Orvil E. Dryfoos '34 Nominee for Trustee

AT its meeting January 22 the Dartmouth Alumni Council nominated Orvil E. Dryfoos '34 of New York City to continue on the Board of Trustees of the College when his partial term expires June 30. He is nominated to a first full term of five years beginning July 1. In this matter the Council acts in behalf of the alumni body, although other nominations may be made according to constitutional procedure quoted below.

Mr. Dryfoos is president of The NewYork Times. Following graduation from Dartmouth in 1934 he engaged in financial work in New York and then became assistant to the publisher of The Times ira 1943, and vice president in 1954. He assumed his present position of president in 1957, and is an officer and director of several subsidiary companies of TheTimes.

Mr. Dryfoos earlier served on the Dartmouth Alumni Council and was especially active on the Council's Committee on Public Relations. As a Trustee for the past three years he has played an important part in the Development Program and is now chairman of the Board's Committee on Educational Affairs and a member of its Committee on Public and Alumni Affairs.

Unless other nominations are received the name of Mr. Dryfoos goes to the Board of Trustees in June as the nominee of the alumni, with the actual election a responsibility of the Board.

Nominating Procedure

According to the constitutional provisions of the Alumni Association, the responsibility for nominating Alumni Trustees rests with the Alumni Council. Provision is made, however, for further nominations by alumni at large. The section of the constitution dealing with this feature is quoted herewith:

"Said secretary shall also give notice, not less than four months before Commencement, and by publication in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, that the Council will nominate Alumni Trustee or Trustees to take office on the first Monday after Commencement.

"Within two months after such publication in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE any one hundred alumni qualified to vote for the Council of Alumni may file with the said secretary a petition over their own signatures for the nomination of a qualified alumnus for the office of Alumni Trustee. Said secretary shall, as soon as practicable after expiry of the period for nomination by petition, send to each alumnus qualified to vote, an official ballot containing the name of the alumnus nominated by the Council for the office of Trustee and the name or names of candidates nominated by petition, as aforesaid. No voting by proxy shall be allowed in voting for Alumni Trustees, and the polls shall close on June 10 before Commencement.

"If no candidates are nominated by petition as above set forth, no voting for Trustees shall take place, and the alumnus nominated by the Council shall be the candidate of the alumni for the office of Trustee."
