(' 1 \ ..J\. .. 0 Laurence McKinley Gould Mr. President, I have the honor to present as a candidate for an honorary degree, Laurence McKinley Gould geologist, explorer, author, teacher, distinguished college president, and collector of red ties, stuffed penguins, poems, and honorary degrees. It" is especially fitting that one who received his undergraduate education and his first doctorate from that younger sister institution, the University of Michigan, should at last receive a degree from the oldest seat of higher learning in his native state. His pioneering work as an explorer is chronicled in his remarkable book, COLD, an account of one of the last great dog-sled journeys, which he made as second in command of the 1928 Byrd Expedition to the Antarctic. That he has retained his adventurous spirit through many years as a distinguished teacher of geology and dynamic president of Carleton College is confirmed by two more recent trips co the Antarctic as Director of the United States Antarctic program for the International Geophysical Year 195 7-5 8. During this period he was instrumental in achieving one of the few international agreements including the Soviet Union which continues to be honored. Throughout his career his activities have been characterized by impatience with anything less than man's best. "The Pursuit of Excellence" was not merely a slogan for students at Carleton College; it was a way of life personi fied by their president, Laurence Gould. His service as national president of Phi Beta Kappa, as a member of the National Science Board of the National Science Foundation, and as a member of the executive committee of the Ford Foundation indicates his concern for, and the recognition by others of his dedication to, excellence. That rare combination of distinguished scientist and articulate humanist which is so desperately needed in the world today, is exemplified in this man. On behalf of the Faculty of Kalamazoo College, therefore, I recommend that upon Laurence McKinley Gould be conferred the honorary degree, Doctor of Humane Letters. .

The Spanish River Papers September 2014 Volume XXIII Photo courtesy Carleton College Library WORLD WAR I LETTERS OF LAURENCE GOULD By Michael Wright The Spanish River Papers September 2014 Volume XXIII WORLD WAR I LETTERS OF LAURENCE GOULD By Michael Wright 2014 PREFACE This article is based on a series of letters written to Peg Young and other Boca Raton pioneers from Laurence Gould, one of the town’s first school teachers. He would later become known as a famous geologist and college president. Gould wrote about his experiences in basic training and his service in the ambulance corps for the American Forces in WWI ca. 1917-1918. Author Bio Michael Wright completed his B.A. in History at Florida Atlantic University in 2014.
