HONORARY DEGREE CITATIONS

JEAN MONNET French Statesman DOCTOR OF LAWS

MORE than any contemporary, you bear the burden and the glory of personifying the vision and the effort necessary to create a united Europe. As French as your birth in Cognac (geographically speaking, that is), as bold as your authorship of Churchill's 1940 proposal for the union of Britain and Prance, as far-reaching as your concept for the European Coal and Steel Community and as indefatigable as you were as its first president, you have an instinct both as seer and doer for going to the heart of things: in World War I on the Inter-Allied Maritime Committee, at thirty-one as the first Deputy Secretary General of the League of Nations, in World War II as a member of the British Supply Council who helped set America's production goals for the Victory Program, and after victory as creator and commissioner of the Monnet Plan whereby France became a modern industrial nation. Today, undaunted by the fact that he who first goes to the heart of things often goes alone, you press on toward that unity for Europe which in all human affairs grows only in the soil of common institutions and a climate of sensed community. A man who knows at first hand both the dreadful urgency of our days and the tenacious patience required of the workers in any vineyard, we look to you as a builder of the larger community who has long begun what he bids others begin. It honors an institution of the higher learning to witness such service to humankind with its Doctorate of Laws, honoris causa.

KENT HALE SMITH '15 Former Chairman of the Board,Lubrizol Corporation;Acting President,Case Institute of Technology, 1958-61 DOCTOR OF LAWS

IF the purposes of higher education are to be seen most convincingly in the lives of its product you might well find yourself marked Exhibit "A" by two institutions of higher learning. Cleveland-born son of a graduate and long-time faculty leader of Case Institute of Technology, a graduate yourself of both Dartmouth and Case, it is more a matter of fact than praise to say that in the qualities of character good men covet, in the professional attainments for which able men strive, and in that civic responsibility by which leaders are known and all men are served, you excel. You have never been one to work hard at finding reasons for your not doing what someone ought to do. Whether it was your country in war, your community's countless causes, your College or the unexpected challenge of several hard years at the helm of Case Institute as Acting President, you, as befits the founder of Lubrizol, always went "the second mile." Upon you as an alumnus whose life makes good the claims of higher education and, incidentally, as the founder of one of her most exclusive alumni groups, the Smith Brothers Dartmouth Club of Cleveland (Kent 1915, Vincent 1917 and Kelvin 1920), Dartmouth delights to bestow her highest award for honor done, the Doctorate of Laws.

PHYLLIS McGINLEY Poet DOCTOR OF LETTERS

ALTHOUGH you avow that your writing "comes forever second" to Mrs. Hayden's household, few of us can believe that even the most undistracted attention to but one husband and two daughters could arm a poet with such acute insight into the disillusionment of little boys and the utility of husbands. You, after all, are the lady whose ten titles tell us in your own words that a pocketful of wry or one more manhattan, certainly if times three, a short walk from the station past the stones from a glass house will reveal husbands are difficult until on the contrary, "Merry Christmas, Happy New Year," they are enticed into the province of the heart by the love letters of Phyllis McGinley. In truth, your poems are love letters to this generation and each new generation as it moves from the wooing to the behooving. Dear to any weary dean's heart is your counsel "In Praise of Diversity":

Praise youth for pulling things apart, Toppling the idols, breaking leases; Then from the upset apple-cart Praise oldsters picking up the pieces. Praise wisdom, hard to be a friend to, And folly one can condescend to.

And so upon you, delightful antidote to the dismays of our time, Dartmouth bestows a June valentine, her Doctorate of Letters.

ALBERT WILLIAM TUCKER Professor and Chairman,Department of Mathematics,Princeton University;President,Mathematical Association of America DOCTOR OF SCIENCE

BORN and raised a Canadian, Toronto A.B., M.A. and Ph.D., nearly three decades ago you began an academic career at Princeton which became a mission to mathematics. In a field where scholarship scores only if the idea is both new and demonstrably true your ideas have won their way in topology, in theory of games, and in linear programming. But even in mathematics a mission is more than ideas; it is also always a man, a man who cares to the point of dedication, whose concern is that others should care too, and who can minister to the other fellow, as the need may be, either help or forbearance. Because you, sir, embody in extraordinary measure both your profession's love of precision and man's need for conscientious leadership mathematics in America at all levels is today higher than it was and tomorrow will be higher. In admiration for all this and in very special gratitude for help given, Dartmouth is proud to enroll you among her honored own as Doctor of Science.

