You have always been a dynamic and powerful leader of the huge industrial complex known world-wide as "G.M."

Dartmouth graduate, Class of 1915, you are the College's constant and devoted son. As Trustee, Overseer of Tuck School, and generous benefactor, the full extent of your service cannot be measured. With all the things you have done and are doing for this College, perhaps your greatest gift is that you — an industrial genius of our time - have always believed in the .importance of the liberal arts tradition to our country, and to the world.

Through the years, scores of honors have come your way. In 1954 Dartmouth took pride in according you her honorary degree of Doctor of Laws.

Sloan Foundation, the Sloan Kettering Foundation, the Ethyl Corporation, the General Motors Acceptance Corporation, and others.

Here on Hanover Plain there is a living monument to your profound belief in the highest principles of this institution ... the new, magnificent Albert Bradley Center for Mathematics.
