source=Dartmouth+News+Today&utm_cam- paign=e950139f6b-dartnews_today_2019_04_11&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_4ae973c30b- e950139f6b-391679741. At the beginning of May, two more former students of the Psychology and Brain Science (PBS) department joined the sexual misconduct lawsuit against Dartmouth. Some of the plaintiffs have used pseudonyms in court filings, and the College has sought a court ruling requiring identification of the parties.

On May 3, the Student and Presidential Committee on Sexual Assault sent President Hanlon a letter that criticized the College’s response to allegations of sexual misconduct by professors in the PBS department. The letter calls for receivership and reinvestigation of the department. See https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/05/hanlon-responds-to-concerns-raised-about-pbs-department. The Concord Monitor reported on May 28 that the two sides have moved to stay the court proceedings while they attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation: https://www.concordmonitor.com/Dartmouth- women-want-mediation-in-sexual-misconduct-lawsuit-25862792.

Other College News

From the Department of Awesome Statistics:

 Dartmouth has been recognized for being a top producer of Fulbright scholars. The State Department reports that 13 Dartmouth students earned the honor for the 2018-19 year. See https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/03/dartmouth-named-top-producer-of-fulbright-students.  Eighteen Dartmouth sports teams recently received Academic Progress Rate Public Recognition Awards—meaning that the College once again is a national leader in academic success from its athletes. See https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/05/mcgovern-mott-19s-athletes-academics.  The Peace Corps has announced that Dartmouth Ranks Among the Highest Peace Corps Volunteer- Producing Schools―sixth among “small schools”―with more than 640 alums serving since the program was started in 1961. See https://alumni.dartmouth.edu/content/dartmouth-ranks-among-highest- peace-corps-volunteer-producing-schools?utm_source=Dartmouth+News+Weekly&utm_cam- paign=3191a18422-dartnews_weekly_2019_03_28&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0b7afd736b- 3191a18422-391544929.

No “Varsity Greens,” apparently. Just before this year’s admissions decisions were announced, national attention was focused on the “Varsity Blues” college admission scandals at other colleges, in which faux athletes from wealthy families were allegedly welcomed into elite institutions after payment of bribes. The Daily D covered the story at http://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/03/cano-privilege-and-progress-admissions- scandal-reactions. There is no sign of any such problem at Dartmouth. Nevertheless, the College has announced a new admissions protocol for athletic recruits: https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/04/college-to-alter-admissions- practice. A Daily D op-ed argued that, with one in five Dartmouth students engaged in athletics, “athletes should not have a special pipeline to admission.” See https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/04/khan-ad- mitting-our-athletes.

And speaking of admissions, Dartmouth offered acceptance to 7.9 percent of the applicants for the Class of 2023—an historic low, and a decrease of 0.8 percent from last year. The Dartmouth reported the results at http://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/03/dartmouth-admits-record-low-7-9-percent-of-applicants-to-classof-2023. The acceptance rate has decreased for three years in a row. A record-high class of 23,650 applicants boiled down to 1,876 admissions. A record 16 percent of the admitted class of 1,876 prospective students are first-generation college students. Ninety-two of the accepted students matched with Dartmouth through Quest- Bridge, a program that helps low-income students find post-secondary educational opportunities. Fifty-one percent of the admitted U.S. citizens self-designate as people of color. About 40 percent of the new students come from low or middle-income families, which the Office of Ad- missions defines as a household with less than $200,000 in annual income. On May 18, CNBC published an article titled, “It costs $76,623 to go to Dartmouth—here’s how much students actually pay.” You can read it at https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/17/it-costs-76623-to-go-to-dartmouth--heres-how-much-students-pay.html,

or skip to the answer: under Dartmouth’s “need-blind” admissions regime, students from families with income under $100,000 get free tuition, and the average scholarship is $47,833, which cuts the cost to about $28,800.

What makes the difference between paying that $76,623 sticker price and paying what the family can afford? In large part, YOU make the difference. In honor of the College’s 250th anniversary, the “250 for Dartmouth’s 250” initiative calls for alumni to donate a total of 250 endowed scholarships to students in need of financial aid by the end of the year. See https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/02/250-new-scholarships, and note Head DCF Agent Joe Alviani’s invitation on page 22.

Recent 67 Gatherings

36th Annual Boston Dinner, February 2

Larry Langford reported: “One of the great natural events every new year is the emergence of 67s from their ice caves and beach huts to raise a glass together. On February 2nd, the well-attended 36th annual Boston Dinner, held at the Wellesley College Club, included Curt and Susanne Anderson, Wayne Beyer, Larry and Sharleen Bowen, Steve and Maureen Cheheyl, John Feltner, Mike and Eileen Gfroerer, Ed and Becky Gray, Chuck Hobbie, Ed and Pris Kern, Eric Kinter, John Kornet, Bill and Jenny Lamb, Larry and Candy Langford, Dave and Mobby Larson, Drew Ley and Carol Searle, John and Susan Manaras, Sam and Judy Ostrow, Jim and Ann Paull, Tom and Carol Pyles, Jim Rooks, Lee Sillin, Bob and Shari Thurer, Mike and Susan Tucker, Bill and Susie White, Jeff and Amy Zimmerman.” Larry produced a song book for the event, and “Curt Anderson’s keyboard led all in song with a medley of Dart- mouth favorites, plus three tunes in honor of Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper [who died 60 years ago the next day, Feb. 3, 1959, ‘The Day the Music Died’].”

CarniVAIL 2019, in Vail, Colorado, February 22-24

John Lobitz reports: “A great CarniVAIL weekend! Once again, we had a good turnout of 67s that included Jack Brock, Steve and Maureen Cheheyl and their daughter Juliet, Dean Ericson, Ed and Pris Kern, John and Rosanne Lo- bitz, John and Jan Meck, Sandy Wilson and his cousin Nancy Holyoke, and George Wood. Again this year, we were one of the best-represented classes at CarniVAIL, duking it out with the ’71s. “We started out Thursday night with our traditional kickoff get-together at the Minturn Saloon, a great local dive, where we had seventeen classmates, spouses and friends. I’m told that we consumed several pitchers of Margaritas, and we had a great time catching up with everyone.

