Hinman '10 "Best Class Secretary"

At the annual dinner meeting of theclass and club officers in Hanover onMay 6, the award for the best class secretary of the year went to Harold P.Hinman, for many years secretarychairman of the Class of 1910. The citation read by Sidney C. Hayward '26,Secretary of the College, was as follows:

In 1936 the Dartmouth Secretaries Association honored one of its most beloved members, Hap Hinman of the Class of 1910, with election to the Alumni Council. For six years he set a noble example for all other members of the "Senate" of the Dartmouth alumni body by zealous and effective leadership in Alumni Council affairs. Perhaps his greatest contribution during those years of devoted service was his chairmanship of the committee which established and made permanent the Class Group Subscription Plan for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. If you are proud of the fact that nearly 18,000 Dartmouth men receive the best alumni magazine in the country every month, you can thank Hap Hinman, more than any other man, for what he did twelve years and more ago.

In their handsome new Manual the class secretaries learn that they are truly the managers of class activities and that their work "is as real and as positive in value for the College as that of the man who gives her a necessary building or provides her with a financial endowment." The man whom we honor tonight has for many years, both within and outside the Class of 1910, been the very model of a model class secretarychairman. More power to you, Harold P. Hinman 'lO, and to all like you. We are very happy to honor you as Dartmouth's Class Secretary for 1949.
