I am not a Dartmouth grad, but I have strong feelings regarding the great value of this type of program.  Over the years, my longest lasting friendships have come from my association with the track team at the University of Michigan. I have friends all over the world who date back to those days in the 1950s. 

 

I hope you will reconsider your decision.  Past and future participants will profit immensely from such a reconsideration.

 

Thanks for listening to me.
