Education

McLaughlin earned his A.B. from Dartmouth College in 1954 and his M.B.A. from the

student organizations such as Green Key, Palaeopitus, Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and Casque and Gauntlet.[1] He was voted as the student holding "the greatest promise" out of his undergraduate class.[3]

Dartmouth presidency

McLaughlin joined the Dartmouth board of trustees in 1971 and became chairman in 1977. The trustees conducted a national search for the successor to then-president John Kemeny before deciding to elect their own chairman to the role in 1981.[2]

McLaughlin's tenure as president saw growth in many areas of the college. Several new campus facilities were constructed, including the Rockefeller Center,

Dartmouth Medical School—grew and strengthened during this time.[1]

Reflecting his business background, McLaughlin more than doubled Dartmouth's endowment,[3] which reached a new high of $521 million. He increased faculty salaries by 43 percent over a five-year period.[1]

Dartmouth experienced political unrest and protests under McLaughlin. In 1985, the college drew national attention when a group of students affiliated with conservative newspaper

Reserve Officers Training Corps program.[3]
