Class Note 1943
Issue
In a fitting tribute to President Kim’s first year on the job, The New York Times as well as other media have announced Dartmouth’s new Center for Health Care Delivery Science, which addresses the need to improve the quality of healthcare while lowering costs. The $35 million donated anonymously to this new center is being described as seed money. (Never did I think of $35 million as seed money, but what do I know.) The federal government has appropriated $10 billion for this type of research in the next decade and, to quote The Valley News, “If the stars are aligned as they appear to be a large influx of federal dollars [from the $10 billion] could be in the offing [for Dartmouth].”
Did you know that The Daily Beast, an online publication co-founded by editor-in-chief and former Vanity Fair and New Yorker editor Tina Brown, has recently rated Dartmouth No. 1 as doing the best job in crafting technology leaders?
Times are tough, so how has Dartmouth weathered the economic storm compared with some of its peers? The Dartmouth endowment is down 19.6 percent, Princeton down 23 percent, Yale down 24 percent and Harvard 27 percent—with the S&P down 28 percent.
Dartmouth football: It was reported on May 14 that the Big Green was feeling optimistic after a productive spring season. Coach Teevens is, “Very excited about where this whole thing is going.” How good a prognosticator is he? You’ll be reading this in the early football season. Good luck to the team!
I’m sorry to report the deaths of John R. Burleigh, Walter R. Daggatt, James D. Elleman, Charles W. Holsworth, David A. Schirmer and Conrad S. Young.
