Eaton Succession

Our club was started in 1876 as “The Dartmouth College Association at Washington D.C.” Only three regional clubs were started before ours: Boston (1864), New York (1866) and Cincinnati (1875). The first club president was General John Eaton ’54 who served for eight years. Since then there have been over 60 club presidents in the Eaton succession. We are grateful to Rauner archive librarian Barbara Krieger for compiling the list from historical records. Only a few gaps remain.
