Council Names Braden For Second Trustee Term

At its January meeting the Dartmouth Alumni Council nominated Thomas W. Braden '40 of McLean, Va., for a second five-year term as Trustee of the College, beginning in June 1969.

The youngest Trustee, Mr. Braden has served the Board as a member of the Committee on Alumni and Public Affairs, the Budget Committee, and the Education Affairs Committee. He is one of the three Trustee members of the newly established Dartmouth Campus Conference and is also a member of the Dartmouth Arts Council.

A former newspaper publisher from California, Mr. Braden now has his head-quarters in Washington. With Frank Mankiewicz he writes a syndicated column of news analysis appearing in newspapers nationwide. Keenly interested in education, he served six years as president of the California State Board of Education and inaugurated a campaign for higher teacher standards.

PROCEDURE FOR OTHER NOMINATIONS

Unless other nominations are received within two months of this published report, the name of Mr. Braden will go to the Board of Trustees as the nominee of the alumni for the vacancy on the Board. Following is the section of the Alumni Association constitution providing for Trustee nominations other than those put forward by the Alumni Council:

"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.
