News from the College ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Winter 2018 Issue News from the College To Grow, or Not to Grow? You've given me a number, Sir, and you took away my name. To get around this campus now, I almost need a plane . ― Phil Ochs, “I’m Going to Say It Now” Presumably Dartmouth will never take on the dark attributes Phil Ochs described in 1966, but recent articles from Dartmouth’s official news service and The Dartmouth have mentioned a College task force created last summer to look at whether Dartmouth should increase the size of its student body. See, e.g., “Task Force on Enrollment Seeks Input,” https://news.dartmouth.edu/news/2017/11/task-force-enrollment-expansion-seeks-in- put?utm_source=Dartmouth+News+Weekly&utm_campaign=5407a3abd9-dart- news_weekly_2017_11_09&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0b7afd736b-5407a3abd9-391544929. The arti- cle says Dartmouth has “the smallest number of undergraduates in the Ivy League [, which] makes it challenging for the College to enroll classes that represent a wide diversity of backgrounds, academic interests, and activities outside the classroom.” See also “Task Force to Explore Pros and Cons of a Larger Student Body,” https://news.dartmouth.edu/news/2017/08/task-force-explore-pros-and-cons-larger-student-body; and “Trustees Discuss Diversity, Enrollment Growth, Construction,” https://news.dartmouth.edu/news/2017/11/trustees-discuss-diversity-enrollment-growth-construction. Student opinion appears to be strongly against expansion. An article titled “For the College on the Hill (http://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2017/10/for-the-col- lege-on-the-hill) appeared in the Homecoming issue of the Daily D, reporting a survey of students on a number of sub- jects, including the growth question. A strong majority (76%) of students said the size of the college should stay the same. In response to a differently-worded question, they said they were “strongly opposed” (49%) or “somewhat opposed” (28%) to the growth concept as they understood it―very con- sistent with the “stay the same” percentage. College Park Threatened? Part of the process is a survey of where to locate any new construction, and the administra- tion apparently is measuring up the College Park, home of the Shattuck Observatory, Bartlett Tower, the Bema, and the Rob- ert Frost statue. The Dartmouth reports that a petition on the subject is circulating (“Over 1,600 Sign College Park Dorm Petition,” Jan. 4, 2018 http://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2018/01/over-1600-sign-college-park-dorm-peti- tion). Apparently it originated in the Physics and Astronomy Department, and is signed by students, professors, and others connected to the College. Alumni opinion. Undergraduate enrollment has increased by about 1/3 since we were students more than 50 years ago. As alumni, no doubt we’re rumored to be opposed to all change. Some alums are voicing concerns about the growth idea through class newsletters, some through the Alumni Council, and others through other avenues. The weight of opinion appears to be, “If it ain’t broke, why try to fix it?” See Peter Nistad’s Alumni Council report, on “the elephant in the living room,” later in this issue. Like What You See? Reported not by the College news service but in the Daily D, Dartmouth has also rolled out a new “branding strategy” and a new “visual identity.” In “College Debuts New Branding Strat- egy,” The Dartmouth, Jan. 23, 2018, http://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2018/01/college-debuts-new- branding-strategy, a new official College typeface (called “Dartmouth Ruszicka”) and logo were unveiled. In “The Evolution of Dartmouth’s Visual Identity,” The Dartmouth, Jan. 24, 2018, http://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2018/01/the-evolution-of-dart- mouths-visual-identity, the new visual identity is discussed. Apparently it will lead to less use of the College’s historic seal and coat of arms in favor of design elements like the “D-Pine” that are thought to work better in dig- ital environments. Opinions of the new design may differ. Your Editor has an opinion, but doesn’t trust it. Other