Seventeen of us enjoyed a great mini-reunion, thanks to Ali Field. As usual one of the highlights was the Friday night dinner with a dozen or so Dartmouth Native American students. There were several speakers. Of special interest was the talk by undergraduate Nacole Walker ’11—recipient of the ’43 summer internship—about her efforts last summer to design a program to teach young Dakota Indians their native language.


And we finally have a football team!


Did you see the September 18 issue of The Economist? They listed the 10 best business schools in the world—Tuck was No. 2, behind the Booth School at the University of Chicago. (Tuck was No. 6 last year) 


Congratulations to Howie Leavitt on the publication of his book, First Encounters: Native Voices on the Coming of the Europeans, 42 first-hand accounts of the culture clashes from natives from the Azores to Japan. Google “firstencountersleavitt.”


Some interesting figures: Dartmouth had 18,778 applicants for the class of 2014; 2,165 were admitted; 1,800 were put on the waiting list (19 of these were ultimately accepted). A far cry from our day.


Sorry to report the death of Nancy Elliot, an honorary member of our class and the class of ’34. Some of you may have known her—she was director of alumni records and of special alumni services. The Dartmouth flag on the Green flew at half staff for two days in her honor.


A reminder: Obits now appear only online (there is just a name-only listing in the Alumni Magazine). You can read them at www.dartmouthalumnimagazine.com.
