Class of 1922
New England alumni of the class are selfishly pleased to hear that Jimmy Hamil- ton will be back in this district before long, having been named superintendent of the New Haven Hospital. An announcement printed in The Dartmouth reads as fol- lows:
"Mr. H. C. Knight, president of the Board of Directors of the New Haven Hos- pital, today announced the appointment of James A. Hamilton of Cleveland, Ohio, as superintendent of the Hospital, to suc- ceed Dr. Albert W. Buck, who assumed the superintendency of the Charlotte Hunger- ford Hospital at Torrington, Conn., on January i.
"Mr. Hamilton was graduated from Dartmouth College in igaa and obtained his Master's degree in 1923 from the Tuck Business School. He was assistant professor of industrial management at Dartmouth from 1933 to 1936, and for 10 years superin- tendent of the Mary Hitchcock Hospital at Hanover, N. H. He is at the present time superintendent of the Cleveland City Hospital and lecturer at Western Reserve University.
"Mr. Hamilton plans to take up his work on September 1 after a summer va- cation in California."
From Cecil Goldbeck comes word of Wilder Spaulding and his new book, "His Excellency, George Clinton," which was published by the Macmillan Company last month. Cecil goes on to say: "It is a goodand an important book arid provides fur-ther pleasant proof that Twenty-twoershave been doing something in the last 15years.
"Wilder is the author of another book,'New York in the Critical Period,,' whichwas published some years ago. For a while(this in case you don't remember) he wasprofessor of history at Trinity College,Hartford. Then he went to the State De-partment in Washington as historical ad-viser, and now he is assistant chief of theDivision of Research and Publication atthe State Department (a non-political job).He lives in Chevy Chase with his wife andyoung son.
"I think the executive committee which
you mention in recent class notes is a verygood idea, and the members chosen shouldcertainly contribute a lot to the success ofthe next reunion. Too bad 1942 is such along way off!"
That proud papa, Frank Horan, con- tributed a welcome letter on February 28, containing some advice upon this weighty job as well as some bits of news. He says he has "heard that Kilmarx is about totake a European trip, but I am not surethat this is so." Well, it's a good story even if it isn't true! And it's probably so.
"I saw Ralph Reid recently," goes on the proud papa, "who told me that he hasstarted an investment counselor's businessof his own at 150 Williams St., New YorkCity (advt.)."
Paul Peters, a member of the class who turned to matrimony instead of his degree, writes in and puts all of us proud papas to shame. He has three boys, the oldest 16. Paul reports 489 Woodford St., Port- land, Me., as his new address, and "ped-dling . milk (in cans), cheese, mince meat,etc., for the Borden Cos." as his new job.
"Your recent remarks about boys on theway to Hanover prompts me to remarkthat I have three on the way," writes Paul, "and the oldest, sixteen this week, is toodam near as far as the finances are con-cerned. Saw two of the (football) gamesthis fall, and both that I picked were goodgames, but that is more than I can say forthe weather at the Harvard and Cornellgames."
ALUMNI MAGAZINES reached Bob Clark all in a bunch last month, but it proved helpful to the class exchequer. I quote a recent letter from him at his Connecticut farm:
"The receipt in the mornings mail offour ALUMNI MAGAZINES sewes as a verystern reminder of my failings. First, I shallenclose a check for two dollars for classdues. Secondly, I report very little classnews, as my contacts are limited by myfarm life. We see Rex Malmquist andGeorge McCarthy at infrequent intervals.
"My family now numbers four, Mrs.Clark, Alexander, aged 41/%, Bob Jr., agednine months, and myself. The arrival ofBob Jr. was my reason for non-appearanceat the 15th. I feel quite 'certain nothing ofa like nature will interfere with the 20th."
The Steve Kenyons have announced the birth of their third child, a girl, on Febru- ary 25 at the Hackensack Hospital. Their other two children are boys.
Frank Horan and Had Pinney attended the dinner given in New York recently by the Young Democratic Club, boosting Jackson for the governorship.
