President Dickey's Statement

It is Dartmouth's great good fortune, and genuine happiness for me personally, that an outstanding member of our community is to be the next President of the College.

Professor Kemeny knows well both the educational world and this campus and both have the highest regard for him as one of America's foremost teacher-scholars. He has served Dartmouth with singular distinction as a teacher, as the founder of today's fine Department of Mathematics, and as the moving spirit in establishing here one of the nation's pioneering computer centers.

He is widely acquainted among the alumni and he has been one of the most effective workers in the current Third Century Fund campaign.

Professor Kemeny has long since demonstrated his devotion to this College and I make bold to assure him that all sectors of the Dartmouth community will make a response in kind to his leadership. It will be a high privilege of Mrs. Dickey and myself to be a part of that response to the thirteenth President and his wife.