“Friday brought great skiing together. There was a ski race for all classes, but 67 stalwarts Lobitz and Meck bowed out this year because of old knees, though they seemed to work fine on the slopes. After skiing there was an all-class cocktail party, followed by our “67s and Friends” dinner that Dean Ericson arranged for us at Pepi’s, one of the oldest restaurants in Vail. Another opportunity for great food, drink and conversations. “On Saturday morning, on a cloudless, bluebird day, John and Rosanne Lobitz, John Meck, and Steve and Maureen Cheheyl and their daughter, Juliet, skied first tracks before the lifts opened to the public, followed by a great brunch on the mountain at the Game Creek Club along with a number of other Dartmouth people. Everyone at CarniVAIL who attended the brunch have Steve Cheheyl to thank for arranging this. “In summary, a great time was had by all. Those who were there this year, and those who have attended in the past, can attest to the fact that CarniVAIL is a great event. We are always looking for new people for next year, and you can contact me at [email protected] if you are interested. “By the way, when I was at CarniVail, at the all-class cocktail party, I was approached by Steve Johnson, who was in the Class of ’71. He said that, when he was applying to Dartmouth, he was sent a brochure about the Dartmouth ski team. For some reason his mother had kept it, and recently Steve got it back and gave it to me. It is a four-page flyer about the 1967 ski team. On the cover are pictures of the four seniors on the team, Ned Gil- lette, John Meck, Jim Speck and myself. On the other three pages are info and stats from the 1966-67 season. There is also a picture of the entire squad that in addition to Gillette, Meck, Speck and me included our classmate David “Okie” O’Conner, who was the team manager.”

Annual Washington, D.C., Mini-Reunion, March 22-23

Bob Burka reports: “The more or less annual 67 DC mini-reunion was held in expanded format on March 22nd and March 23rd, a function of Ed and Becky Gray’s inclusion of a private tour of the FBI for participating class members, in addition to the traditional Saturday night dinner. “The private FBI tour was arranged by Ed and Becky’s son, who is a civilian contractor with the Bureau. The tour, limited to public presentations about the Bureau’s work, lasted just short of two hours on Friday 7

(March 22nd), followed by lunch at a nearby restaurant. Also participating were Ed and Becky Gray’s son and Jennifer Hardy from the College’s Development Office. Very illuminating, and of course, very personal to Ed and Becky, not only because of their son’s connection to the Bureau, but also because of the role of Ed’s father as its Acting Director after we graduated from the College.

The FBI explorers: Bill Bogardus, Hal Cash, John Isaacs, Ed Gray, Becky Gray, Bob Burka, Chuck Hobbie, Young Hobbie, Sandy Kugler, and Rob Kugler

“The traditional Saturday evening dinner was held at a local restaurant. Attending were Tom Brudenell and Lynn Sibley, Bill Bogardus and Hal Cash, Bob Burka, Betsy and Bob Davidson, Bruce Chasan and Bar- bara Stratton, Becky and Ed Gray, Young and Chuck Hobbie, Amy and John Isaacs, Sandy and Rob Ku- gler, Larry Leiken, Tony Newkirk, Teddy and Bill Reynolds, and John Rhead and Marilyn Clark. Also attending was Jennifer Hardy from the College. This year we had one of the largest showings of out-of-towners. “After an enjoyable dinner, as has been traditional for this group, many discussed what is occurring in their lives. Most had retired, more or less, and embarked on the next phase―not “working,” but still getting paid! Comments by attendees were relatively short because of background noise. “Chuck Hobbie has retired for the second time, this time from a stint with the General Counsel’s office of the Peace Corps. Chuck served in the Peace Corps in Korea in the late 1960s and early ’70s, as well as at Wash- ington headquarters while he attended law school. He commented on his book about his undergraduate years, Days of Splendor, Hours Like Dreams. He and his wife Young are enjoying retirement, travel and family. “We were told by Bob Davidson that he, too, is retired from federal government service and is spending time with the Dartmouth Partners for Community Service (DPCS) Center for Social Impact. In that capacity, he is helping to mentor 20 Dartmouth graduates in public service positions with various non-profits. He commented that he continues to look for additional mentors, and the program―now ongoing through the Washing- ton and New York City Dartmouth Clubs―hopes to build a larger, national footprint. “We also heard from John Rhead, who noted that he has now been with Marilyn for three years, and, equally importantly, has a three-year old granddaughter. He has now limited his clinical psychology practice and otherwise cut back.

“Tony Newkirk reported that he continues to work on urban transportation solutions, with an emphasis on local transport pods on dedicated guideways, as an alternative to services like Uber and Lyft. Similar local transportation pod systems are being experimented with in London, Italy, and South Korea.

“And good news from Bill Bogardus, who noted that Hal Cash and he were celebrating their second wedding anniversary. He is currently on the College’s Alumni Council, retired with two grandchildren. “We were told by Tom Brudenell that, in retirement, he is volunteering as a Spanish teacher at the Mary- land State correctional facility in Hagerstown. “Bill Reynolds reported that he retired from the University of Maryland Law School faculty four years ago, and his wife Teddy is also retired. He continues to do volunteer work at the law school, and they are enjoying lots of travel in retirement. “Not quite yet fully retired is John Isaacs, still working for the Council for a Livable World and Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation. He works roughly half-time, all day on Wednesdays and half-day the rest of the week. John has promised in the past that he will fully retire when the world is free of nuclear arms. “Also still working is Bruce Chasan, who opened his solo law practice a few years ago to specialize in in- tellectual property, especially patent, issues. As he noted, like many small businesses and professionals, he has had some good years and, unfortunately, some bad ones. “Rob Kugler reported that he is retired from his law firm and law practice as such but is still doing volunteer legal work for the National Cancer Society. “Lastly, Bob Burka noted that he took ‘retired partner’ status in his law firm some years ago, but he still practices on a part-time basis on pro bono matters, including being general counsel to a non-profit theater com- plex in Northeast Washington and representing a federal employee whistleblower. After a slow start, Bob and his wife now have two grandchildren, with a third due in June, such that they will be going from zero to three in nine months. They are attempting to provide unlimited free babysitting for all three grandkids, two of whom are in the Washington area. “Sam Ostrow then gave the group a report on the state of the class, this year by speaker phone since he was getting ready for a family trip to Europe.”

