Page 4 THE EIGHTH TRIBE January, 1977 chairman of the Committee on Equal Opportunity at Dartmouth. In his first months as President of Dartmouth Dr. Kemeny recommitted the college to its founding mission of educating a significant number of Indian Americans as part of Dartmouth’s Equal Opportunity Program. A native of Budapest, Hungary, President Kemeny came to this country in 1940, attended George Washington High School in New York City graduating in 1943 at the top of his class of 1,000. He was graduated summa cum laude in 1947 from Princeton University, from which he received a doctorate in mathematics in 1949. During World War II, while still in his teens, he interrupted his Princeton undergraduate studies for military service and was assigned by the Army to serve as a mathematician on the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos, N. M. Later, while doing graduate work at Princeton, he was selected to be a research assistant to Albert Einstein. He came to Dartmouth from Princeton, where he had taught both mathematics and philosophy, and his first appointment at Dartmouth was in both those disciplines. He is the author or co-author of 13 books, including “Introduction to Finite Mathematics,” which has sold 200,000 copies, “A Philosopher Looks at Science,” “Basic Programming,” and “Man and the Computer: A New Symbiosis,” published in 1972 by Scribner’s Sons. That book, his most recent, was based on the annual “Man and Nature” series of three lectures he gave in the fall of 1971 at the invitation of the American Museum of Science in New York City. Dr. Kemeny is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a charter and former member of the National Commission of Libraries and Information Systems, a trustee of the Foundation Center and of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and a member of the American Mathematical Society, Mathematical Association of America, and American Philosophical Association. He is also chairman for New Hampshire of the United Negro College Fund. He holds honorary doctorates from Princeton, Columbia, Boston College, the University of New Hampshire, and Middlehury College. He is married to the former Jean Alexander, an alumna of Smith College and previously of Cape Elizabeth, Me., and they have two children, Jennifer, and Robert, both undergraduates at Dartmouth College. Hungarian Wine Soup First Prize Winner In Ethnic Cooking Contest Gloria Acheson pours the wine, a key ingredient in her outstanding recipe for Hungarian Wine Soup. A heritage of 1,200 exotic recipes were received in the Pittsburgh Press Ethnic Recipe Contest held recently. Top winner was MRS. GEORGE E. ACHESON, for her HUNGARIAN WINE SOUP. “My late Father, George Szecskay, learned how to prepare wine soup when he was a student in Budapest. After mother and he married, he taught her how to make the soup. I am glad mother taught me,” says Gloria Acheson. Family heritage predominated the life of her family, Mrs. Acheson recalls. Her mother and father helped dedicate the Hungarian Room of the University of Pittsburgh’s famous Nationality Rooms. Here is the award-winning recipe.
