1930
We join many others in expressing our sorrow at the passing of 1930 Fellow Carl Sagan at age 62, a great scientist and great person, and undoubtedly one of the best of the distinguished recipients of 1930 Fellowships.
Many have expressed to us the view that of 193 o's various contributions to Dartmouth, none will have the place in history that the 1930 Fellowship Program has attained. We have been fortunate both in the stewardship of the fund, which approaches half a million, and in the administration of the program, which continues to bring speakers of real distinction to the campus. It is occasionally pointed out that with even a modest increase in the fund, great improvements could be made in the program, but we've been reluctant to campaign for more funding, for fear that it would reduce our Alumni Fund contributions. However, there is one very easy way for you to enhance the Fellowship Fund without spending a nickel: a bequest. Just a stroke of your pen. I'm doing it, and I hope you'll join me.
I'm sorry to report that GarvenDalglish has been obliged for health reasons to give up his work as class necrologist. I've not heard this from Garven, but the Magazine received a note saying that he is unable to continue writing obituaries. I take this occasion, as I have before, to express my appreciation for the ten years of service he has given the class, with little recognition—not even a byline. And I'm pleased to be able to report that a minimum of arm-twisting brought a new necrologist on board, Ed Weinstein. I make one suggestion to make things easier for Ed: Don't die!
Only one classmate responded to our November plea for "women of our class." That was Harrison Condon, who makes the point that it should be "The Woman," not women. And I agree with Harrison that our outstanding woman is Liz Doherty, who, as long as she was able, attended every Reunion and mini, kept in touch with the 1930 widows, and was a major factor in our fundraising. There's only one Liz.
