George Colton served on the Board of Trustees from 1972 until 1986. He was Vice President emeritus at Dartmouth when President Palamountain personally approached him to serve on Skidmore’s Board of Trustees after some failed fund raising attempts by the College. Colton was instrumental in organizing and implementing Skidmore’s Wide Horizon Campaign, which raised over $13 million, and which then spring boarded into the even more successful Celebration Campaign.