Classmate News

Kathie and Bob Hession are now retired from their pediatrics practices and living in Pittsford, Vermont, where they raise sheep, boil maple syrup, garden, and enjoy traveling to Spanish-speaking countries. In the win- ter of 2017-2018, while attending Spanish language school in Salamanca, Spain, they walked on portions of El Camino Francés, Via de la Plata, and El Norte. Inspired by their experiences of the people, the food, the history, the culture, and the physical challenge, they returned last fall to walk 500 miles on the Camino Francés from St. Jean Pied de Port, a small village on the French-Spanish border, to Santiago de Compostela. They stayed in al- bergues, which, they say, offer better services than 5-star hotels in some respects. While hiking, they maintained a blog for pictures and written impressions. It’s at https://caminokabob.wordpress.com/, and it’s fascinating.

One of their interesting discoveries concerns the “Mediterranean diet.” Bob writes, “We stumbled upon a second story bar that reminded me of a legion hall in the U.S. The room was crammed with locals of multi gen- erations. The noise was cacophonous, and all had various drinks. We were the only ones who wanted to eat. Within ten minutes, the hall was empty except for Kathie and me. The owner explained that all the people had left to eat at home with their families, and that they would all be back again in two hours for more coffee and drinks. In Spain, the period between 2 and 4 PM is family time. Grandparents, parents, and children eat their largest meal of the day together. Stores are closed, schools close, and all work stops. It is not a ‘siesta’ time as Americans think. No one sleeps. It is ‘family’ time. I was reminded of what our Spanish language instructor in Salamanca had said to us: The Mediterranean diet was not a diet at all, but a way of life. Attributing the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet to food alone misses the importance of time together with one’s family.”

Larry Langford continues to do a great job with the Class website (http://1967.dartmouth.org). There’s all kinds of stuff there that isn’t in the Newsletter, including an account of how our Classmate Pete Golenbock wound up writing the Casey Anthony murder story, and a list of assigned reading being compiled by the “67 book club.”

John Bash is now the president of the Dartmouth Club of Sarasota.

Pete Tropp checked in from Hourglass Farm in Lothian, Maryland (south of Annapolis). He has “a farm with six horses, two donkeys, eight alpacas, and two llamas. Visitors (esp. horse lovers) welcome!” Pete’s phone number is 240-495-5807.

Steve Ayres reported as follows from Stamford, CT:

“Last month, I went to a client’s funeral. Because she was a Navy veteran, I wore my own Navy uniform. Although it has a few more stripes (four) and service ribbons (13) on it, it is the same uniform I was issued in September 1963 when I joined NROTC at Dartmouth at barely age 18. Luckily, the Chief Petty Officer measuring us for uniforms had some experience, and said, ‘Kid, you’ve got to grow some, so we’ll make this a little big on you.’ He did, and I did, too. I plan to be cremated in that uniform, but no hurry. “I called Peter Modley last month on the occasion of his 50th wedding anniversary to Phyllis. They enjoy living on their mountaintop in Vermont. “Also spoke to Dave Lawrence recently. He and his spouse, Susan Fer- rara, have a large, blended family, and enjoy visiting with them, in addition to riding Susan’s horses in rural Maryland. “Next month I go on a bike tour with my brother Dave in Andalusia, Spain. A bit different than 40+ years of bicycle commuting to work, now only three times a week.”

[This guy is wicked thrifty! Not only does he still own―and fit into!―his original ROTC uniform, but he still has the “MultiMate” word processing software from his first computer, and still uses it. Just think of the time he’s saved by not learning new computer systems!]

Mark Ubelhart writes that he is the newly appointed chair of the Execu- tive Advisory Board at the Stuart School of Business, Illinois Institute of Technology, in Chicago. Mark earned an MBA from the University of Chi- cago in 1969, and led three business organizations to national prominence: Harris Bank Corporate Financial Services; Hewitt Associates Corporate Fi- nance/Executive Compensation Practice; and Hewitt Associates Human Capi- tal Foresight Practice. Along the way, Mark developed a metric called the Talent Quotient (TQ). TQ captures the relative loss of investment in “Pivotal Employees” versus others, based on their being in the top quartile of their companies’ percentage pay progression, adjusted for age and tenure. To this date, TQ is the only standardized human capital metric proven to be predictive of corporate financial performance, as detailed by Mark in a Wiley Finance Valuation Handbook and two of his published articles. Mark explains, “It is common sense that if a company loses the employees in whom it has been investing most heavily, it will hurt―but developing a standardized metric from cross-company and over-time data is something else again. “In some way, Dartmouth is responsible for this. Professor Colin Campbell Chaired the Economics Depart- ment when I was a student, and through his connection with Milton Friedman at the University of Chicago, he orchestrated a scholarship for me there. “The epilogue regarding human capital and its relevance to corporate financial performance and investment management is happening now. On March 28, 2019, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the U.S. issued its recommendation that companies disclose more information on human capital. This is in response to a petition by the Human Capital Management Coalition of institutional investors holding $2.8 trillion in as- sets. HCMC asked me to write to the SEC in support of its petition, which I did. “In addition, this last December the International Standards Organization issued its ISO initial reporting standards for human capital. Thus, human capital is gaining momentum as a corporate and investment management governance issue. “The Center for Advancing Corporate Performance that I chair was founded by a prominent academic and a prominent businessman, both educated at Harvard, to bridge the gap between business executives and academics, anchored to rigorous research.” 11

Mark’s spouse Sandy is an RN and works as a school nurse. They have three children and three grandchildren, the youngest of whom graduated from high school in May. Mark is reachable at mark@ubelhart-consult- ing.com.

Roy Kinsey is a trial lawyer in Pensacola, Fla., and a leader of Veterans Flight, a nonprofit organization (https://www.veteransflight.org/) created to honor veteran military fliers. They hold annual events at the Pen- sacola Beach Air Show, and invite interested veterans to fly with them in vintage Stearman biplanes of the type in which many of the veterans learned to fly during WWII. Roy is the owner and pilot of Stearman #708. You can see a video of Roy flying with World War II veteran (and Dartmouth ’41 alum) Ashley Pace, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3Wc_b9xdr8. More videos of the group’s activities are linked to their website. Both Veterans Flight and the law are family affairs for the Kinseys. Roy’s wife, Pat, is the Veterans Flight Ground Ops Chief―and the senior (and first female) County Judge in Escambia County. Daughter Jennie is the Flight Line Chief―and is now in her first term as a Circuit Judge in the 1st Judicial Circuit. Roy observes that, “When both your wife and daughter have contempt power, you have to be on your best behavior!” The Veterans Flight website also discloses something Roy didn’t initially tell Your Editor about: he was the 2019 recipient of the Community Leader of the Year award from the Pensacola Chamber of Commerce! This was an unusual honor for a trial lawyer, and Roy hopes the local Chamber won’t have its charter revoked! Congratu- lations to Roy and to Veterans Flight!

