Class of 1912
The first broadcast from Pett Pettingell for the Alumni Fund has already been received. These fine news sheets are a great thing, and help a lot in taking up the slack in the case of so many class-members who do not subscribe to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. Your prompt response to the appeal from Pett will not take your name off the list, but the news will be sent to you regularly just the same. It does help a lot, however, if Pett can get his checks in early, and of course the larger the amounts the happier for the College.
All those directly or indirectly connected with the medical profession should read the annual report of the Hartford (Conn.) Dispensary. This purely charitable institution has as its physician-in-chief our own Stan B. Weld and represents a most beautiful example of social service of the highest order. Such a work is surely something to be proud of and deserves the best of congratulations. Stan says in a letter: "Mywork keeps me pretty well confined withinthe boundaries of Connecticut. The ALUMNI MAGAZINE is a real contributionthese days, and I scan the 1912 column assoon as I receive my copy Had mytwo boys at the Yale game, and you neversaw any one revel in a Dartmouth victorymore than Bob and Dave Weld When I read of Freddie Day's death Irealized that 1912 had lost one of itsstaunch supporters and I a good friend.Ever since our summer together at theSamoset in Rockland, Me., Freddie's happysmile has been a real inspiration. WithBob and Dave spent a week at Hanoverand Spy Glass Hill Farm Camp at Moosilauke—weather 28 degrees below—Fordand Peggy Sayre are doing a real job at theAlumni Cabin, as my boys will testify—one result of a fine winter week in theNorth Country is one of the boys signed upfor Dartmouth and the other will probablyfollow."
The news of a very bad automobile accident to Glad Nead, Mrs. Nead, and their son Marshall was received too late for the last issue. Mrs. Nead and the boy were not seriously hurt but Glad had a very narrow escape, having broken his pelvis, one arm, and his right leg. The middle of March almost a month after the accident found Glad still confined at the Willimantic Hospital, Willimantic, Conn., but we are advised that he has been coming along very well and is on the road to complete recovery.
Alfred Eiseman is now connected with automobile finance—as vice president of the Hillside Commercial Cos., Inc., located in Hillside Ave., Jamaica, L. I.
Bill Shrigley has as his residence 31 Hereford St., Boston, and as slipper manufacturer in business at Water St., Wakefield, Mass.
Dave Dorward has a new address, 1414 North Ave., N. E., Atlanta, Ga.
"Bob" Morris, class of 1936, son of Tex, has been chosen for the Commencement exercises to give the "Address .to the College." Bob was manager of football last year.
Shortly after the receipt of this issue of the MAGAZINE there will be held the annual secretaries' meeting in Hanover—on May 15 and 16. We expect to be duly represented, and right now will be a good time to send in any recommendations, praises or otherwise, that you might have which would be of assistance to our class, the ALUMNI MAGAZINE or any other relationships we might have with the College.
Secretary, 1452 Broadway, New York
