The only protest at Dartmouth's 219 th Commencement was laudable: many students wore white armbands in abhorrence of the Chinese massacres. Graduation manifested the viable contribution Dartmouth annually makes to national society and to world culture. Bachelor degrees were conferred upon 922 recipients (vs. 234 in 1922!).

Ray and Doris Atwood, Len and Margaret Morrissey attended the ceremony.
Twenty-two's progeny in '89 is Ann Kathryn Morrissey, daughter of John '50 and Jary, granddaughter of Len and Margaret. Ann majored in music and French. For four years she played the flute in the 100-member Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra and in the 47-member Wind Symphony. She enjoyed a term in France and belonged to Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. Asked by Gramp if she would do it again, she answered "Definitely, yes!"
Most sorrowfully, '22 has lost General Walter I. Miller who died May 28 in Peoria, ria, Ill. His obituary will follow.
Last, but certainly not least, heartfelt thanks to all donors classmates, '22 ladies, and other memorial contributors to the 1989 Alumni Fund. Final figures are not all in, but '22 has sustained its lifelong record of loyalty to Dartmouth. And for that, thank you again and again.
