As a Dartmouth Class of 1977, Tuck 80, I was extremely upset to learn that Dartmouth College was discontinuing the Swimming & Diving Teams. In my freshman and sophomore years I swam for Dartmouth . I was never a star, but by participating I benefited enormously in many ways. It was an integral part of the Dartmouth experience for me. I am sorry that future men and women are losing that opportunity and would ask you to reconsider your decision.

As a loyal supporter of Dartmouth and Tuck, I do not base my giving or support for the College on any one issue. I am writing simply to ask you to reconsider what I believe is a mistake. The smaller sports are in many ways more important to Dartmouth than the large revenue (and cost) sports. Surely there should be room at Dartmouth for Swimming and Diving.
