A MESSAGE FROM THE 1965 FUND CHAIRMAN

(Mr. Thompson, who was elected last June by the Alumni Council to serve as Chairman of the Alumni Fund Committee for 1965 and 1966, is Chairman of the Board of Textron, Incorporated of Providence, Rhode Island and a member of the Class of 1928. Before joining Textron in 1956 he was active in banking, serving as President of the Providence National Bank and as executive vice president of the Providence Union National Bank and the Industrial National Bank. Long active in Dartmouth alumni affairs, he is a past President of the Rhode Island Alumni Association and currently is a member of the Board of Overseers of Tuck School, Chairman of the executive committee of the General Association of Alumni and a member of the Dartmouth Alumni Council.)

The previous pages detail the truly remarkable results achieved in the 50th Anniversary Campaign of our Alumni Fund under the imaginative and superbly dynamic leadership of Charley Moore '25. It is difficult to fully comprehend or appreciate the magnitude of this new level of achievement by the Fund, and even more difficult to envision what the next two campaigns hold in store.

I am clear that as your Fund Chairman my prime concern is to preserve the great traditions and strengths which have gone into the past fifty campaigns, while seeking other means of keeping our Fund growing as the College develops. An Alumni Fund Study Committee, which has been working during the past year, is now making its report and recommendations to the Fund Committee and the Alumni Council. From this report will come some very helpful material for charting our future course.

I pledge to all Dartmouth men my very best efforts as your chairman for the 1965 and 1966 Campaigns. I ask in return your continued help and support, for working together we can and will continue the Alumni Fund as Dartmouth's priceless heritage and the solid rock upon which our College can continue to build toward the bicentennial and her bright future.
