Class of 1916
Thistle, Burnham, & Company at 60 Broad St., New York City, gives you the present connection of our former class treasurer. This partnership has been formed to deal in general investment securities. If you have a few thousand hanging around in a strong box get in touch with Percy before you are listed as a hoarder.
Another partnership—Emilie Robert to Wilberforce Sully Jr. on March 9 in New York City. After May first they will be at home at 235 East 22d St., New York. Congratulations.
I have just received a most interesting copy of an address delivered by Reg Chutter on March 23 before the Foreign Trade Round Table of the Wharton Alumni Institute of Business, University of Pennsylvania. The subject—"Should We Develop a National Foreign Trade Policy and If So, How?"
At recent gatherings of alumni associations in different sections of the country we find 1916 represented as follows: in Cleveland, Fletch Andrews, Carl Holmes, and myself of Cleveland and Bill McKenzie of Akron; in Boston, Gran Fuller, Bill Mott, Bert Phinney, and Gil Tapley. At this meeting Bob Burlen was 'elected a member of the executive committtee. At the Northern New Jersey meeting Bones Joy, Bill Banton, and R. A. Lawrence were present. Bones Joy entertained the group with some very fine piano work.
On the week-end of March 12 Cleveland was honored with a visit by Ed Knight in the capacity of a judge at the annual dog show. Open house was held at the Pelletier domicile Sunday, and among those to drop in to see Ed were the McKenzies of Akron, Ruby McFalls, John Cremer, and Vince Smith 'l7, though Ed had left when Vince arrived. No reports of riots issued from the show, so it is safe to assume that Ed did his work well.
From Stamford, Conn., comes word from Max Spelke that a second child had arrived—a red-haired boy—to make one prospect for Smith and one for Dartmouth. Reports Bub Brundage recently married—who knows anything about this? George E. Clark, W. D. Fleming, Derrill and residing on "Pawk Avenue."
Phil Stackpole is a Montclairian by night and a New Yorker by day. Is with Chase Harris Forbes of New York City and has been ever since the war. Took time out in 1929 to spend some of his profits on a European trip with his family. Phil never sees any of the class any more—all of which goes to show that there is a splendid opportunity for some of you New Yorkers to sit around a bit and see if the class delegation in the vicinity could not be gathered together once in a while.
At the Northern New Jersey meeting one of the class representatives was Ray Lawrence. Ray did not finish his course with us, and as I recall has never been back to a reunion. But he lives in Westfield, N. J., and is assistant manager of the insurance division of Electric Bond and Share Company. Is married and has a boy 7 years old and a girl 5 years old.
Paul Richardson is a partner in Chase & Richardson of New York City—a stock and bond brokerage concern.
Ed Kirkland occupies the Frank Munsey chair of American history at Bowdoin. Aside from this he does considerable writing, and in the spring of 1932 published through E. S. Crofts of New York, "A History of American Economic Life." When I say considerable writing I mean just that, as this book contains over 750 pages. He adds a bit about Parker Burt, who teaches French at Wyoming Seminary, to the effect that Parker spent last summer in France in further study of French.
Frank Pettengill is a doctor practising in New York City, doing principally pediatrics. He is assistant attending physician to both St. Mary's Hospital tor Children and the Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled. Frank is married, has no children, and spends his summers at New Castle, N. H., where he has a summer place.
