FREDERICK FRANKLIN STOCKWELL '43

Reliable sources report that one of the fringe benefits of a recent European trip was your discovery. of a learning process which would have improved greatly your grades in Spanish 5 and 6. You found it easy to become fluent in German by putting on a loden coat, sticking a chamois brush in your Bavarian hat, and joining the natives in a Munich beer hall Saturday night frolic. With frequent jas, neins, bittes, dankes, and schons, generous hand gesticulations, and some seidels of bier, your communications progressed through the evening from poor to augezeichnet. It is rumored that now you are an ardent supporter of the Dartmouth Foreign Study Program.

You may not be recognized anywhere today as a linguist, but you are widely known in New England for your professional and civic activities. After some years with the Air Force in the South Pacific and as an insurance broker, you entered your present field of industrial real estate in which you have served as executive committee member and director of national and local associations. You are a director and trustee of several corporations and financial institutions and a vice president of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. Your civic service ncludes board membership of Goodwill In- dustries and Massachusetts Bay United Fund, and in 1969-70 you were president of the Greater Boston YMCA.

Fred, you are a distinguished representative of the middle of three generations of Stockwells at Dartmouth, your father '17 and your son '74. Your service to the College began while you were an undergraduate and has continued to grow since leaving Hanover. You were class secretary, president of the Mystic Dartmouth Club, secretary and later president of the Boston Alumni Association, and were honored in 1960 as the Club President of the Year. You were a member of the local Executive Committee of the Third Century Fund and of the Alumni Council in 1961-64 - a notable record.

The College is grateful for the leadership of men like you in commerce, public service, and in Dartmouth affairs.

In lasting appreciation of your achievements and continuing loyalty, it is an honor to give you the Dartmouth Alumni Award.