As a personal project, Phil Curtis has met with 35 of the 72 living recipients of the Medal of Honor, and has corresponded with 15 others. Thus he was the perfect person to deliver the keynote address, titled “The Medal of Honor, from Antietam to Afghanistan,” at the General Court of the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Georgia, which was held at (appropriately) at The Oglethorpe Club in Savannah. “The regalia on the tux pictured in the Oglethorpe Club is emblematic of my role as Deputy Lt. Governor of the Society of Colonial Wars, surrounded by our Color Guard. The other miniature medals reign from other lineage organizations and societies to which I belong, dating back to Charlemagne.” Phil reminisced that, while attending Harvard Law School, he was in the last class of Army officers commissioned through Harvard’s formal ROTC before the program became an extra-curricular activity. His research shows that more Medal of Honor recipients went to Harvard than to any other college, but Dartmouth is in the top ten. Phil is also active with the Society of St. Andrews of Savannah, “founded in 1737, of which I am a non-resi- dent member courtesy of the MacAlpin Clan, courtesy of the 1st King of the Scots, Kenneth MacAlpin, in the 9th century. King Kenneth was famed for successfully waging war against the Vikings (no mean feat!).” [Fighting Vikings might call for a wee dram to get in the right frame o’ mind.] 12

Phil is a Past President of the Dartmouth Club of Georgia, is still active as a partner with the Atlanta-based national executive search firm of Olmstead, Lynch & Curtis, LLC, and is always eager to hear from classmates.

A note from Joe Simeone: “At our current age of 73ish, I have part-time and full time jobs. My part-timer (3 days/week) is as an abdominal radiologist at MGH in Boston. It involves reading plain x-ray, barium studies, ultrasound, and PET/CT/MRI scans, mostly on patients with abdominal pain and cancer patients with tumors between the diaphragms and the lower pelvis. Too much info? Maybe. Sorry. Anyway, it’s really a lot of fun, highly rewarding, and something I hope I can keep doing until . . . whenever. Since the job is in a teaching hospital, it’s a joy to be surrounded by brilliant med students, residents, and fellows who greatly enhance the experience. “My full-time job is as a babysitter/helper/driver/coach/spectator for my 6 grandchildren. Four of them are within 8 miles of my house, and I get to see them almost every day. Two of them are in White River Junction, which allows me to be in Hanover at least every other weekend. “Last weekend I took the 9- and 12-year-old WRJ kids to the Hood Museum. From the perspective of someone who knows nothing about art, doesn’t really care about art, and would rather be at a baseball stadium, I can truly say the trip was wonderful. I didnt know what I was looking at, but the ambiance was warm and inviting, and I took great pride showing the grand-kids the Class of 1967’s contribution to the new building!” Joe

Mike Seely writes, “I wanted our other classmates to know of some late recognition of Bill Smoyer and Duncan Sleigh. First, some background. . . . “A good friend of mine, Fred Grimm, served in Vietnam at the same time as our friends. Severely wounded, he returned 20 years later to the site where he might well have perished. Noting they needed a medical clinic, he started one. Thereafter he got his local Toledo, Ohio, Rotary Club involved, and that ulti- mately became The Dove Fund, which has in the 20 years since started dozens of clinics and schools, and performed all manner of other good deeds. They care for the disabled, provide scholarships, support long- term care facilities for lepers, provide light and sanitary facilities to the indigent etc.―all too numerous to mention, and all in the poorest parts of the country (which is where most of the worst fighting occurred a half-century ago). 13

“Fred goes over every year to ‘circuit ride’ these projects at his own expense (only 2% of funds go to administration). He invites others to join him as my wife and I did almost two years ago. It’s a wonderful trip, combining project/school/etc. visits with the usual tourist venues (and at remarkably low cost). He especially likes to host Vietnam veterans, for whom this trip is almost invariably a cathartic and healing experience. (Virtually all vets, I’m told, suffer from some degree of PTSD.) “Thus, my wife and I were happy to contribute to enlarging a school in Cong Trinh, just outside Hue, both the site of fierce fighting during the war. Joined by our friend Els Walker, this addition added facilities that enable another 60 kids to get an education in much-improved facilities. The pictures show the school and the dedication to Duncan and Bill that is mounted on the school entrance. They’ve been gone a while, but they are not forgotten.

“Our friend Fred would welcome any classmates who would like to join his annual pilgrimage, and I can’t recommend this trip too highly. And I urge other 67s to consider a modest donation to DOVE (www.dovefund.org). It will be money well spent.”

In May Bruce Pacht observed the 50th anniversary of the Parkhurst Hall occupation, in which he played a part: “I spent the weekend with nearly 50 folks who practiced non-violent civil disobedience in 1969 by occu- pying Dartmouth’s administration building for 12 hours, and paid for it with 30 days in jail and a $100 fine. Sponsored by the College’s MALS program, we met with professors in the theatre department working on a short production relative to the Parkhurst occupation, and three student activists doing their best to maintain rights on campus for LGBTQI students and undocumented immigrants, and the effort to focus minds on the largest challenge of this generation: climate change. What a pleasure to see how my colleagues have used their time on the planet to teach, to coach, to create environmentally-responsible products, to counsel, and to organize for the rights of others! Brothers and sisters: I salute you! Let’s continue the struggle!!” Bruce also shared on Facebook a remarkable post by Dean Emeritus Thad Seymour on his reconciliation with David Green ’71, one of the students who evicted him (along with John Sloan Dickey, Al Dickerson, and others) from Parkhurst back in the day. It’s hard to see it on the page, but it’s worth reading, and you can read it easily at https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156315451066505&set=a.394833521504&type=3&theater. Thad’s compassion and generosity come through loud and clear. On Friday, June 7, Dartmouth’s theater department presented the production on which Bruce and others met: an original 20-minute documentary drama, based on archival materials, depicting the Parkhurst occupation. It was described by the chair of the department as “A celebration of activists at Dartmouth.” Bruce gave the Dartmouth Vietnam Project a substantial oral history interview about the Parkhurst occupation and what followed. It’s at https://www.dartmouth.edu/~dvp/browse.html#Interviews%20K-P. 14

Green Juice!

