Class Treasurer of the Year

Edward Stickney Brown Jr. '34 was named Class Treasurer of the Year at the meeting of class officers in Hanover May 5. With the award went this citation:

What are the qualities of the strong class treasurer? Class solvency, money in the bank, and favorable statistics on dues-payers and Alumni Magazine circulation are parts of the equation; but beyond all the figures is the contribution the treasurer makes to the leadership of the Class and to its ongoing strength.

For anyone who wants us to cite a specific example, we point to you, Ed Brown. You have served as 1934's class treasurer for nine years and during that period you consistently have been outstanding, maintaining your averages even when dues jumped to a much higher level, building up your reserve fund to its present robust state, and providing the Class with funds for its memorial book program and other activities beyond the routine. For the Dartmouth Class Treasurers Association you served as executive committee member for two years and as president in 1968-69.

As professor of civil engineering at the Thayer School, you provide 1934 with a fortunate Hanover focus for its activities and can always be counted on to do what needs doing. Hanover also has availed itself of your conscientious competence, electing you a Selectman and relying on you as Public Health Officer and chairman of its Planning Board and Zoning Board of Adjustment. Dartmouth College, the State of New Hampshire, and the U. S. Public Health Service likewise have known you as a good man to be given important things to do.

In both tangible and intangible ways you have faithfully served the Class of 1934 and thus made still another contribution to the larger welfare of Dartmouth College. In recognition of this, it is our pleasure to honor you as the 1972 Dartmouth Class Treasurer of the Year.
