For service to Dartmouth College

For service to Dartmouth College, MilesCarter Strickland '29 (being congratulated by President Dickey) was honored with a Dartmouth Alumni Award at the dinner meeting of the Alumni Council in Hanover, January 29. In making the presentation James D. Landauer '23, Alumni Council president, read the following citation:

Following your undergraduate course at Dartmouth you started at the bottom of the ladder as clerk and salesman for paper and fiber container companies, moving steadily onward and upward to become Sales Manager of the Smith-Lee Company in Oneida, New York, in 1937, Vice President six years later, and after another six years President, Treasurer, and Director of the company.

Along with this outstanding business career you have done so much for your community and your area of New York State that all kinds of awards and honors have been showered upon your broad and rugged shoulders. Colgate University three years ago gave you its Civic Award for outstanding community service. The Oneida Hospital, the Public Library, the Board of Education, Boy Scouts, Red Cross, Community Chest, your County Branch of the American Cancer Society, St. John's Episcopal Church in Oneida, the Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce – all know the vigor, the talent, and the warmth flowing from the most precious assets a man can give to his fellowmen – his energy, his time, his personal service.

In Dartmouth affairs you have served as President of the Central New York (Syracuse) Alumni Club, as Head Alumni Fund Class Agent for your Class of '29, as President of the Dartmouth Alumni Council. Your wife, Mollie, and your two Big Green football star sons, Seth of the Class of 1960 and Carter of the Class of '62, are equally devoted to this College.

To you, Carter Strickland, our highest honor — the Dartmouth Alumni Award.
