Murdough Dedication
JUNE 1973

The Murdough Center, first major academic building to be constructed at the College since the Kiewit Computation Center in the mid-'60s, will be dedicated June 22.

Situated at the end of Tuck Mall and connecting the Thayer School and the Tuck School, Murdough Center stands as a physical and symbolic representation of, in President Kemeny's words, "the growing interdependence between the technological and managerial segments of American enterprise."

After a luncheon at the Dartmouth Outing Club, major donors and their families and guests will take a preliminary tour of the Center, which provides facilities for both graduate schools and their joint programs.

John W. Hennessey Jr., Dean of the Tuck School, will be master of ceremonies at the dedication ceremony, to be held at 3:30 p.m. in the courtyard, weather permitting. Thomas G. Murdough '26, the primary donor of the Center, will cut the traditional ribbon. Following the dedication, the guests will proceed to the auditorium, where President Kemeny will speak briefly on the new building and its significance to Dartmouth.

Student-led tours, open to the public, are scheduled from 4:30 to 5:30. Mr. and Mrs. Kemeny will receive official guests and faculty members in the garden of the President's House.

Thayer School Dean Carl F. Long will preside at a dinner in Alumni Hall. The speakers will be Stanley H. Feldberg '46 of Wellesley Hills, Mass., president of the Zayre Corporation and chairman of the Board of Overseers of the Tuck School: and William F. May of Chappaqua, N.Y., chairman of the Thayer School Overseers and chairman and chief executive officer of the American Can Company.
