CLASS OF 1909
Anson McLoud is now associated with the firm of Baker, Winans, and Harden, 52 Wall St., New York city, members of the New York Stock Exchange.
Frank Austin, who is purchasing agent for the Boston and Albany Railroad, has been seriously ill for some weeks, but is recovering, and is expected back in his office by the middle of January.
Bull Hadden is western manager of the Thompson and Lichtner Company, engineers, with offices at 205 West Wacker Drive, Chicago.
Arthur White is director of the technical sales service of the Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Mich. Arthur has not been able to keep track of many of the fellows, as there are no Dartmouth men near him.
Dick Wing has evidently been abroad recently and seen our long lost Howland. Dick says: "Travelers in Berlin will find N. J. Howland in an impressive office in Unter den Linden; very dignified and some 30 pounds overweight. You can't drink German beer for twenty years and stay thin." We are not experts, but we would like to try and find out. Dick, by the way, is engaged in real estate development at South Dartmouth, Mass.
Taintor Parkinson writes: "For the past five and a half years I have been engaged in radio research at the U. S. Bureau of Stand- ards, trying to ascertain the causes of vagaries in the wild radio waves. These have led me a merry chase, involving measurements at all hours of day and night and in all kinds of places, not to mention arrest of the expedition on suspicion of bootlegging in a country cemetery at midnight. The numerous human contacts experienced while in educational work have been greatly missed since the change over to research, but the newer contacts are very fine and cover a considerable portion of the earth. Last fall it became my lot to go to Europe and become acquainted with the men engaged in radio research in Belgium, France, and England. I frequently see Sid Thompson and William Lamb, both of whom have changed so little in appearance as to be easily recognizable to one who has not seen them since college days. Lamb wears an appendage on his lip but that is no disguise. Sid is in the timber appraised section of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, and Lamb practices law here in Washington. Mark Smith, who was with our class for a time, is also here and, with the exception of an increase of probably fifty per cent in weight, likewise looks about the same as twenty years ago. Mark has been engaged in Interstate Commerce Commission work."
Bill Patterson is glad to be settled at his home at Burlingame, CaL, after seven and one-half years residence at Shanghai and Manila. We are trying to get Bill to write us of his experiences in the East.
Secretary, 100 Milk St., Boston
