A Very Special Wah Hoo Wah

President Dickey has two birthdays this month. He becomes 58 on November 4, just three days after reaching the 20th anniversary of his inauguration as the twelfth President of Dartmouth College on November 1, 1945.

John Dickey is not inclined to make much of his own anniversaries, but the editors are certain that Dartmouth men everywhere will look upon his completion of twenty years in office as an important event and as a fitting occasion to let him know of the warmth of their personal regard for him, the admiration they have for the remarkable quality and accomplishment of his leadership, and the deep appreciation they feel for the unsparing way in which he has thought and planned and worked to bring Dartmouth to a new level of excellence and educational effectiveness. The rich bounty of his twenty years of leadership is evident on all sides.

The regular Wah Hoo Wah column is not big enough to contain the resounding cheer for John Dickey that goes up from Dartmouth men around the girdled earth. We pay that tribute here, all by itself. And along with it the alumni body, 30,000 strong, can make no stronger pledge than to use John Dickey's own phrase: "We'll be with you all the way."
