Caroline M. Lind Caroline Lind ’02 initially played softball, basketball, and water polo and ran track at Andover. Following an injury that prevented her return to the softball field, Lind decided to try crew during her lower year; she was in the first varsity boat by the end of that year, and by 2000 she had secured a spot on the junior national rowing team. After Andover, Lind went on to Princeton, where she continued to row and earned a BA degree in anthropology. During her senior year, 6
she was named the C. Otto von Kienbusch Sportswoman of the year by Princeton’s athletic department and led the Tigers to an NCAA National Championship in crew. After graduating in 2006, Lind joined the U.S. women’s rowing team. In 2008, she won her first Olympic gold medal as part of the women’s eight boat in the Beijing Olympic Games; the team again won Olympic gold in the London games in 2012. Lind was the first Princeton rower to win multiple Olympic gold medals. She
also was a member of world rowing championship teams in 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011, and 2013. In 2014, Lind and other members of the 2008 Beijing Olympics women’s eight boat were inducted into the U.S. Rowing Hall of Fame.

Over the course of swimming the 100-yard backstroke in 33 dual meets, Noll never lost a race. He held the pool record at every prep school meet he swam in from 1963 to 1966 and was a threetime New England Interscholastic champion and record holder as well as an All-American. An Andover 8
varsity swimming award was named in Noll’s honor. Noll went on to participate in the 1964 Olympic trials and to represent Andover at an international swim meet at the Swimming Hall of Fame in 1965. He then attended West Point, where he swam and played water polo all four years. Following his West Point graduation, Noll participated in numerous triathlons and, in 1983, 1984, and 1985, he successfully completed the Ironman Triathlon in Kona, Hawaii, which
consists of a grueling 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile cycle, and 26.2-mile run. He has remained a leader in various athletic endeavors, ensuring the continued development of the triathlon as a sport and overseeing its inclusion in the 2000 Olympics. In 2008, he was inducted into the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame. Noll completed the Maui Channel Swim in September 2015 and continues to be active in the triathlon community, volunteering at the local, national, and international levels.

1918
William E. Stevenson Born in Chicago, William Stevenson came to Phillips Academy in 1914. He participated in both track and cross country and was chief of the fire and police squad and captain of ROTC. After graduating from Andover, Stevenson joined the U.S. Marine Corps. WWI ended before he was sent to Europe, so he enrolled in the class of 1922 at Princeton. While there, he became the 1921 AAU champion in the 400-meter race and also was named a Rhodes Scholar; he studied law at Oxford for two years. 10
In the 1924 Olympics in Paris, Stevenson set a world record (3.16.0) in the final leg of the 4x400 relay; his team won a gold medal in the event. At the same games, he also won a bronze medal in the steeplechase event. Stevenson returned home to New York, where he served as a district attorney. In 1931, he and three friends founded the law firm of Debevoise, Stevenson, Plimpton and Page, which still exists today. With the onset of WWII, Stevenson and his wife, Eleanor, joined the
American Red Cross and served in Great Britain, North Africa, and Italy. Both were awarded a Bronze Star for their service. After the war, Stevenson was named president of Oberlin College in Ohio and then appointed U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines under President Kennedy. Subsequently, he became acting head of the Adlai Stevenson Center on Democracy in Chicago and the Aspen Institute of Humanistic Studies in Colorado. He died in Florida in 1985.
