President Beilock encourages Dartmouth community to submit names.
About 400 people gathered on the Green Saturday evening to remember Buddy Teevens '79, the Robert L. Blackman Head Football Coach, who died last week following injuries from a bicycle accident in March.
Among the attendees were Teevens' widow, Kirsten Teevens, their two children, grandchildren, longtime friends, current and former players, and Dartmouth President Sian Leah Beilock.
A moment of silence for Teevens was also held on Memorial Field before the kickoff on Saturday, the first home game, where Dartmouth defeated Lehigh, 34-17.
A New York Times obituary this weekend called Teevens a "pioneering" coach who "took the extraordinary step of banning tackling during all practices, which reduced concussions at a time when brain trauma in football had become a crisis."
Inauguration week activities culminated in the ceremony on Friday for Sian Leah Beilock, a cognitive scientist and Dartmouth's first woman president.
