1937
This special issue is the opportunity we needed to tell the world about the '37 women who have distinguished themselves for Dartmouth and the world. Marlene Putnam, wife of Hal, is achieving a national reputation as a portrayer of outstanding women. Her portrait of the astronaut, teacher Christa McAuliffe hangs in the high school in Concord, N.H., where Christa taught. Her portrait of Rosemary Barkett, the first woman justice of the Florida Supreme Court, hangs in the courtroom in Tallahassee.
Mary Fenn, wife of Fran, wrote the History of Parish and Town, the history of West Windsor, Vt., and also wrote articles for Vermont Life magazine. MiriamButterworth, widow of Oliver (Bud), always was an activist, served as chairperson of the Connecticut Public Utilities Commission for a number of years. She also had a stint as president of Hartford College for Women. Pat Olson, widow of Bob, had a career in the CIA before becoming a distinguished artist in the Washington, D.C., area.
Kendra Stearns O'Donnell, daughter of Kate and the late Kendall Stearns, is completing the 11th year as principal of Phillips Exeter Academy. She plans to retire at the end of the school year. Her sister Gretchen is a retired physician, now raising and riding horses in Hudson, N.Y.
Ellen Collis was a fulltime partner with Charlie in the planning and design process for Collis Hall, which has become an integral part of the Dartmouth campus.
President Freedman announced on October 15 the largest bequest ever received by Dartmouth, an $l8.1 million gift from the estate ..of the late Florence B. Moore, widow of Lansing, who died in 1990. "During their lifetimes, Flo and Lansing Moore were remarkable in their loyalty to Dartmouth," said Freedman. The Trustees will honor the Moore family by naming a new building, Moore Hall, to house the College's psychology department.
We remember the friendships that developed with Flo and Lanny on class trips and reunions. After Lanny's death, Flo continued the close association with classmates and honored in this way their love for Dartmouth.
