In his thirteen years of service with the company before that he was sales manager and then vice president. He was recently honored by Colgate University with a Civic Award for outstanding community service in Oneida.

He has two Dartmouth sons, Seth '60 and Carter '62.

The three days of Alumni Council meetings, June 13-15, occurred during the latter half of Reunion Week. An opening reception at the Presidents House preceded the Council's annual dsinner in Thayer Hall, where four Alumni Awards were presented (see Page 25) and an address on "The Medical Science Program at Dartmouth" was given by Dr. S. Marsh Tenney '44, who relinquished the position of Dean of the Medical School on June 1 in order to give full time to teaching and research.

Thursday morning and the luncheon hour were devoted to committee meetings dealing with admissions and enrollment, the Alumni Fund, Alumni Awards, class gifts, public relations, regional organization, placement service, and bequests and estate planning. That afternoon the Council met in the College Hall lounge to discuss committee reports and major Council projects, and adjourned in time for a barbecue supper at The Keenes in Hanover Center.

At their final business session on Friday morning the Council members heard a talk on "Plans for the Summer Term" by Waldo Chamberlin, Dean of Summer Programs, and had the opportunity to discuss Dartmouth policies and developments with President Dickey after he had spoken informally on the state of the College.
