On Wednesday, February 4, the Dartmouth Club of Los Angeles gave a fond farewell to James O. Freedman as he made his final visit to the West Coast as President of the College. Freedman, a legal scholar and national spokesman for liberal education, announced in September that he would step down next June after 11 years as Dartmouth's 15th president to join the faculty of the College.
