Class of 1906
The cut which accompanies this column is reproduced from a little snapshot that Dan Hatch unearthed from among his treasures of the long ago. The picture was taken on the front steps of the Marshall Eating Club on South Main St., probably after dinner some summer day in our junior or senior year. I recognize easily Dan himself—in spite of the fact that he evidently thought he was to appear in a movie—Turtle Tourtellotte, Ned Herr, Joe Smith, and Bill English 'OB. How many more can you identify?
Probably many '06 men sat up a little straighter as I did on the evening of January 14, when listening to the broadcast to Admiral Byrd sponsored by the BostonHerald-Traveller, as they realized that the chief announcer and master of ceremonies who introduced all the features of that interesting program was none other than our own Carl Warton. Carl, who has been on the staff of the Sunday Herald as an editorial and feature writer for many years, was evidently chosen for this honored position as announcer because of his ready tongue and clear enunciation. He did a good job.
At the annual meeting of the Boston Alumni Association Ned French was elected president of the association for the coming year. Other 1906 men present at the dinner included Gott Brooks, Ray Butterfield, Tom Connell, Harold Patten, and Dwight Waring. I am sure there were others, but these are all whose names got into the paper I read.
When the state of Vermont has any really important work to do, it chooses Steve Cushing to put it through. His latest task has been to draft the "state liquor control bill," which Vermont now has under consideration. Steve, as you will all remember, is chairman of the Vermont Public Service Commission.
Alan Beetle, now a sophomore, has been elected to the news board of the Daily Dartmouth.
A new business address for Clarence Tourtellotte has just come to hand: Ogden Point Docks, Vancouver, B. C., Canada.
My files for Arthur Holmes are getting very fat with printed monographs which our indefatigable chemist turns out. The two latest are "Color Standards for Cod Liver Oil," reprinted from the November number of the Journal of the AmericanPharmaceutical Association, and "The Hemoglobin Content of Chicken Blood," from the December issue of the Journal ofBiological Chemistry. In each of these papers Arthur was assisted by a collaborator.
Bill Bell sends me a cutting from the January 19 issue of The Gyrator, official organ of the Rotary Club of Chicago, which contains an editorial entitled "Community Service-an Investment Which Pays Dividends," by Nat Leverone. Bill's comment is epecially interesting: "As I readthis, I wondered if Nat was conscious ofthe fact that he was only expressing in anew phrasing what Prexy Tucker ably expounded to us as undergraduates at Sunday night vesper services." I suppose every Dartmouth man of our time passes on in new ways and through new channels far more of Dr. Tucker's teachings than any of us can realize—and I can think of no finer tribute to our president than that.
Con Chellis recently had a letter from Fred Welch, who you will remember is professor of civil engineering in the State College at Pullman, Wash., from which he quotes for our benefit:
"I am busier than ever just now. Besides my regular city and CWA city work,I now am in charge of the construction ofa $10,000 airport four miles east of thiscity."
Fred has for some time been connected with the office of the Pullman city engineer, in addition to his regular teaching position.
Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
