1956
Speaking for all of us '56ers, we're very glad to climb aboard the Alumni Fund Drive of 1958. What we do here, in principle, is basically simple. We supply the necessary funds to give Dartmouth an edge on the future. We are non-profit in motive. Our one objective is service.
But the most important factor in our success is the student. Long ago we joined a group of fine people who were progressive-thinking and hard working. Let's join the Alumni Drive in full force in order to guarantee the Hanover folk a chance to grow without any reservations. Education comes expensive, so we must accept the obligation. That's it folks, t'ain't no more to say.
