THE RARE PHOTOGRAPHIC CHRONICLE of President Eisenhower's informal June 24th 'lunch with a friend'. Scheduled for after commencement in 1955 Dartmouth President John Sloan Dickey's annual fishing party was to be held from June 24th to 28th. The fishing trip took place at part of the College Grant in Wentworth Location New Hampshire. On these trips he was accompanied by a number of prestigious members of Dartmouth's facility and staff and student members of the Outing Club. In the spring of that year the White House announced Dickey's old friend President Dwight D. Eisenhower would be making a speaking tour through Vermont New Hampshire and Maine. And since he would be passing within only a few miles of the Grant an invitation to lunch was sent to President Eisenhower and his entire entourage. This is the record in text and photographs of that very informal lunch with friends. Along with Eisenhower Dickey and crew from Dartmouth the meeting included former New Hampshire Governor and White House Chief of Staff Sherman Adams U.S. Senators Styles Bridges and Norris Cotton Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks and Congressman Perkins Bass. The text and the captions for the photos were prepared by Sidney C. Hayward Secretary of Dartmouth College and John A Rand Executive Director of the Dartmouth Outing Club. Photography was done by Adrain N. Bouchard College Photographer and Frank A. Pemberton Director of the Dartmouth News Service. Composition and printing was done by the Stinehour Press of nearby Lunenburg Vermont. For the Dartmouth College Grant by the Stinehour Press of Vermont hardcover
