The Cover

In one of his most recent pictures, posed especially for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE'S four-color cover, President Dickey is shown in the garden of the President's House. If there is such a thing as an official tenth anniversary picture of Dartmouth's leader, this, we are ready to claim, is it. PHOTOGRAPH BY ADRIAN BOUCHARD
