More Warmth

ANOTHER recent bequest characterized by warm, personal feelings toward the College is the one made by the late Dorothy Cleaveland, M.A. '54, who served Dartmouth for a good part of her life, as secretary first to President Hopkins and then to President Dickey. Miss Cleaveland willed to Dartmouth her home in Hanover, with the stipulation that it be sold and the proceeds used to establish an unrestricted scholarship endowment fund bearing her name. The house was planned and built under her supervision in 1950.

Born in Lancaster, N. H., Miss Cleaveland died there after a long illness, on September 24. A graduate of Simmons College, she seemed almost to be an adopted daughter of Dartmouth, as a result of her years of devoted service, in which Trustees, administrative officers and faculty members came to depend upon the knowledge and judgment she used in her dealings with those conducting the affairs of the College.

An enthusiastic member of the League of New Hampshire Arts and Crafts and a worker often seen in Virgil Poling's workshop, Miss Cleaveland also left to the College all the tools she had used in making handwrought jewelry and silverware. A jeweler's workbench has been designed with fittings for her tools and a special jeweler's sawing jig. With an appropriate plaque attached, the bench will be placed in the Student Workshop for use by students and members of the faculty. In addi- tion to the above bequests, Miss Cleaveland left to the Hitchcock Foundation in Hanover the sum of $500, to support the research program carried on by the Foundation.