FRANK HENRY WESTHEIMER '32 Professor and Chairman,Department of Chemistry,Harvard University DOCTOR OF SCIENCE

DARTMOUTH graduate, Class of 1932, you belong to that select group of scholars whose pioneering has always reached out beyond any other man's knowledge and increasingly in our time strains the comprehension of anyone who presumes to stand astride the multiplying peaks of science. On the science side of C. P. Snow's cultural divide you were known a decade ago as "the first organic chemist to use the isotope effect on the rate of a chemical reaction to deduce the reaction mechanism"; today your ingenious skill, your passion for exact measurement, and your masterly interpretation of data combine to probe that borderland of our understanding of life, "the nature and mechanism of the specific catalytic effects of enzymes." As a teacher you are honored by colleagues and students alike for warmth and an inspiring enthusiasm which flow from your learning, not in spite of it. It is recorded that you were the last graduate student accepted by Professor Conant before he became Harvard's president and even if it be doubted whether you were quite that precocious as a catalyst, no one doubts that the high promise of your Dartmouth days has been kept as befits a son whose alma mater's Doctorate of Science bespeaks the honor he does her.

FRANCIS LANE CHILDS '06 Winkley Professor of the Anglo-Saxonand English Language and Literature,Emeritus;Editor, Hanover Bicentennial Book DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS

LET it be said straight out that in you town, gown and Granite State are uniquely met. New Hampshireman by birth in Henniker, graduated summacum laude by Dartmouth, Class of 1906, Harvard Ph.D., for over half a century you have served the ancient Hanover trinity of community, College and church with a fidelity that makes whole life's many parts. Beginning your teaching mission at seventeen in a country school, you became an all-time stalwart of the Dartmouth faculty whose classes in Shakespeare brought joy to all save the Baconians and other lesser infidels. Today as we savor the Hanover Bicentennial Book you so largely wrought we are acutely aware of our mounting debt to you as an historian at large and at heart and yet we are most mindful that except for the grace of lives such as yours there would be little to celebrate at any time - even in Hanover. If, come the commencement of 2061, men are again met on Hanover Plain to celebrate a centennial, it will be because between now and then Hanover remained home to your kind both here and "though round the girdled earth they roam." This award to you of her Doctorate of Humane Letters betokens Dartmouth's commitment to that happy prospect.

YOUSUF KARSH Photographer, Portraitist DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS

YOUR career does eloquent justice to perhaps the most ignored benefactor of boyhood - a generous and understanding uncle. Born to the prospect of persecution as an Armenian, given refuge in Canada by a photographer uncle and staked by him to a Boston apprenticeship in the art of photography, you used this opportunity and your talent to make yourself preeminent in the modern art of portraiture by camera. To the disciplined manipulation of film, lens and light you added the concern of the artist with essence, for you the most elusive essence of all, the essence of the extraordinary person. If unhappily all contemporary biography were lost to posterity except your "Portraits of Greatness," thanks to your genius and to her who lit its way our time would still be remembered as a day when the human spirit shone on the face of men. To you as one who perceived as well as preserved these moments of man at his varied best, Dartmouth extends this welcome into her fellowship as an honored Doctor of Humane Letters.

JAMES FRANCIS MALLEY '11Former Member of the New HampshireLegislature; IndustrialistMASTER OF ARTS

As a member of seven successive sessions of the New Hampshire legislature from 1947 through 1959 you set an example of statesmanship in State affairs. Following a lifetime of work in New England shoe plants, begun as a boy to earn your Dartmouth education and culminating in the presidency of your company, you so far made the affairs of New Hampshire your business that even though politically domiciled in New Hampshire's "other party" you became widely regarded as the most knowledgeable and farsighted authority on the finances of the State. And you were not one to shirk the responsibility that goes with such authority: your advocacy of broadening the base of the State's taxation resources was respected (often even where it was opposed) as courageous, disinterested statesmanship. It is particularly fitting that both Dartmouth's allegiance to the North Country and her abiding concern for the public-mindedness of all her sons should be reaffirmed at the graduation of the Class of 1961 by the award to you, a member of the Class of 1911, of-the Master's degree, honoriscausa.
