Andres '29 Named Dartmouth Trustee; Sullivan '21 Reelected Board Member

F. WILLIAM ANDRES '29, Boston attorney, has been chosen by the Dartmouth Alumni Council to fill the vacancy on the Dartmouth Board of Trustees caused by the death of Orvil E. Dryfoos '34. Mr. Andres, whose election as an Alumni Trustee will be made official by vote of the Board, will serve out Mr. Dryfoos' unexpired term, ending June 30, 1965.

In another action involving Board membership, the Trustees at their Commencement meeting, June 14-15, elected John L. Sullivan '21 of Manchester, N. H., to a second full term of five years as Alumni Trustee. He had earlier been nominated by the Alumni Council to succeed himself. Mr. Andres' nomination took place at the Council's meeting in Hanover on June 21.

Mr. Andres, a partner since 1940 in the Boston law firm of Sherburne, Powers and Needham, has been prominent in Dartmouth alumni affairs for many years, and also has been active in educational and civic affairs in New England. He is a trustee of Bennington College and of Phillips Exeter Academy, where he is president of the alumni association, and he has been a trustee and president of the corporation of the Beaver Country Day School since 1944.

Mr. Andres is president and a trustee of Elizabeth Carleton House in Boston, a director and vice president of the General Communication Company, a trustee of the Suffolk Franklin Savings Bank, and a director of other corporations. He is a member of the Brookline Town Meeting and the Brookline Personnel Board, a former director of the Brookline Citizens Committee, and a former vestryman in his Episcopal Church Parish. He received his LL.B. degree from Harvard in 1932.

The recipient of a Dartmouth Alumni Award from the Alumni Council last January in recognition of long and devoted service to the College, Mr. Andres was a member of the Alumni Council in 1950-53 and again in 1959-61 while serving as chairman of the Athletic Council. He was secretary of the Class of 1929 for 25 years until 1954 and has been class president since then. He was secretary and then president of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Boston, and served as regional chairman for Boston in the Capital Gifts Campaign.

Mr. Sullivan, who began his second five-year term on July 1, maintains his legal residence in Manchester, N. H., but also practices law in Washington, D. C., where he is senior partner in the firm of Sullivan, Shea and Kenney. His Manchester firm is Sullivan and Wynot.

Mr. Sullivan held many important positions in Washington from 1939 until 1949. Beginning as assistant to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, he successively became Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Air, Under Secretary of the Navy and, in 1947, Secretary of the Navy in President Truman's administration. He resigned his Navy post in 1949 to return to the practice of law. That year Dartmouth conferred on him the honorary Doctorate of Laws. He holds other honorary degrees from New Hampshire, Duquesne, Loyola, and the University of Portland.

Mr. Sullivan has been president of the Class of 1921; a member of the Alumni Council, which he headed in 1950-51; and chairman of the Leadership Gifts Committee for the Capital Gifts Campaign. He is a director or trustee of many corporations and national organizations, including Aluminium Ltd., Glenn L. Martin Company, Loew's Inc., the Brown Company, National Savings and Trust Company, the Navy League, the USO, and Daniel Webster Council, Boy Scouts of America. In 1950 he served as national chairman of Brotherhood Week. His son, Charles M. Sullivan, is a member of the Class of 1962.
