More well deserved recognition for Chick Koop, who will receive this year's Harry S. Truman Award for Public Service on May 6 at the Truman Library and Museum in Independence, Mo. Mayor Barbara` Potts of Independence announced the choice, noting that Dr. Koop educated the public on the dangers of smoking and stressed education as the best defense against AIDS. Chick also received the Daniel Webster award for distinguished public service at the Dartmouth Club of Washington's annual alumni dinner on January 18, 1990.

Our bequest co-chairs, Chuck Bassett,Frank Robin, and Ruth Ray, are to be congratulated for a six-month report ending January 18, 1990, which shows ten additions totaling $251,564 to the Bequest & Trust Program. President Fran Fenn said this is an indication of devotion and confidence that certain members of the '37 family have in the programs of the class and their College.

Kenneth C. Cramer, archivist for the College, wrote Russ Stearns that Stephen P. Brown, class of 1991, has accepted the position of student intern to assist the College Archives in completing the processing of the papers of recent Dartmouth College presidents. "The funding for Brown's work is coming from the thoughtful contribution of $1,500 donated by the class of 1937. The College Archives is most appreciative of the interest and generosity shown by the class to assist the Archives in making the papers more accessible for our needs," Cramer said. You will recall that at the class officers meeting on April 29, 1989, the report of the class project committee recommended that the class support the Archives project. The class officers approved the idea and now the program is underway.
