1965
Happy spring! It's still duckboard season in Hanover and Exeter, but the promises of spring are all around. (In our prep school milieu those indicators are madras jackets, lacrosse sticks, and bicycles.)
Because Ted Bracken's newsletter has appeared since the last '65 column was printed I want to dwell on his efforts for a bit. It's extremely important that we all give a lot of thought to what he has said and to the format which he proposes for our Class Newsletter. I know that Ted is sincere in his ideas of what he would like the newsletter to be, but it will be up to us to make it work. I hope that many '65's will accept Ted's invitation to write and share their ideas and opinions about contemporary issues with their classmates.

Dartmouth's 1971 Alumni Fund has just opened with a goal of $2.5 million. Now that the successful Third Century Fund has ended we must remind ourselves of the importance of annual giving to the livelihood of the College. What we contribute each spring to the Alumni Fund is used to support ongoing programs at the college. scholarships, athletics, faculty salaries, etc.—in other words, Dartmouth is counting on the alumni for a significant part of its operating expenses. You'll hear soon from a classmate about participating in the '71 campaign. If you didn't give last year please do this time around; and if you were a donor in 1970 please consider increasing your gift—Dartmouth needs our help more than ever.
And when you get in a generous mood for the Alumni Fund stay in it long enougn to drop me a note—the news is getting thin Unless I hear from many of you next month's column will consist solely of the first chapter of Mike Buckley's new novel, which he is writing under the alias of Clyde Dietz.
Happy days and Peace!