Ed Kern, who spearheaded the Class’s effort to build the 67 Bunkhouse at Moosilauke, sent the results of solar power generation from the building to date. The chart below illustrates both Ed’s forecast (the light green area that looks a bit like Mt. Moosilauke) and the actual 2018 generation (which looks more like the Alps, but is pretty darn close to the forecast). Ed writes, “Last reading in mid-late April, and probably now up to around 20,000 total kWh produced since Fall 2017 startup, savings about $4,000. Thanks for helping make this hap- pen.” Ed describes 67’s solar power as “green juice,” which should go well with the green eggs and ham at the Ravine Lodge. Thanks to Ed for all he has done on this project, and for its great results!

The Hill Winds Know Their Name

David William Sides

Dave at the foot bridge over the Dead Diamond River . . . and with his daughter Jessica

Dave Sides passed away on March 5, 2019 at Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis after a long and valiant struggle with ALS. Dave was born in Bridgeport, CT on August 3, 1944. His early years were spent in Trumbull, CT until his family moved to Canada when he was 10. His time living in the Town of Mount Royale, Quebec shaped his life and sparked his love of ice hockey, which he played with competitive zeal until the age of 70. He returned to the States at age 17, graduating from Roger Ludlow High School in Fairfield, CT in 1963. At Dartmouth he was an English major and a brother of ΓΔΧ. After graduation, Dave was commissioned a lieutenant in the U.S. Army. He served as an artillery instructor, forward observer, and battery commander of “A” Battery, 83rd Artillery Battalion. His unit supported the 101st Airborne and Marine infantry units engaged in ground operations near the DMZ. While serving at Firebase Ba- stogne, in the northernmost sector of Vietnam, he was twice awarded the Bronze Star for distinguished service. Dave’s account of his experiences in Vietnam, given in an interview with John Isaacs, was a major contribution to the Class’s reunion book, Living in a Time of Momentous Change. After his discharge from the Army, Dave entered the insurance industry, where he spent his entire career as an executive with several major insurers, but he often described his occupation as “fishing, with insurance as my hobby.” He was an enthusiastic and skilled fly fisherman and boat owner. The Bass River on Cape Cod was his favorite place, but he also enjoyed fishing trips to the Dartmouth College Grant. In 1975 Dave married Susan Hayes, the sister of our Classmate (and Dave’s college roommate) Woody Hayes. They shared 33 years of marriage before she passed away in 2008. Dave is survived by his cherished daughter Jessica Sides, of St. George, Utah, who traveled to the east coast frequently to her father’s side as his illness progressed. He is also survived by his beloved partner Marie Anderson, of West Yarmouth. Dave and Marie shared many travels and adventures before he fell ill, and she cared for him tirelessly during his illness.

Dave’s brother Tom Sides wrote,

Dave had an enduring love of Dartmouth. He loved returning to Hanover to participate in alumni hockey games. He never let me forget that when I was playing varsity hockey for Bowdoin, during his senior year in Hanover and my junior year in Brunswick, that Dartmouth got the 3 -1 win over Bowdoin in the 66-67 season. 16

Some of you may remember the German shepherd pup (Tim) that Dave had on campus early in his time at Dartmouth. It took almost a full year before campus officials discovered that the forbidden canine be- longed to my brother. Dave was distraught that they banned Tim from campus, so he decided to impose on me to take Tim under my wing at the ΘΔΧ (TD) house at Bowdoin. That lasted for about 6 months, as Tim had gone decidedly crazy after almost a year and a half on two college campuses, and we needed to send him to a more tranquil setting with our relatives in White River Junction, Vt., for the rest of his years. The Dartmouth College Grant was a big part of my brother’s life. He loved to host friends, family and professional colleagues at one of the cabins there. I attended once, and it was clearly a domain that Dave cherished and loved to showcase. As Dave was the consummate skilled fisherman, the days were spent an- gling for trophy fish (always catch and release), and the evenings sharing good food, stories, games, and beverages of choice (Dave’s was generally a Manhattan). Dave was looking forward to attending his 50th reunion, but unfortunately his ALS took control and he spent that week in Cape Cod Hospital. That really distressed him, as he was looking forward to spending time with his 67 classmates, albeit in a wheelchair.

______

Dave’s passing led to a rush of remembrances from Classmates.

Beirne Lovely: “A sad day for us all. Dave’s participation in our 50th was a highlight for me, and he will be greatly missed. Thank God for his productive life and his service to our country. May he Rest in Peace.”

Joe Alviani: “God bless David for his service and his courage. Rest in Peace.”

Warren Cook: “I got to know him much better after he got sick and we connected on Vietnam as well as his love for Bill Smoyer. RIP Dave.”

Prof. Ed Miller (moderator of the Vietnam reunion session), wrote, “I only knew [Dave] from his participation in the 50th reunion, but I found his courageous participation and testimony about his Vietnam service to be incredibly moving and memorable.”

Class President Sam Ostrow remembered that Dave participated in the Vietnam Symposium at the 50th reunion from his hospital bed, via a link through a classmate’s mobile phone. “A measure of his courage and gal- lantry was that he paid to attend the reunion, and when he was told by his doctors he could not come, rather than ask for a refund, he asked that his money be used as a contribution to the reunion expenses. His fight against ALS was absolutely heroic. “In thinking about Dave, I picked up our 50th Reunion Yearbook and went to his entry, written after his fa- tal diagnosis: ‘For all the Good, and despite the Bad, I am at peace with myself. I live in the moment, right here right now and keep my heart open to what God will continue to bring me. I am at peace.’ “You can’t write it any better than that. Dave brought his life Safe Home.” ______

Services for Dave Sides will be held in Hampton, NH on August 2nd and 3rd, 2019. Visiting hours are scheduled from 6-8 P.M. Friday August 2, 2019 at the Remick & Gendron Funeral Home-Crematory, 811 Lafayette Road, Hampton, NH. A remembrance service is scheduled at 10 A.M. Saturday August 3, 2019 at 10:00 am at the First Congregational Church, 127 Winnacunnet Road, Hampton, NH, where Dave was a member of the choir until his move to West Yarmouth. Interment at Hampton Cemetery will follow the remembrance service. All services will be open to the public. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the ALS Association, P.O. Box 37022, Boone, IA 50037 or www.alsa.org. 17

Bruce Milward Smith, M.D.

