Anne Neal, whom I had the distinct pleasure of meeting at Harvard’s Faculty Club last summer, is the president of a Washington-based group called the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. It’s a bipartisan watchdog group. Last year ACTA took an advocacy role in opposing the attempted promulgation of a new constitution at Dartmouth.

Yesterday, in an e-mail that circulated about, Ms. Neal chimed in on Stephen Smith’s historic win: “Stephen Smith’s election underscores that today’s alumni are concerned about what’s going on at their institutions. For years, Dartmouth alumni have been rightfully demanding input on critical issues facing their college.”

Sweet of her to add that note.
