The class was certainly honored at the Convocation Exercises in September when Chan Cox and Bob Leavens received Alumni Awards.

Guy P. Wallick '21, President of the Dartmouth Alumni Council, read the following citations on that occasion:

"Channing H. Cox '01, in January of 1921, Calvin Coolidge handed you the large nickel key, the arrowhead and the flint as symbols of office, and then you were sworn in as Governor of Massachusetts. Your distinguished career in law, public service and politics has been an inspiration to the people of the Commonwealth. They knew you first as a representative from Boston's Ward 10. You became Speaker of the Massachusetts House and Lieutenant Governor as you prepared for the state's highest office. You have been a bank president and a director of many corporations. In the cause of Dartmouth you served as Vice President and President of the General Association of Alumni, Secretary and President of the Boston Alumni Association and Secretary of your class. And now, 56 years after your graduation, please accept Dartmouth's symbol of her affection and respect - this Alumni Award."

"Robert P. Leavens '01, you are one of the ones we look to. You have been a minister of the Gospel, a teacher, a writer. Your life in the fullest sense has been given to others, but in the giving you have grown. As a minister of The Unitarian Church, you held pastorates in Massachusetts Neden.Nebraska and California. As a teacher den.you were the Headmaster of the Holderness School and have many times been a lecturer in religion and philosophy. As a writer, you recognized the best of the written word and, typically, wished others to enjoy and be enriched by it. In your anthology, "Great Companions," when writing of the way reading can lead to the depths and heights of religious experience, you said,

'One learns from the best of one's fellow pilgrims, both the living and the dead, to try to do what they themselves have done, namely, to look through the things which are seen to the things which are not seen, to enter into vital relation with the Unseen, to commune at first hand with the over-arching, indwelling Reality.'

To you, sir, a Great Companion, Dartmouth is proud to present this Alumni Award."

He understands that your secretary has revived an unique industry in Connecticut, the selling of wooden nutmegs, but does wonder how we manage to get any repeat orders.
