Alumni Service Award

For its comprehensive study of all aspects of Dartmouth alumni affairs the Committee on Alumni Relations (CAR) this summer received the 1959 Alumni Service Award of the American Alumni Council. The honor, recognizing the year's outstanding contribution to higher education through organized alumni effort, was bestowed at the Council's 44th general conference at Mackinac Island, Mich.

CAR was given the award, said the citation, "for its comprehensive, twoyear study, carried out in behalf of the Dartmouth Trustees Planning Committee, and for its six-volume report - a welcome addition to the literature of alumni relations and a document of significance far beyond the confines of the Dartmouth campus. Charged with the duty of drawing the plan for an alumni organization that will best contribute to (1) an effective and mutually satisfying two-way relationship between the College and the alumni and (2) the kind of participation in alumni affairs that will be most helpful to Dartmouth's central purpose, the Committee examined critically every aspect of a program already regarded as one of the nation's best. Its recommendations will stand as a bench mark in the continuing development of this aspect of American education."

The CAR study was made by a 16man committee headed by Guy P. Wallick '21 of San Francisco.
