New Tucker Foundation Dean.

Charles F. Dey '52, Associate Dean of the College and the first director of the A Better Chance Program for disadvantaged boys, has been chosen to succeed the Reverend Richard P. Unsworth as the new Dean of the William Jewett Tucker Foundation. Dean Unsworth returns to Smith College as Chaplain next January.

Dean Dey, who had taught history and had been a resident housemaster at Phillips Andover Academy before coming to the College as Assistant Dean in 1960, will be the third Dean of the Tucker Foundation programs established in 1955 to further the ethical and religious concerns of the College. He is the first lay educator to be appointed to this post.

In announcing his choice of Dean Dey to head the Foundation's work, President Dickey said that in choosing a lay educator the College aimed both to emphasize the Foundation's institution-wide educational opportunities and to extend its religious role by bringing to the campus visiting ministers and theologians from a wide range of religious backgrounds for varying periods of residence.

Dean Dey, the President noted, will continue working with the ABC Program he helped establish and will develop other opportunities for undergraduates to apply their liberal learning in other areas of social concern.

"To be truly liberal," Dean Dey said in discussing the new duties he will assume later in the year, "an education must permit an undergraduate to test himself against the stark realities of hunger, ignorance, mediocrity, and sham; to find out how desperately the world needs his talents; to discover that to individual human beings he can make a difference; to reap the personal fulfillment that comes from putting his talents in the path of a significant enterprise."
