Our insurance members are coming into prominence. Pineo Jackson was elected president of the Norwich Union Indemnity. He had a very nice write-up in the Insurance Age Journal recently.
"Sink"—otherwise known as George C. Sin- clair—is one of the two new appointees of the Metropolitan Casualty Co.
A rumor to the effect that James Colgan has bought a diamond ring has been verified. However, Jim is not wearing it, and the name of the lucky girl apparently isn't published as yet. More later.
Carol Coleman, daughter, born to Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Coleman, February 13.
Elizabeth Williams, daughter, born to Mr. and Mrs. Rusty Williams, March 11.
Gay Gleason has been sojourning in the Brookline Contagious Hospital with a mild case of scarlet fever.
Jim Everett is just back from another trip to his company's branch in Peru. It seems to some that Jim's trips are rather frequent, and there is speculation as to whether Jim has fallen for some southern senorita.
Ken Phillips is still writing for OutdoorAmerica. In January he had a very interesting story about a rabbit hunt, instead of one of his usual duck shooting tales.
We can't report all of Ben Williams' stories. A lot of us enjoyed his "No Thoroughfare" in the Saturday livening Post recently. Ben has been spending some time in Washington recently, so it is understood the nation is safe for another year.
A recent notice to one of our C.P.A. members listed J. Whitney Richmond, assistant vice-president of the Irving Bank-Columbia Trust Co., as the principal speaker at one of their meetings in New York.
Bill Deering, our classmate from Saco, Me., recently occupied a high position in New England Rotary circles through serving as a member of the special committee which conducted investigations and made plans for redistricting the New England clubs.
James W. Ingalls has been promoted from assistant professor to associate professor of civil engineering at Northeastern University, Boston.
The following is taken from a letter of March 1 from Harold W. Robinson, written from Paotingfu, China: "I am trying to put Dartmouth on the map out here in China, and the attempt has met with considerable success. We now have in Hanover a committee composed of five members of the faculty, the graduate secretary of the D.C.A., and the students' chairman of the. Dartmouth-in-China committee, and a portion of the money which is raised in Hanover for the community chest is assigned to the work here in China. At a time when government schools in China -are greatly handicapped because the military authorities hog all the finances, this educational project is meaning much to Chinese students. In spite of the chaotic conditions in China I believe this nation is to play an important part in world affairs during the coming generation, and any educated man will do well to familiarize himself with the events that are taking place here. The tariff conference and the international commission which is investigating courts, laws, and prisons in China to see if the time has come to do away with extraterritoriality are both sitting in Peking, and the former has been estimated by authorities on international questions as being on a par with the Locarno conference as a step toward better international relations. . . . Our schools managed to keep going last semester when the government schools were all closed, but as the second semester is just beginning today it is rather doubtful if some of the students will come back. The railroads have been seized by the military, and are almost useless so far as civilians are concerned. ... I have not seen much of Dartmouth men since I came back to China about a year ago. We have an alumni association in North China, and a few years ago had some fine get-togethers in Peking. I received a letter recently indicating that an attempt is being made to start something again and I hope it will be possible to do so. Ed Meleney is in Peking with the Rockefeller Hospital, but I have not seen him since he came back from America and Europe last November. Frank was here for a while, but I understand he is not coming back to China."
Secretary, 40 Florence Ave., Norwood, Mass.
