Left to right: Prof. Fred Berthold Jr.— 45; Harry Hampton, Class Treasurer—'45; George Colton. Vice President of Dartmouth College — 35; F.liot S. Mover. Chairman—Class of 45; Joe Michael. Jr.—'45. More than two dozen members of the Dartmouth College Class of 1945 gave their lives in the nation's military service. In the late 1950's the class executive committee requested and received permission to memorialize those deceased classmates. A weather post on the Hanover Inn Corner was decided upon as the tribute giving a lasting reminder of what '45 had done to keep free and strong a voice crying in the wilderness. Nearly every 45’cr contributed to our weather post. It was dedicated in June 1959 on the occasion of our early fifteenth reunion by the Reverend Fred Berthold, '45. President John Sloan Dickey accepted it for the college. With replacement of the old inn structure, a redesigned and functionally-improved weather post was rededicatcd in October 1968. As song has it, the hill winds remember them.” Living members of Dartmouth '45 can never forget their departed classmates. We humbly recommend to those who follow that their deeds and memories be honored. Copyright 1970. Class of 1945, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire 2

HAIL . . JOHN G. KEMENY To the Class of 1945 Fellowship: I am very pleased to extend warmest greetings and congratulations to all 1945 men on the occasion of your 25th reunion. Mrs. Kemeny and I arc looking forward to seeing many of you and your families for the June 18-21 meeting. Since your 25th anniversary coincides with the end of our Bicentennial year and the beginning of the term of the thirteenth President, I would like to ask your Class for an opportunity to sit down together to talk about the future of Dartmouth College. I would particularly enjoy an opportunity to speak to the last of President Hopkin’s classes at Dartmouth for an exchange of ideas. I wish you well for your important reunion and I hope that I may play a small part in it. Sincerely, John G. Kemeny FAREWELL . . . JOHN SLOAN DICKEY ’29 John Dickey became Dartmouth's 12th President in 1946 after a distinguished career as a lawyer and in the Department of State. During his 25 years at the helm, Dartmouth's total assets grew from $31 million to $196 million, while Dartmouth's endowment rose from $22 million to’ $145 million. President Dickey introduced the innovative Great Issues course, rebuilt the Dartmouth faculty, retaining and recruiting first rate teacher-scholars. Under his leader-shipship the Dartmouth Medical School was refounded and he strengthened substantially the Tuck School of Business Administration and the Thayer School of Engineering. Graduate programs were also added in other departments, while still retaining the prime commitment to first rate undergraduate education. New facilities created new program opportunities under the Dickey leadership with Hopkins Center for the creative and cultural arts, the Kiewit Computation Center for computing and mathematics, and Levcrone Field House for athletics. All of these achievements and many more made it possible for Dartmouth to gain national rank and reputation as one of the nation’s outstanding liberal arts institutions, and brought President Dickey national acclaim as one of our foremost educational leaders and innovators. 3
