The most prolific scorer in Dartmouth history, Jim Barton, owns 2,158 career points—500 more than the next Big Green player and second only to Princeton’s Bill Bradley in Ivy League lore. As a freshman in 1985-86, he reaped Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors, while leading the nation with a .942 free throw percentage. That mark remains the second-highest ever by a Division I freshman and 17th all-time in NCAA annals.
 
Barton led the Ivy League in free throw percentage in each of his four seasons and paced the League in scoring as a junior in 1987-88 (23.9) and as a senior in 1988-89 (21.7) en route to back-to-back First Team All-Ivy accolades. He still holds Dartmouth records for three-point field goals made in a season (98) and career (242); field goals made in a game (18) and career (761); and points in a game (48), season (636) and career (2,158). He also ranks among the career top-20 in NCAA history in both free throw (.895, 15th) and three-point (.455, 17th) percentage.
 
Barton graduated from Dartmouth College with a bachelor’s degree in history in 1989 and currently serves as principal and head of portfolio risk management at Southeastern Asset Management. He is a member of Dartmouth’s Wearers of the Green, essentially Dartmouth’s athletics hall of fame, having been inducted in 2004.
