John Kemeny was a young professor of philosophy at Princeton when he welcomed a group of Smith students to a conference of the United World Federalists. The young women had lingered in New York and arrived at Princeton in the wee hours of the morning - to face Kemeny's ire at inconveniencing their elderly faculty hosts. His future wife, Jean, was one of the Smithies. "I didn't go back for my sophomore year at Smith," she wrote. "We were married that November, 1950." He was 23, she 19. "John and I were from two cultures, two countries," Jean reflected in her memoir, It's Different at Dartmouth. But it worked. "His loyalty is something I can absolutely depend on." They were married 42 years - 38 of them in Hanover. Their two children, Jennifer '76 and Robert '77, are both Dartmouth alumni.
