A Dartmouth First
Alcoholics Anonymous
As
a junior in the Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity, Robert Smith '02 gained notoriety
for his ability to chug a bottle of beer without apparent movement of his
Adam's apple. By the time he entered medical school at the University of
Michigan, he was a serious alcoholic. In May 1935, Smith and a fellow drinker,
stockbroker Bill Wilson, formed the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. More
than two million recovering alcoholics now belong to A.A. in 134 countries.
