HONORARY DEGREE CITATIONS

PATRICIA ROBERTS HARRIS Lawyer; Former Ambassador to Luxembourg DOCTOR OF LAWS

Born the daughter of a dining car waiter, professor of constitutional law, attorney, and practitioner of statecraft, probably no person alive knows better both the ills and the glory of this country. Those differences we call race combined in you a heritage of black and red and white; out of that heritage you have fashioned a human being who combines in extraordinary measure the highest attributes of insight and compassion, courage and integrity and a competence that is more than a match for what needs doing in the society you grace. The product of four universities, you have been a summa cum student, a picketer for civil rights, a YWCA worker, a government official, scholar, dean, and teacher. You have served your country as Ambassador to Luxembourg, as a mover of major civic causes, and most recently as a member of the President's Commission on Causes and Prevention of Violence.

Your deeds as well as your words tell us that the "correction of society's mistakes is the real justification of democracy" and, whatever else is in doubt, "the one thing that is crystal clear... is that we can make our system work fully when we want to." You have counselled us to witness "without self- consciousness ... the reality of the United States." Dartmouth is privileged to do that by awarding you her Doctorate of Laws, honoris causa.

GEORGE STANLEY MCGOVERN U.S. Senator from South Dakota DOCTOR OF LAWS

Son of a country minister in South Dakota, educated at Dakota Wesleyan, recipient of a Ph.D. from Northwestern, you felt that your calling was as a Professor of History. It would appear, however, that your destiny is not to teach history but to shape it.

During your twelve years in the Congress, you have been the champion of the small farmer, a spokesman for justice for the American Indian, an advocate of equal medical care for all citizens, a supporter of Federal aid to education, and a leader in the civil rights movement. As President Kennedy's Director of the Food for Peace program, you launched a personal "war against want." By touching the conscience of your fellow citizens, you have made hunger one of the great moral issues of our time.

During World War II you had a distinguished record as a bomber pilot. The experience of war in all its horrors caused you to dedicate your life to the goal of international peace. You have said that the highest patriotism is that which combines love for one's country with the willingness to oppose policies that are damaging the country. Your call has rallied the youth of the nation and has given them hope that some day all men may live in dignity and peace. We are proud to welcome you to the Dartmouth Fellowship with our honorary Doctorate of Laws.

THOMAS JAMES MCINTYRE '37 U.S. Senator from New Hampshire DOCTOR OF LAWS

You personify Dartmouth College's commitment to public service. A law- yer, mayor of your home town of La- conia, you were the first Democrat in New Hampshire to be elected to the Senate in thirty years, and the first ever to be reelected from New Hampshire.

You have earned a reputation for hard work, independence, and a willingness to take courageous stands on the toughest questions facing our society. You were an early and lonely spokesman for the protection of the environment. You are the champion of small businessmen. Your position on the anti- ballistic missile led to one of the great debates of our time. You even dared to match your dart board against the wizards of the mutual funds and your dart board won!

We are grateful to you for your help in establishing the first interstate school district. We are grateful to you, a collector of stamps, for bringing us in our Bicentennial Year the honor of the Dartmouth stamp. But, above all, we are grateful to you for doing your very best to represent the public interest - regardless of the consequences. By adhering to the basic values of decency and fairness throughout your career you have crossed that invisible line which separates the politician from the statesman.

Dartmouth is proud to count you, in this, perhaps your finest week, as one of her sons, and bestows upon you the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa.

JAMES TOBIN Sterling Professor of Economics, YaleUniversity DOCTOR OF LAWS

Your career bears witness that distinguished academic achievement may be the best preparation for public service. When you discovered that a Harvard degree entitled you to serve your country only on the lowest rung of the civil service ladder, you decided to improve your chances by moving to Yale. Your record there as Sterling Professor of Economics and as Director of the Cowles Foundation was so distinguished that when you returned to Washington it was as a member of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. When you protested to President Kennedy that you were an "ivory tower" economist, he simply said "that's the best kind" - a judgment you quickly justified.

Your colleagues have long honored you for your brilliant contributions to economic theory and econometrics. You have used these tools skillfully to fight superstition in the formulation of a national economic policy. Your incisive analyses of contemporary issues are continually cited in debates in the United States Senate. Indeed, you must be unique in having had one of your articles reprinted in its entirety in the Congressional Record - not once, but twice!

For your many contributions to the science of economics and for your role in shaping the nation's economic affairs, Dartmouth is proud to award you her honorary Doctorate of Laws.

ALAN FRANK GUTTMACHER President, Planned Parenthood-WorldPopulation DOCTOR OF SCIENCE

Son of a reformed rabbi and a distinguished social worker, your heritage was compassion for your fellow man. Since the accident of birth also made you an expert on identical twins, it may have been predestined that you should become an obstetrician and a crusader for family planning.

