Class Note 1943
Issue
Dartmouth responded to the Haitian disaster in a big way. Students raised $185,000 for Partners in Health (PIH), the medical group founded in 1987 by Dartmouth President Kim and Paul Farmer that has 11 clinics in the Haitian countryside. PIH became vitally important after the earthquake because its units were largely untouched and the medical centers in the city were almost all destroyed. The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center sent more than 20 medical personnel and more than $200,000 in medical supplies and equipment. Further, an undetermined number of Haitian students will be coming, free, to Dartmouth.
The Winter Olympics had nine Dartmouth participants representing Canada, Bermuda and New Zealand as well as the USA. The College has been represented in every Winter Olympics since 1924.
A total of 65,174 contributors—among them about 70 percent of alumni—raised $1.3 billion in seven years. Much of that money—like most of the endowment itself—was earmarked for specific uses such as College facilities or to increase the endowment, thus making it illegal for Dartmouth to invade principal for operating expenses.
The snowless Dartmouth Carnival took place as scheduled, but skiing events were moved to Stowe. The interesting “Coliseum” in the center of the Green looked weird surrounded by brown grass. Hanover’s snow is now 17 inches below last year’s snowfall.
I’m sorry to report the deaths of Russ Smith and Bob Fuiks. You doubtless noticed the new obituary policy in the last and this current DAM. From now on full obituaries will not appear in the magazine but will be available at www.dartmouthalumnimagazine.com. You can also call the magazine at (603) 646-2256 and request a paper copy of the online obituary.
