From the Dartmouth College website this afternoon (italics are mine):
Dartmouth will host a community celebration of the life of Eugene F. “Buddy” Teevens ’79 on May 18, in partnership with the Teevens family.
The celebration will take place at the Memorial Field athletic complex where, at a dedication ceremony in October, the stadium will be named the “Buddy Teevens Stadium at Memorial Field” in his honor. (Memorial Field will continue to honor students and alumni who lost their lives in wars.)
And . . .
The Board of Trustees recently approved the stadium name to honor Teevens, who was a mentor to hundreds of players and also brought innovative safety improvements to the game itself.
“Buddy had a national impact in making practices safer and reducing concussions, but he also was at the heart of what makes Dartmouth such a strong community,” says Trustee Chair Elizabeth Cahill Lempres ’83, Thayer ’84. “I know many of his players, teammates, and friends across generations will cherish the opportunity to remember and celebrate his life together.”