Dr. Bruce Smith died peacefully at his home in Nashville on January 5, 2019. He is survived by his loving wife, Lisa Boyle, their two children, Lauren Van Husen and Joshua Smith; his first wife Louise Smith and their three children, Amory Dugan, Shepley Smith, and Susannah Warfield; his beloved five grandchildren, William Dugan, Jackson Dugan, Corinne Smith, Cutler Smith, Miles Warfield III; his brother Dan Smith, and his step- mother Judith Ciani Smith. Bruce was born on July 26, 1945 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Raised in Louisville, Kentucky, he attended Wag- goner High where he excelled both academically and athletically. At Dartmouth he was a member of ΣAE and the Dragon Society. He was captain of the baseball team as a star catcher, and a member of the undefeated Dart- mouth football team that took home the Ivy League Championship in 1965. Wynn Mabry met Bruce as a freshman. They became roommates, football teammates, ΣAE fraternity brothers, and successful premed majors. As Wynn recalls,

We both came from high academic and athletic success in our high school days and were both struggling in our freshman year to reinvent ourselves as we wallowed in performance mediocrity. Bruce had this amazing gritty determination to accept the challenges that lay ahead of him and never waver in his focus to master his personal frustration and anxiety about unmet goals or expectations. I was truly inspired by his tenac- ity as we both traveled parallel college courses. Bruce was the only freshman premed major I knew who was trying to play both college football and baseball—and I wondered if maybe he was trying to take on too much as a student athlete. By our sophomore year things were beginning to improve and he was gaining confidence that he could overcome his initial mediocre beginnings. During varsity football tryouts, Bruce showed that same gritty determination when competing for a defensive linebacker spot. Despite not being the biggest or fastest competitor, he impressed coaches with his physical and mental toughness and went on in his college football career to be an integral part of the 1965 and 1966 Ivy League Championship teams.

Bill Calhoun said, “I loved to read Bruce’s eyes, whether in a team huddle or around campus, eyes that were thinking keenly his thoughts with his Bruce smile, and fairly quickly expressing those thoughts boldly, passionately, at times fiercely. I loved our journey together.” Upon graduating from Dartmouth, Bruce attended Harvard Medical School. He completed his surgical resi- dency and training at Duke, which included a 2-year stint as a General Medical Officer in the Navy during the Vietnam War. Bill Kettyle added, “Bruce and I did not know each other well when we were undergraduates, but that changed in major ways as we worked together in medical school, hospital training and military service. 18

My wife, Cindy, and Bruce were cadaver dissecting partners―there is a bond that develops that is hugely poignant! The Mabrys, the Smiths and the Kettyles worked (very hard) and played together during our respec- tive residencies at Duke. Bruce and I were also in the Navy (his first hitch in the military) together―essentially running a small outpatient clinic.”

In 1980, Bruce moved his family to Nashville to accept a position on the faculty of Vanderbilt University. He remained at Vanderbilt for several years until entering into private practice at (then) Baptist Hospital. In 1989, Bruce joined the Air Force, practicing medicine and doing research at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, Calif. His time there included a post in England for a portion of the Gulf War, but culminated by meeting and marrying Lisa Boyle, who was also a surgeon at Travis. He retired from the Air Force in 1993 with the rank of Lt. Col. After the Air Force, Bruce moved to Washington D.C. to become the Chief of Vascular Surgery at the Washington Hospital Center, where he worked until his retirement in 2010. Bruce moved back to Nashville in 2015 to be closer to his children and grandchildren. He rekindled many of his close friendships here and was a member of Belle Meade Country Club. He was an accomplished boater, avid reader, and lover of music. He cherished his summers with his family in the Les Cheneaux Islands of Michigan. Bruce touched many lives over the years as teacher, doctor, coach, friend, brother, father and grandfather. He will be remembered for his incredible wit, strong opinions, wonderful sense of humor, and incredible loyalty to his family. He believed, as his father did, that every day was a bonus. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Jeffrey Ross Hills

Jeff Hills passed away on March 28, 2019, at age 73, at his home in Charleston, West Virginia. He leaves behind his beloved companion Nina Peyton, a daughter, two grandchildren, and two brothers, He was predeceased by Marion Smith Hills, his wife of 45 years, in 2014. Jeff was born in New London, Conn., and raised in Winchester, MA. He was a graduate of St. Mark’s School (’63), Dartmouth (degree received in ’69) and the Tuck School (’71). Jeff was also a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps, and often took the opportunity later in life to don his uniform and march in annual parades. Jeff met his future wife, Marion Smith, while he was at Dartmouth, and the two were married in December of 1969. An avid fly-fisherman, Jeff took a job with the Orvis Company upon graduation from Tuck, and he and Marion moved to Dorset, Vermont. They lived there for more than 40 years. Inspired by their shared love for tennis, Jeff and Marion founded a successful tennis-oriented mail order business called Hills’ Court. They later sold the company, and Jeff became a licensed stock-broker and worked in that area until his retirement. In the late 1970s Jeff’s love of fly-fishing lured him and Marion to Harbour Island in the Bahamas, and it became their favorite home away from home. Jeff was a beekeeper, gardener, dog lover, fly fisherman, duck hunter, and motorcycle enthusiast. He was a certified SCUBA diver and a licensed pilot. Without a doubt, Jeff Hills lived every day to the fullest. His per- sonality was larger than life and he will not soon be forgotten by the many who loved him. Ed Gray informed the Class of Jeff’s passing. He included the link to an article he wrote for the Dartmouth

Alumni Magazine in 1993 about fishing in the College Grant, in which Jeff and his wife Marion made appear- ances: http://archive.dartmouthalumnimagazine.com/issue/19930501?fbclid=IwAR0457guJen- VDM7kkcu0qf8SODx6cO8JSJWH6wY5p5M7Hr_OWz3stuXN6yo#!&pid=22. Ed wrote, “We’d been friends for 59 years. [The Alumni Magazine piece is] one of my all-time favorites. So was he. RIP, my old friend. The world just got a little less crazy.”

