Trustee nominations sought

The Dartmouth Alumni Council, at its November meeting, nominated Robert E. Field '43 and Ronald B. Schram '64 to serve second five-year terms as Alumni Trustees, beginning June 9, 1986. Both were elected to the College's Board of Trustees in 1981.

Field, a resident of Etna, N.H., has also been a member of the Thayer Board of Overseers since 1981 and of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Board since 1983. An honors graduate of Dartmouth, he went on to serve in the Navy and then earned a Tuck degree in 1947. That same year he joined the world-wide accounting firm of Price Waterhouse and Co. and was named a partner in 1959. He retired from the firm in 1982 and now holds the position of chairman of Elmer Little and Sons of Johnstown, N.Y. On Dartmouth's Board, Field chairs the Committee on Investor Responsibility and the Audit Subcommittee. He is vice chairman of the Executive Committee and also serves on the Committee on Alumni and Public Affairs and the Committee on Investments.

Schram, of Hingham, Mass., was also elected to the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Board in 1983. He is a partner in the Boston law firm of Ropes and Gray and a specialist in health care law and non-profit organizations. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the College, Schram as an undergraduate was president of Beta Theta Pi fraternity and the Interfraternity Council and a member of Palaeopitus, Green Key, the Undergraduate Council, and Sphinx. He earned a master's in economics from King's College, University of Cambridge, in England, and his J.D., LL.M., and S.J.D. degrees from the University of Michigan Law School, where he was the first recipient of the Humphrey Fellowship in Law and Economics Policy. He joined Ropes and Gray in 1970 and became a partner in 1978. His Dartmouth service has included president, newsletter editor, and reunion co-chairman for his class; president of the Dartmouth Club of Ann Arbor; and trustee of Beta Theta Pi and charter member of the Fraternity Board of Overseers. His Trustee committee assignments are Student Affairs, Alumni and Public Affairs, and Educational Affairs.

Unless other nominations for either or both seats are received within two months of this published report, the names of Field and Schram will go to the Board of Trustees as the nominees of the alumni. Following is the section of the Alumni Association constitution providing for Trustee nominations other than those put forward by the Council:

Within two months after such publication in the Alumni Magazine, any 250 members qualified to vote may file with the secretary of the Association a petition over their own signatures for the nomination as Alumni Trustee of an eligible alumnus. If one or more candidates is so nominated by petition, said secretary shall as soon as practicable after expiry of the period for nomination by petition send to each alumnus eligible to vote an official ballot containing the name of the alumnus nominated by the Council for the office of Trustee and the name or names of candidates nominated by petition as aforesaid. No vote by proxy shall be allowed in voting for Alumni Trustees, and the polls shall close on the May 15th before Commencement unless another date is specified by the executive committee of this Association.

If no candidate is nominated by petition as above set forth, no voting for Trustee shall take place, and the alumnus nominated by the Council shall be the candidate of the alumni for the office of Trustee.
