The Cover

The Bicentennial Shields were created by John R. Scotford '38, College Designer, on a Year-by-year basis, to symbolize a few of the major annual highlights during the 15 years which culminated in the College's 1969-70 Bicentennial observance. A brief description of each shield follows:

1955—The Trustees Planning Committee was formed to chart the course of the College for the 15 years leading up. to Dartmouth's Bicentennial in 1969. Against the grid of latitude and longitude are mounted the points of the compass and a sextant—the tools of navigation.
