Andres Nominated for Full Board Term

THE Dartmouth Alumni Council, at its January meeting in Hanover, nominated F. William Andres '29 of Boston to serve a first full term of five years on the Dartmouth Board of Trustees. Mr. Andres is presently serving a partial term of two years, having been nominated by the Alumni Council and elected by the Board following the death of Trustee Or- vil E. Dryfoos '34. His nomination for a full term will go before the Board for final action in June.

Mr. Andres is now serving as chairman of the Trustee Committee on Buildings and Grounds and he also is a member of the Board's Committee on Alumni and Public Affairs and an alternate member of its Executive Committee.

A partner since 1940 in the Boston law firm of Sherburne, Powers and Needham, he has been a leader in Dartmouth alumni affairs for many years and holds distinguished positions in education and civic life. He is a trustee of Bennington College and of Phillips Exeter Academy, where he was alumni association president, and since 1944 he has been a trustee and president of the corporation of Beaver Country Day School.

Mr. Andres is president of Elizabeth Carleton House in Boston, and formerly he was a director of the Brookline Citizens Committee and a member of the Brookline Town Meeting and the Brookline Personnel Board. He is vice president and a director of General Communications Company.

Among his many Dartmouth alumni activities, Mr. Andres was a member of the Alumni Council in 1950-53 and again in 1959-61 while serving as chairman of the Dartmouth College Athletic Council. He was secretary of the Class of 1929 for 25 years until 1954 and then served as chairman until his election as a Trustee in 1963. He was secretary, and later president, of the Boston Alumni Association, and was Boston regional chairman in the Capital Gifts Campaign, 1957-59. In January 1963 the Alumni Council honored him with a Dartmouth Alumni Award.

According to the constitutional provisions of the Alumni Association, the responsibility for nominating Alumni Trustees rests with the Alumni Council. Provision is made, however, for further nominations by alumni at large by means of announcement in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE of any vacancy on the Board of Trustees and of any nominee chosen by the Alumni Council. The constitution further provides:

"Within two months after such publication in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE any one hundred alumni qualified to vote for the Council of Alumni may file with the said secretary a petition over their own signatures for the nomination of a qualified alumnus for the office of Alumni Trustee. Said secretary shall, as soon as practicable after expiry of the period for nomination by petition, send to each alumnus qualified to vote, an official ballot containing the name of the alumnus nominated by the Council for the office of Trustee and the name or names of candidates nominated by petition, as aforesaid. No voting by proxy shall be allowed in voting for Alumni Trustees.

"If no candidates are nominated by petition as above set forth, no voting for Trustees shall take place, and the alumnus nominated by the Council shall be the candidate of the alumni for the office of Trustee."
