Council Names Andres For Second Trustee Term

At its December 13 meeting the Dartmouth Alumni Council nominated F. William Andres '29 of Chestnut Hill, Mass., for a second five-year term as Trustee of the College, beginning in June 1970.

A partner since 1940 in the Boston law firm of Sherburne, Powers and Needham, Mr. Andres 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 Champlain College, Phillips Exeter Academy, Beaver Country Day School, and the Elizabeth Carleton House in Boston. He is also a trustee of the Suffolk Franklin Savings Bank and a director of six companies.

Among his 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 DCAC. He was secretary of the Class of 1929 for 25 years until 1954 and then served as its chairman until 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.

He was first elected to the Board of Trustees in 1963 to fill the vacancy created by the death of Orvil E. Dryfoos '34. He was elected to his first full term in 1965. During the past year he has served as one of three Trustee members and as chairman of the Dartmouth Campus Conference.
