FROM THE HOMEPAGE: Commencement 2015Excerpt from the June 2015 issue of 53 OUT Sunday, June 14th brought over 12,000 parents, friends, family members, Dartmouth alumni and interested souls to Hanover for the commencement ceremonies. Dartmouth awarded 1,868 total degrees including 1,193 Bachelor of Arts; Geisel Medical School 88 Doctor of Medicine; 40 Master of Public Health; Thayer Engineering School 83 Bachelor of Engineering; 52 Master of Engineering; Tuck School 276 Masters of Business Administration and other specialized master and doctorate programs. There were 102 new members inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. Those in attendance heard inspiring words from New York Times Columnist David Brooks and provocative and sound advice from our President Philip Hanlon 77. Graduates in the Class of 2015 came from 48 states and 32 countries. I am sure there were several grandchildren from members of the Class of 1953 that I do not know of, but I do know that classmate Bob and Carol Henderson were there to celebrate the graduation of their granddaughter Morgan Henderson 15. She is the daughter of Peter Henderson 86. For your reference, I have attached a link to David Brooks address and President Philip Hanlons comments. |
