Alumni Magazine Wins National Award

The first winner o£ the Robert Sibley Award for the most distinguished alumni magazine of the year was announced in July by J. Maryon Saunders, North Carolina, American Alumni Council director for magazines, as the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE.

Under the editorship of Sidney C. Hayward '26 the magazine most nearly fulfilled the requirements for the award. These were: 1) the best handling of war obligations; 2) the best presentation of the continuing life of the campus and its alumni; and 3) the best display of magazine technique.

This is the first award of the Sibley plaque. A panel of judges determined the winner.

Francis L. Childs '06 reported for the Resolutions Committee, of which the other members were Harold P. Hinman '10 and Martin J. Remsen '14. A resolution was passed congratulating Dr. Zeeb Oilman '63 who has recently celebrated his 102nd birthday. The Association paid tribute to five officers of the College who died since the last meeting and to thirty- four of its members who have died in active service within the last year.

The following resolution was also unanimously passed: "The Alumni Association reassures President Hopkins of its continued and ever increasing affection, respect, and trust, and pledges anew to him the loyal support of twenty-one- thousand alumni in his direction of the affairs of the College during this, the greatest crisis it has ever been called upon to face, confident that his breadth of outlook, his clarity of insight, his depth of understanding will lead Dartmouth out of the difficult and perplexing present into a brightly shining future, with its rich heritage of cultural inspiration undiminished, its high standards of liberal education unimpaired, and its noble purpose of shaping young men for selfless service to humanity unchanged."

The secretary-chairman of the senior class, Donald L. Burnham '44, spoke in be- half of the graduating class in accordance with long custom at the annual meeting of the Alumni Association. The final speaker was President Hopkins who emphasized the symbolism of continuing the custom and tradition of the Annual Alumni Meeting during war time when the usual attendance, 1500-2000 men, was reduced at this meeting to 40.
