DARTMOUTH COLLEGE HANOVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE  03755 THE PRESIDENT September 14, 1999 Mr. P. Burton Gray President, Dartmouth Class of 1979 6 Tomlinson Court Cabin John, MD 20818-1329 Dear Mr. Gray: I am pleased to extend my thanks to the Class of 1979 for your generous gift to Dartmouth Bound. This program continues to be an important resource as we encourage students from diverse backgrounds to consider applying to Dartmouth. Bringing them to campus is a valuable step in our recruiting process, and I appreciate your ongoing help. Students from different life experiences strengthen the educational experience of all our students. That is why Dartmouth is committed to a need-blind admissions policy and why the College works hard to cast a broad net for admissions. Through Dartmouth Bound, the Class of 1979 is a partner in these efforts. Thank you for making such a valuable contribution to your alma matter. As your 20th reunion approaches, I am sure I will have plenty of opportunities to express my gratitude to your classmates. Susan and I look forward to meeting many from the class of '79 next June. Your support means a lot to Dartmouth. Thank you. Sincerely, James Wright Cc: William H. Mitchell, Treasurer, Class of 1979