recent news items • Undergraduate Applications Hit Five-Year High. The College has received 22,005 applications for admission to the Class of 2022―an increase of 9.8 percent over last year, and the fourth-largest applicant pool in Dartmouth’s history. The strong rise in the overall applicant pool, which includes both early deci- sion admission and the current round of regular decision admission, is the largest one-year increase in seven years. https://news.dartmouth.edu/news/2018/01/admissions-undergraduate-applications-hit-five- year-high?utm_source=Dartmouth+News+Weekly&utm_campaign=e5e46e6eec-dart- news_weekly_2018_02_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0b7afd736b-e5e46e6eec-391544929. • Dartmouth at the Winter Olympics. Fifteen athletes with ties to Dartmouth are heading to Pyeongchang. But it’s not just the number that’s impressive, says two-time Olympian Tiger Shaw ’85, it’s also the ath- letes’ academic and career achievements. “I don’t see any school anywhere that is like Dartmouth in that regard,” he says. https://news.dartmouth.edu/news/2018/01/dartmouths-olympic-reputation-hailed-final- teams-named?utm_source=Dartmouth+News+Weekly&utm_campaign=e5e46e6eec-dart- news_weekly_2018_02_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0b7afd736b-e5e46e6eec-391544929. There’s an interesting documentary, “Passion for Snow” about skiing at Dartmouth, with emphasis on Dartmouth’s Olympians. You can see the trailer at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_YXQVXb95Y. • Presidential Committee on Sexual Misconduct to Be Appointed. The committee will review and make recommendations on revisions to institution-wide policies on sexual misconduct response, prevention, education, and accountability. https://news.dartmouth.edu/news/2018/01/presidential-committee-sexual- misconduct-be-appointed?utm_source=Dartmouth+News+Weekly&utm_campaign=e5e46e6eec-dart- news_weekly_2018_02_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0b7afd736b-e5e46e6eec-391544929. • Money! Other news items from the College news service include a report that, after several years of ups and downs, the endowment grew by 14.6 percent in fiscal year 2017, and now nears $5 billion. (“Dart- mouth Announces Endowment Returns,” https://news.dartmouth.edu/news/2017/09/dartmouth-an- nounces-endowment-returns). On a different front, The Dartmouth reported in October that donations to the College in fiscal 2017 had fallen about 10 percent from the prior year―albeit from a record-setting 2016 high of $318.8 million. (“Donations to the College Decrease by 10 Percent,” Oct. 11, 2017, http://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2017/10/donations-to-the-college-decrease-by-10-percent.) Un- common loyalty and generosity still appear to be common alumni virtues. ____________________ The Dartmouth College Fund and Class Dues. Speaking of money, our new Class Head Agent for the Dartmouth College Fund is Joe Alviani (see officers’ list on last page). Joe would love to hear from you, as would our new Treasurer, Ed Gray, who is willing to collect class dues at any hour of the day or night! Robert Frost is watching you! Class Gatherings Class Officers Weekend, Sept. 15-16 Each year the College hosts class officers for two days of meetings with College officers, alumni staff, and each other, including seminars on how to do our jobs. The Class was represented by Sam Ostrow, Paul Killebrew, Rob Kugler, Bill Bogardus, John Manaras, Larry Langford, Becky and Ed Gray, Bruce Pacht, and Jim Rooks. Homecoming weekend, October 6-7 Homecoming weekend began early for the ’67s, with the first-ever ’67 Moosilauke Bunkhouse sleepover. The first on-campus event was a pizza/beer/wine party for the class in the Hop, jointly with the '66s. Chuck Hobbie, Sam Ostrow and friends, and Wayne Beyer The party was followed by the Homecoming parade, which had a good contingent of ’67s, significant others, and even grandchildren marching in it. Rounding out the Friday festivities was the signature bonfire. Golf! The ’67 fall activism continued with the annual Rich Paolino ’67 Memorial Golf Tournament, held at the Rhode Island Country Club on October 14. The golf scores remain classified.

