Marjorie and Herbert Chase 1930
The first-ever endowed coaching positions at Dartmouth College were for the men's and women's track & field teams, in honor of Marjorie and Herbert Chase 1930 who left much of their estate to the college.
“This is an important and generous gift,” said James Wright, the Dartmouth College President in 1998 when the endowment was announced. “Substantively, it will help to support our track & field programs. Symbolically, though, it underlines the important role that coaches have here as mentors and teachers.”
Herbert, a 1930 graduate of the college, moved to Etna following retirement in 1970. Long involved in college and class alumni activities, Chase became interested in the track program upon his arrival back in the Upper Valley and worked as a timer at many meets and trials during the indoor and outdoor seasons. He died unexpectedly while hiking on Smarts Mountain in 1979. Marjorie's interest in the program was also keen, and after Herbert's death she continued to support the porgram by way of several gifts, the most noteworthy being a state-of-the-art timing system.
“The Chases have made possible our first significant coaching endowment,” then-Dartmouth Director of Athletics Dick Jeager said. “It is a terrific way to combine loyalty, great generosity and enduring recognition in a way that has a major impact for Dartmouth athletics.”