The May-June issue of the DAM has a nice article (online only) about Jay Evans ’49, who died last year at age 92. Jay interviewed many of us when we applied to Dartmouth. He was a renowned coach of the Ledyard Ca- noe Club, and helped to development an international- level U.S. whitewater sports team. See https://dartmouthalumnimagazine.com/articles/river-master. A substantial, less Dartmouth-centric, obituary appears at https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/concord- nh/robert-evans-7828704. You can read more about Jay’s whitewater career on the website of the International Whitewater Hall of Fame, http://iwhof.org/nomina- tions/2013-finalist-roster/robert-jay-evans-usa/.

Professor Jeffrey Hart ’51, who taught English literature while we were at Dartmouth, died on February 23. He had a significant second career outside of the classroom, in which he brought his Burkean philosophy to Ameri- can conservative politics and had a considerable impact. He wrote for the Na- tional Review for 40 years, and drafted speeches for both Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. The New York Times summarized him thus: “[He] taught at Dartmouth for 30 years, wrote books, and drafted speeches for presidents, was a defiant defender of the Western literary canon and a profusely creden- tialed but contrarian conservative.” https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/20/obituaries/jeffrey-hart- dead.html?fbclid=IwAR2BwDu1Ai2KB-4F7N-A9rFFnsCYWBrK- Fipb4H05RZjNxftslfpIugZ51M. The Washington Post dubbed him a “conservative stalwart who denounced the modern GOP.” https://www.washing- tonpost.com/local/obituaries/jeffrey-hart-conservative-stalwart-who-denounced-modern-day-gop-dies-at-88/2019/02/23/e42abb44-35ee-11e9-a400- e481bf264fdc_story.html?utm_term=.f1e342719eaf. Hart’s contrarian streak led him to vote for Barrack Obama in 2008, for reasons he explained in an election-eve op-ed article titled “Obama Is the Real Conservative.” See http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2008/10/31/obama-is-the-true-conservative.html. Hart was eulogized affectionately in The Dartmouth by two of the current Dartmouth College Republicans, who argued that Dartmouth should embrace Hart’s philosophy and legacy: “Requiescat in pace, Professor. The world is worse off without you in it.” https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/03/sivarajan-rauda-hart. The Rauner Library archives have an interesting 1997 oral history interview with Hart, which can be read at https://www.dartmouth.edu/~library/rauner/archives/oral_history/oh_interviews_pdf/Hart_Jeffrey.pdf.

67 Work with Community Service Programs

Mike Tucker reported on 67’s involvement with Dartmouth Partners in Community Service (DPCS): “DPCS will be having an unusually busy summer term―it has been tasked with supporting ‘cohort’ programs in Boston, Philadelphia and San Francisco, as well as individual interns in nine locations for the upcoming summer term. Each cohort brings Dartmouth students together in one house in each city for the summer, where they all intern at similar non-profits. “Boston’s focus is medical, San Francisco’s is not-for-profit based, and Philadelphia’s is poverty allevia- tion. Philadelphia is the newest cohort program, funded by an anonymous donation from an alum to support the program for one year in the hope that other alums will come forward to support it in the future. “The cohort program is particularly popular with Dartmouth students, and the competition for positions is very keen. The Boston cohort had 30 applicants for 8 places; San Francisco 50 for 10 spots; and Philadelphia 25 for 6 places. “If DPCS had more money, it could send more Dartmouth students out there. There is certainly the need in the community, and certainly the desire at Dartmouth. “The Class of 67 has three official representatives to DPCS: Howard Sharfstein, Bob Davidson, and Mike Tucker. Howard first brought DPCS to the attention of the class Executive Committee many years ago. His daughter Ann ’99 was a DPCS intern, and she served on the DPCS board for her class. Howard has also been an important voice in the Class for financial contributions to DPCS. “Bob also has been the Class voice in discussions of the new relationship between DPCS and the College’s Center for Social Impact. I try to join in every DPCS call-in meeting, and generally am the person who handles the communications between the class and DPCS.” Bob Davidson reported that he’s spending much of his time as the DC coordinator for a new Dartmouth Center for Social Impact program: “‘Bridges to Impact’ provides alumni mentoring and monthly seminars and networking events for 21 first- year-out Dartmouth grads pursuing ‘social impact’ careers. The Bridges program is separate from the venerable (and still thriving) DPCS undergraduate internships program which it also manages―with major alumni volunteer help and financial support, of course. “The new program is more sustainable than the old ‘DPCS Graduate Fellows’ program that I managed in DC for several years, mainly because alum coordinators don’t have to recruit the employers. The DC program currently has 21 ‘Bridgers,’ and each has a well-matched alumni mentor. NYC’s program is smaller, but both seem to be thriving . . . and the Center says it is considering expanding Bridges to Impact to additional cities in the future. “Most of the mentors and seminar leaders find the program fun and rewarding. Classmates should stay tuned for the chance to volunteer with one of the new Bridges to Impact city-based programs. Boston and San Francisco may be next in line.” Classmates can learn more about DPCS at its website: https://students.dartmouth.edu/social-impact/alumni/dartmouth-partners-community-service.

The Dartmouth College Fund and Class Dues

Head 67 DCF Agent Joe Alviani writes,

I hope Classmates had the opportunity to read, in my recent letter, about the Dartmouth Experience of Hanna Bliska ’20 (pictured here). As you may recall, Hanna is an environmental studies major, studying spiders in Greenland and formulating policy in Vermont, through the Policy Research Shop at the Nelson A. Rocke- feller Center. Whether it’s in the areas of international affairs, the environment, global health, or economics, the issues seem daunting. But, so too are the endless opportunities to embrace some of these challenges and do good while doing well. So, as we celebrate Dartmouth’s 250th, one proud tradition that remains steadfast is Dart- mouth’s ability to prepare students for a lifetime of Hanna Bliska ’20 learning and responsible, wise leadership. I am proud to be part of the Great Class of 1967, which has made so many generous contributions to Dart- mouth over the years, most recently the 1967 Gallery at the beautifully renovated Hood Museum and the 67 Bunkhouse at Moosilauke. We also continue our major support for Dartmouth students through the Dartmouth College Fund. We continue to make a difference, setting an example for students like Hanna and others who follow in our footsteps.

As of June 1, thanks to 204 members of our Great Class of 1967, we are close to our dollar goal, with only $56,000 left to go. And with another 92 classmates still to give, I am confident we will surpass it. If you aren’t sure you have made your gift to the 2019 Dartmouth College Fund, please contact jen- [email protected], who is our liaison at the College.

