From all accounts the kick-off of the $425 million capital campaign at Lincoln Center, New York City, was a great success.

Many of you will remember Quentin M. Anderson, son of Maxwell Anderson, who spent his first year of college with us at Dartmouth.

He was an outstanding professor of English/humanities at Columbia for many years with several tours abroad as a visiting professor.
