Hank Paulson '68, current CEO of Goldman Sachs, was named Secretary of the Treasury this moring by President Bush. His nomination comes as part of the ongoing overhaul of the President's cabinet. Paulson is one of the first true Washington 'outsiders' to be brought into the fold.
During his time at Dartmouth, Paulson was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and a star running back for the football team.

I think he played O-Line...and is on our All-Time Team.
New Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson '68 was a star offensive tackle, not a running back, while at Dartmouth.
From "Dartmouth's All-Time Football Team" article found at http://athletics.dartmouth.edu/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/101504aad.html
"Hank Paulson '68 -- OT, 6-1, 198 -- A contrast in size to Brian Larsen, Paulson became a starter as a sophomore on Dartmouth's undefeated team in 1965 when he led the Green in minutes played. A three-year starter on teams that were 23-4-0 from 1965-67, Paulson played with near-flawless style and was an All-Ivy, All-New England and All-East first team choice in 1967. He also gained All-America mention and was named an NCAA Scholar-Athlete as a senior."
Paulson was an offensive tackle! All the more impressive. Recognized on our all-time team.
I was reading online, and the Capital Research Center did a newsletter about Hank Paulson was the Chairman of The Nature Conservancy.
