The oldest alumni included are the late Edward Tuck '62, and Charles H. Pettee '74, formerly dean of New Hampshire University.
Because of his interest in discovering the alumni listed in Who's Who, Basil O'Connor '12 with the help of his office staff completed the large task of checking some 35,000 biographies carried in the book to secure the list of Dartmouth men.
The complete list of names follows with class and occupation given for each man. Those who have died since publication of the most recent volume of Who's Who are starred. It should be noted that occupations are those given at the time of publication of the volume, which have in some cases changed.
