Class of 1911
It is probably going to be necessary to start another special column, this to be called the Authors' Column. Recently reference has been made to several articles by Jim Mathes. The latest is one entitled "The Third Great Adventure," which appears in the February copy of Sphere. Now Wee Kimball and Chub Sterling have taken up the idea. In the February Forum was an article by Chub on "The 'New Deal' and Advertising." Wee Kimball contributed "The Aspects of Public Liability Insurance" in the March issue of the bulletin of the National Retail Dry Goods Association.
To the Honor Roll must be added the names of Cap Caproni, Chet Butts, and Rus Patterson, all of whom took pity on the Secretary and sent in interesting information.
Chet wrote of Newt Russell's illness, Newt having gone to the Deaconess Hospital in Brookline for treatment. I am glad to say however that Newt has since been able to return to his home at South Hadley, where he is now waiting for the spring to appear so that he can once more get out and start pruning his nut trees. Newt's big disappointment is that he won't be able to start fishing quite as early as usual this year.
Rollie Hastings sent in a fine-looking young chap who is now attending Northwestern University and who was here in Hanover trying to get permision to transfer to Dartmouth. It was good to hear from Rollie even though indirectly. Young Rollie is now associated with his father in the International Business Machines Corporation.
Russell Patterson wrote that he attended the annual dinner of the Dartmouth Alumni Association at Washington. He said that 1911 was represented by Morris, Odlin, Stafford, and himself. As you might expect George Morris did a fine job in presenting the Association's gift to Dan Laycock, in whose honor the dinner was given.
Ken Clark's firm, Jones, Clark, and Higson, announce the removal of their offices to 40 Wall St., Bank of the Manhattan Company Building. They still maintain an uptown office at 60 East 4.26. St.
Harold Moseley has moved to 800 Enfield St., Thompsonville, Conn., this being a distance of some three or four city blocks.
Herb Clark is now a distributor of fruits and vegetables in Pensacola, Fla., where his address is given as Box 626. Apparently Herb became disgusted with the New England climate and has gone where he can get his fruit fresh.
Bert Wheeler has moved to Kenilworth, 111., to 138 Winnetka Ave., to be precise.
I am sorry to be unable to give more definite information regarding either Herb or Bert, but this constitutes an invitation to them to let us know what has been happening.
Bill Herron still continues in the real estate game in Birmingham, Ala. His business address is 112 North 21st St. and his residence is 2919 Canterbury Road, Mt. Brook, Birmingham.
An interesting letter from Cap Caproni says that business is picking up, that industries are looking for more space, and that he has been receiving many inquiries for factory betterment, warehouses and storage buildings for national houses and chain stores. This is preliminary to the statement that Cap is on his own, working with a group of capitalists who are putting their investments into real estate. Cap finds some reputable company wanting space, makes a ten-year lease with them, then buys land and erects a building for their needs. The list of firms with which Cap has done business you will recognize as among the leaders. I should judge from the nature of the work that Cap must be a lawyer, a real estate agent, and an engineer all combined, since he does the whole job from making the contacts with the investors to the finding of tenants and erecting of the building. Cap still lives at New Haven, Conn., and likes it. Cap says he is in New York and Boston frequently, where he sees many of the boys.
Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
