Class Vice President John Seibert writes: “We are all aware that institutions of higher education are under attack. I was pleased to see Dr. Paxson, in association with 200 other college presidents, following Harvard’s lead in pushing back. As an emeritus associate dean of Dartmouth Medical School, I am also pleased that 300-plus Dartmouth alumni have urged the administration to fight for free speech on campuses. We ’54 graduates are all now ‘in the front pew’ and perhaps as the ‘elders’ are in a reasonable position to rally other classes in support of Brown’s administration, faculty, programs, and above all, students. I believe that it could be helpful if we who represent the Class of ’54 met with one another and with someone from the administration to consider what action we might take that would be supportive.”
