A Class Act

The volunteers from Harvard club schools and scholarships (S&S) committees who recruit and interview potential undergraduates play an important role in helping the admissions office select talented and diverse classes. The admissions office, in turn, annually honors outstanding volunteers with the Hiram S. Hunn Schools and Scholarships Award, itself a tribute to an alumnus who interviewed applicants for 30 years in Iowa and 25 years in Vermont.

This year's Hunn Award winners are:

Dunbar Carpenter '37, of Medford, Oregon, first recruited as an interviewer in 1965, who ranges over "the great expanse of southern Oregon and the outer reaches of northernmost California";

Dorothy Fisher Kimball '47, of New York, who joined S&S ranks in 1976 and has chaired a sub-committee for 20 years;

Helen (Cutter) Maclennan '57, of London, who, as the chair of her club's S&S committee since 1994, has organized the interviewing of the 150 or so applicants from the United Kingdom each year;

Dorothy (Morrissey) Oehmler '57 and Richard M. Oehmler '56, M.B.A. '60, of Huntington, N.Y., who have been interviewing for more than 30 years in Dallas and on Long Island, and have also served as president and director, respectively, of the Harvard Club of Long Island; and

Robert K. Weary '43, J.D. '48, of Junction City, Kansas, active for decades in western Kansas, and especially astute at finding fine rural students for the College.

The awards will be presented on October 29 at the annual fall meeting of regional S&S directors.
