New Fund Secretary

Charles E. Breed '51, for the past 11 years associate secretary of the Alumni Fund, has been named executive secretary, succeeding Clifford L. Jordan '45.

A native of Melrose, Mass., as an undergraduate Breed was elected to Sigma Xi, scientific honor society; served his fraternity Theta Chi as president; and became a member of the ski team. After three years in the Army officer corps, he earned a master's degree in geology at the University of Colorado.

He returned to the College in 1962 after working briefly as an oil geologist and later as a district insurance agent in Montana. In addition to his work with the Fund, he has served as secretary of the Alumni Council Class Giving Committee and, from 1968 to 1970, as editor of Fifty-OneMillion, a newsletter published during the Third Century Fund campaign.

The new Fund secretary, whose name will become close to a household word to alumni as successive spring campaigns roll around, is already a familiar figure to hundreds of reuning Dartmouth men and their teenage progeny. An impressive alter ego of the Breed of many talents is as impressario of Quintessence, a modern music combo whose music has rocked the campus from class tents during Reunion Week.

Jordan, under whose aegis the Alumni Fund has grown from $928,000 in 1957 to 53,245,000 this year, will continue as associate director of development, with special responsibilities for the annual giving campaign.
