DARTMOUTH ALUMNI AWARD

For service to Dartmouth College, Carleton G. Broer '27 was honored with a Dartmouth Alumni Award at the 50th Anniversary Alumni Fund Dinner held in Hanover on January 17 and attended by College Trustees and members of the Alumni Council. In making the presentation Council president Page Worthington '33 read the following citation:

It is better for us to drop some of the formalities and simply call you Coggy Broer '27. Then your many Dartmouth friends know that we are talking about one of the most devoted workers in the entire alumni body. You have always been a jeweler by trade in Toledo, but the full trays of brilliant gems that have distinguished your work for the College are among the finest displays in our entire showcase.

For example, you have served as president and secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Toledo, as Class Agent of 1927, and for ten years as secretary of your class. You have been president of the Association of Dartmouth Class Secretaries; and you received the award as the best class secretary of the year in 1960.

As a leading member of the Dartmouth Alumni Council you were chairman of a Council committee which created what came to be known as the Broer Plan of Class Organization, now being followed by all classes. You undertook this work nearly ten years ago by studying the organization of Dartmouth classes, and a thorough plan for broadening and tightening the form and content of the work of class officers was developed. It was a task that needed to be done and you were just the right man to do that important job.

You have many civic interests in Toledo that also benefit from your help. But we are pleased to honor you as a truly outstanding worker for the College with this Dartmouth Alumni Award.
