President-elect Philip J. Hanlon ’77 was given a warm welcome home on January 11, when he filled Spaulding Auditorium to overflowing. His Hanover visit was a great success; he will be returning to take over the president’s office in mid June.

Congratulations to George Shimizu for receiving the Congressional Gold Medal for his work with U.S. Army Intelligence during World War II.
Have you ever realized how small our prestigious graduate schools are? Total enrollments in 2909: Tuck, 532; Thayer, 234; Medical School, 411.
Congratulations to Interim President Carol L. Folt, named chancellor of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, effective July 1. She has been Dartmouth’s first woman interim president, and will become UNC’s first woman chancellor.

Count your blessings! Our class had 659 members, including transfers. Sixty-eight years later (scary) 166 of us remain (plus an few who have lost contact with the College). Of the 487 who have died, 23 lost their lives in WW II.
