Bill Morton '28 (c) was honored

Bill Morton '28 (c) was honored by the Dartmouth Alumni Council with its Alumni Award at the January football dinner in Hanover. In making the presentation, Carter Strickland '29 (r), president of the Council, read the following citation:

WILLIAM GILBERT MORTON '28

After.r Sraduating from Dartmouth and from Tuck School you entered the field of banking and have risen to the presidency of the Onondaga ?Y-nty Savings Bank in Syracuse, New York. In addition to outstanding business success, it takes a full page to list your services on civic and community activities in Syracuse - for example, president of the board of trustees of the Syracuse General Hospital, member of the Syracuse University Financial Committee, recipient of Distinguished Service Awards in your home city, and many others.

It is almost unprecedented for members of the Dartmouth Alumni Council to be brought back for additional service after completing their regular terms of office, but this happened with you because the Dartmouth Alumni Fund especially needed your extraordinary service. You were chairman of the Dartmouth Fund in three campaigns and in those years — 1956, '57, '58 —a total of $2,248,000 was contributed under your leadership.

You have been a member of the Tuck School Board of Overseers, an officer of your Class of 1928, member of the Alumni Council, president of the Dartmouth Club of Central New York, and very active on the important work of interesting outstanding schoolboys in coming to Hanover.

Your son, Bill Morton Jr., was a backfield star on the Dartmouth football team of four years ago.

The Dartmouth Alumni Award is meant for men like you, Bill - a man who serves all of society including his College.