During your career at Johns Hopkins and Mt. Sinai Hospital you were forever the champion of woman's freedom to decide whether or not to have a child. You were firmly convinced that this freedom, and the resulting dignity, should be shared alike by rich and poor, by the educated and the illiterate. Faced with powerful opposition, you were encouraged by your twin brother and your friend, H.L. Mencken, to persist until the rest of the world caught up with your enlightened views. An athlete and ardent sports fan, you possess unlimited energy that has made you one of the most prodigious lecturers of our time. As president of Planned Parenthood- World Population you have circled — not to say "looped" - the globe repeatedly to bring medical knowledge to all peoples. You are truly the Johnny Appleseed of contraception.

Servant of society, selfless and courageous freedom fighter, foe of superstition, defender of the helpless, Dartmouth is happy to bestow upon you her Doctorate of Science, honoris causa.

JAMES AUGUSTINE SHANNON Special Assistant to the President,Rockefeller University;Former Director, National Institutes ofHealth DOCTOR OF SCIENCE

Born in Hollis, New York, educated at Holy Cross and New York University, you embarked on a career of medical research. Your important contributions to physiology, malaria control, and chemotherapy would have satisfied most human beings as a life fruitfully spent. For you, these served merely to prepare you for the role you were destined to play in our nation's history.

Your joining the staff of the National Heart Institute ushered in two decades of fantastic growth in medical research. You were soon recognized as one of the most vigorous and perceptive medical administrators, and your voice was one of the most respected in the halls of Congress. You identified and critically evaluated key research directions long before there was general awareness of them. Under your leadership the program of the National Institutes of Health increased 15-fold until it matched all other research into the principal killing and crippling diseases conducted in America. You instituted new training programs both to increase the pool of research manpower and to relieve the nation's critical shortage of physicians. You truly made NIH the world center for biomedical research and training.

This is an achievement which, in terms of service to bioscience and to humanity in general, is unmatched in the world today. Dartmouth proudly bestows upon you her honorary Doctorate of Science.

CHARLES GUY BOLTÉ Vice President, Carnegie Endowmentfor International Peace DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS

After a distinguished undergraduate career at Dartmouth, in the spring of 1941 you wrote an open letter to President Roosevelt setting forth the moral issues in the war against the Nazis. You, and two of your classmates, acted on your convictions by joining the British Army four months before Pearl Harbor. Seriously wounded at El Alamein, you returned to this country and founded the American Veterans Committee for men who were "citizens first and veterans second."

A Rhodes Scholar, staff member of our Mission to the UN, and publishing executive, you have devoted your life to the fight for permanent peace. The radioactive dust from the first atomic bombs had not yet settled when you called for international peace-keeping under world law. In your "Plan for Disarmament," and in many articles, you have used your eloquent pen to help bring this nation to the realization that atomic war is the ultimate threat to mankind. As Vice-President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, you are now giving all your remarkable gifts of heart and intellect to the fight for sanity in a war-torn world.

In grateful recognition of your efforts toward the creation of peace between nations, Dartmouth awards you its honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters.

WILLIAM AYRES ARROWSMITH Professor of Classics, University ofTexas DOCTOR OF LETTERS

A classicist trained at Princeton and Oxford, you have devoted your life to making education meaningful to men. You have succeeded in showing your contemporaries that thoughts from a brilliant mind and a feeling heart are relevant regardless of the passage of time. In a series of lively translations you have brought the classics to an ever-widening audience. The periodicals which you have helped to found present a challenge for new and pertinent ways of thinking. Your theory of the useful translation has caused critics to reevaluate their goals and the effectiveness of their methods.

You have in your own teaching exemplified the best a university can offer its students. At the same time you are one of the most outspoken critics of the shortcomings of the university. You have single-handedly taken on the academic establishment in mortal combat. A distinguished scholar, you have challenged the value of narrow and meaningless research. You have painted a picture of education ruined by lifeless teachers, dull books, and stultifying graduate curricula. You have challenged university presidents to play a role of leadership. You have even dared to attack that most sacred of all academic institutions - the department!

For your contributions to the study of the classics, and for your courageous call for the rejuvenation of higher education, Dartmouth College is pleased to award you the degree of Doctor of Letters, honoris causa.

KENNETH DUVA BURKE A uthor, Literary Critic DOCTOR OF LETTERS

When you dropped out of Columbia in 1918, you were already well on the way to a self-education which has resulted in an education for all of us. You must have known even then that you were seeking the degrees of language rather than the language of degrees.

Poet, literary critic, teacher, psychologist, philosopher, and linguist, you have taken as your life's study Man "the essentially symbol-using animal." A true philosopher of the word, you have used "language as a symbolic action" to expound "attitudes toward history" and through "permanence and change" gave us "perspectives by incongruity." You have rejected all traditional divisions of learning and freed yourself to see man's need for hierarchy in all his activities, and were led to your unifying perspective of Dramatism.

We honor your contributions "towards a better life" by the award of our degree of Doctor of Letters, honoriscausa.
