A Busy Ten Years Of Outside Activity

DURING the past ten years Mr. Dickey has managed, in addition to the heavy duties of the Dartmouth presidency, to devote himself to numerous outside activities of national importance. Sheer lack of time has kept him from accepting a great many more invitations of this kind.

At present he is a member of the Rocke- feller Foundation, a trustee of the Committee for Economic Development, a Public Governor of the New York Stock Exchange, a member of the Board of Visitors to the U. S. Military Academy, a trustee of Hanover's Hitchcock Foundation, a member of the Ford Foundation's Advisory Committee on International Training and Research, and a director of the recently announced National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

Previously he has been a trustee of Wellesley College, 1947-54; a trustee of the Brookings Institution, 1947-54; a trustee of the World Peace Foundation, 1946-52; a member of the Board of Consultants of the National War College, 1950"1953; a member of the executive committee of the American Council on Education, 1951-52; and a member of the Scholarship Board of the Ford Motor Company Fund, 1951-54.

In December 1946 President Truman named Mr. Dickey a member of the President's Committee on Civil Rights, which made its report in 1947. In 1947 the American Bar Association appointed him a member of its Committee to Survey the Legal Profession, and in the same year the State Department asked him to go to Havana as adviser to the American delegation at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Employment. Also for the Department of State, in 1948, he became a member of the Advisory Committee for the Foreign Service Institute. In 1951 President Dickey was consultant to the American representatives on the United Nations Collective Measures Committee.

He has also served on special committees for Columbia University, New York University and the University of Denver. He participated in the Aspen (Colo.) Institute for Humanistic Studies in the Summer of 1953, and this past summer both Mr. and Mrs. Dickey took part in the Institute for College and University Administrators held at Harvard by the Association of American Colleges. As a member of the New England Council for Economic Development, President Dickey will give the address at its annual meeting in Boston on the 17th of this month. Many addresses beyond Hanover and other committee memberships have filled out a busy ten years of outside activity, all of which has redounded to the welfare of Dartmouth College.