Dartmouth Alumni Council 2019 Spring Meeting News

Report from Council President Adrienne “Tee” Lotson ’82

The agenda for the 218th meeting was packed. Councilors rolled up their sleeves and dug deeply into the work of the weekend. Some highlights:  Councilors supported The Call to Serve through the 5th Annual Day of Service on May 4 and a service project held during our meeting where we wrote letters of encouragement to senior citizens and veterans. Kudos to Rachel Bogardus Drew ’98, chair of the Alumni Service Committee, for organizing both events. As you may know, The Call to Serve challenges our community to contribute 250,000 hours of service in honor of Dartmouth’s 250 years and seeks to call attention to the amazing work Dartmouth alumni, faculty, students, and staff do in the world. This initiative has recently crossed the 100,000-hour mark, and we need your help to get to 250,000.  Dartmouth is developing a strategic master plan that will chart a course for the next twenty years and beyond. Councilors participated in a walking tour of some of the coming and completed construction initiatives on campus and had the opportunity to offer our input on the plan.  We engaged in a discussion of Dartmouth’s Campus Climate and Culture Initiative (C3I). We learned how the initiative functions in concert with Moving Dartmouth Forward and Inclusive Excellence and how it takes important steps to address sexual misconduct; foster healthy relationships; and make the campus a safer, more inclusive community for all members. Dartmouth has joined more than 40 other colleges and universities and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to create the Action Collaborative on Preventing Sexual Harassment in Higher Education. Dartmouth is the only school to have committed publicly to implement all of the recommendations, including interventions such as mandatory Title IX training, climate reviews, unified sexual misconduct policies, expanded mental health resources, and an external advisory committee.  Oh, the Place We Have Gone!!! This year we will have the chance to celebrate the 250th with international alumni in cities around the world. We’ll be bringing Dartmouth to London, Hong Kong, Lima, and Toronto, where alumni, families, and friends will have opportunities to experience interactive ses- sions with faculty and students, engage in lively debates and open conversations about the most pressing issues of our time—from climate change to international security—and connect with peers as we explore Dartmouth’s critical role in our global future.

As noted above, in plenaries and committee meetings, your Councilors spent much of their time sharing your views on key matters, including admission, student and campus life, and the class action sexual misconduct lawsuit brought in November by nine former students against Dartmouth.

Thank you for your continued engagement with the College and Council through your volunteer work, ideas, questions, and feedback. We are here to hear you and to share your sentiments with Dartmouth’s leadership. Be in touch anytime. If you’d like a more thorough summary of the Council meeting, please read the minutes and view photos, or reach out to your Council representatives.

As I traveled the globe as your representative, I have to tell you that indeed Dartmouth has the best alumni body in the world. Thank you for the laughs, hard conversations, thought-provoking engagement, and trust that we are a community made better when there is a place for all of us at the table. It has been a true joy to serve as your president. I welcome my successor, Alec Casey ’88, who will begin his tenure on July 1, 2019.

President’s Message by Sam Ostrow

Some not quite random thoughts about the Class of 1967:

Every month or so I get an email (or even a real letter) from a classmate who has been away from us for a long time, usually since graduation. Those notes usually provide a brief “life bio,” and always a request for the 50th Reunion Yearbook, Most include a heartfelt apology for not coming to the Reunion, a promise that they are now ready to return to us when next we do “something big,” and an appreciated but rejected offer to pay for the book. I remember asking my father, late in his life, why he became so close to his remaining Dartmouth Class of 1935 classmates when he was not at all close to them as a student or in his early alum years. “Together we survived the Depression and together we won a war,” was his simple response. I’m thinking our prodigal brothers are going through the same late-in-life reconsiderations as did my Dad, and realizing that we are the living history of the milestones of their lives in which they now want to share.

Judy brought the March/April issue of the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine to me in Maine. On Page 29 is a one-page story about the “unsung” Dartmouth Outing Club House on Occom Pond, with a paragraph devoted to the Class of 1967 Memorial Grove. Rob Kugler, Paul Killebrew, and Bill Bogardus were with me when we con- ceived of this project, and I was delighted to see it recognized in this way. I always recall the student who made the midnight hike with me to it after an Alumni Council Meeting one year and referred to it as “the place of peace on campus.” With the Class of 67 Gallery at The Hood Museum, the Class of 67 Bunkhouse at Mount Moosilauke, the Class of 67 Memorial to the Old Pine at the Bema, and the Class of 67 Memorial Grove on Oc- com Pond, we have reached a place of prominence in the Dartmouth community not many classes can claim. What makes me happiest about this is how many of us participated in all of it!

At the end of May, I had the honor and pleasure of having lunch in Hanover with Jim and Susan Wright. It was a private celebration, and a lot of happy memories were shared among a small group of friends. He told me how much he appreciated our Class’s commitment to working through the legacy of the Vietnam War, and how many of our classmates were engaged in the Vietnam Symposium at the 50th and in our Living in a Time of Momentous Change book. One of Jim’s oft repeated messages to students is, “We have work to do together, you and I.” His respect for our Class is large, and it, too, is based on how much we do together.

I am writing this on Commencement Day―may the Class of 2019 know of the closeness we 67s share, and the joys of accomplishing together all that the Class of 1967 has done to bring their Dartmouth experience

Safe Home

Larry Langford says: As our friend, Coach Al Tennyson, would have put it, “In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of…football!” While you goat-footed pan-pip- ers have been out gamboling on the greensward, others have been hard at work planning for the November 9th Princeton Game at Yankee Stadium. The good news is we have secured a block of excel- lent seats in a really good section: Section 111, Rows 21 & 22 (our friends in ’66 and ’68 have gone for the cheap seats with bad views). The reason to act soon is that while pre-game and post-game festivities are still in the planning stages, we want to give you the chance to order tickets now to be sure you can attend! Tickets are $89 each, and our block has 2 rows of sixteen of these beautiful seats available Supply is limited, so act now! To order your tickets call the Dartmouth Ticket Office (603-646-2466) and ask to be seated in the Class of 1967 seats in section #111. If we fill our allotted two rows early, we may be able to steal more seats from the rows behind us. In addition, we’d like to get a rough headcount for whatever pre-game and post-game insanity we come up with (probably in conjunction with the ’68s). So please tell your Secretary when you’ve bought your tickets. Click here: larrylang- [email protected]. So that’s it. Buy your tickets now! The highlight of your year will be on November 9th!