Susan, Curt, Sharleen and Larry Football! Bob Burka described the memorable Homecoming game against Yale on October 7 thusly: “[The] game was terrific. We were down 21-0 in the second quarter, down 21-7 at the half, and that only because of an intercepted pass run-back for a TD. At one point we were down 24-7 and then 27-14, only to get ahead 28-27 with a TD with 34 seconds left. This was on top of a [13-10] win against Penn [the previous] week on the last play of the game, when we gambled for a win against a sure tie via a short field goal.” We had a good ’67 group at the Dartmouth v. Brown football game at Fenway Park in Boston on November 10. In attendance were Larry and Sharleen Bowen, Bill Bogardus and Hal Cash, Paul and Joyce Killebrew, John and Susan Manaras, David Millane, Warren Cook, and Jim Rooks. The temperature was in the 20s at kickoff time, but Dartmouth won handily, 33-10. Rooks, Killebrew, Killebrew, Millane . Killebrew, Manaras, Manaras, Bowen, Bowen Less of a romp for Dartmouth was the season-ending Princeton game in Hanover on Nov. 18. Dartmouth eventually won, 54-44, thanks to several bizarre last-minute (literally) plays, in which two TDs were scored with one second left on the game clock!

FRANKENFIELD On September 13, 2015, the Town of Hanover lost a valued friend. Jerry was the cornerstone of the Fire Department, spending a 42 year career working in various positions for the department, most recently that of the Deputy Fire Chief / Hanover Fire Marshal. Jerry was a thoughtful, passionate person who valued codes, rules and regulations. His goal was to make both the Town of Hanover and the Dartmouth campus a safer place for its citizens and students. His job required him to work with people of all walks of life and he earned the respect of professors, administrators, contractors and laborers alike. He had a valued, longstanding working relationship with Dartmouth College and he knew top to bottom every building on campus, as well as in the Town. As a tribute to Jerry for his service to their community, on September 25-26, 2015, Dartmouth College lowered their flag to half-staff on the Green; a tradition reserved to honor deceased trustees, students, faculty and staff and one that speaks volumes. Jerry was highly respected by those he worked with at the Hanover schools and he remained a volunteer for the high school’s annual Project Graduation long after his children had graduated. On a personal side, Jeryl was an avid collector of antique John Deere tractors and a member of many clubs.

  • News for the Friends of Dartmouth Physics & Astronomy
    News for the Friends of Dartmouth Physics & Astronomy A New Interdisciplinary Institution Recent Faculty Research A Message from John Thorstensen, Chair Dear Friends, As you can see from these pages, we've had another good year here in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. If you've been keeping track, you'll notice that the Chairship has changed hands -- Jim LaBelle handed me the reins at the end of June. I had already served a 3-year term a decade ago, so the chairship is "deja vu all over again" for me -- as the handoff approached, Jim referred to me in his inimitable way as "The Once and Future Chair". Hopefully I'll be up to the job -- as the Department's longest-serving faculty member (I was hired in 1980), I at least bring institutional memory to the table. In any case, I am grateful to Jim for having handed me a happy and well- functioning department. The intellectual life of the Department is vibrant, thanks to the vigorous research effort that you'll see detailed in these pages. While research and teaching are sometimes painted as being in conflict, we would surely not attract the superb students we see without the intellectual excitement that comes from working at the edge of the unknown. I have interviewed many prospective undergraduates over the years, and pretty much every single one has asked about research opportunities for students -- and I've always been able to reassure them on that point. This summer we welcomed a new faculty member, James Whitfield; another, Devin Walker, is arriving at the start of the new year.

  • 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.

  • Thomas Crady Resume
    Thomas M. Crady, Ph.D. CAREER OBJECTIVE I aspire to be a vice president or senior leader at a small college or university. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE VICE PRESIDENT FOR ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT Gustavus Adolphus College, July 2010- present. I currently supervise Admission, Financial Aid, Student Accounts, and a budget of approximately 46 million dollars (including financial aid) along with the professional and support staff. In consultation with the President and the Vice President for Finance, I set yearly enrollment targets for the first year class and net tuition revenue goals for the College. During my first-year, I implemented a new admission marketing plan to increase applications along with a new paperless CRM system to manage a larger applicant pool. Kept comprehensive fee increases no higher that the CPI. Within two years, applications rose from 3200 to near 5200 resulting in the enrollment of two of the large classes in recent history. I have expanded recruiting markets both out-of-state and internationally (doubling international students) and worked closely with faculty to market their departments and involve them in all steps of the admission process. I am currently a member of the Internal Budget Committee, Trustee Enrollment Management Committee, Trustee Institutional Resources Committee, and Chair of the College’s Retention Committee.
