1914*
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We have frequently passed over the expression "distaff side" and never appreciated its full meaning until spending an evening with the Burleighs recently and seeing at first-hand what a family can really do in textiles. John not only builds looms on which Pauline weaves beautiful tweeds for home decoration and family clothing, but now she is researching in the field of spinning and weaving flax. Belonging as we do to that group peculiarly unfitted to do anything well in the field of manual craftsmanship, we not only admire the Burleigh products but we envy them their enjoyment in an avocation which gives them so much pleasure.
Moose Englehorn is Personnel Director, we hear, of the New York Division of the Hpme Owners Loan Corporation, with offices at 270 Broadway. He writes he has fifteen hundred people in his department and finds his present assignment the most enjoyable work he has ever done.
We had the pleasure of spending an evening recently with Elmer and Kris Robinson at their new home in Concord. Present also were Jack and Betty Harris, and Myron and Esther Files.
Jack Harris, by the way, is a certified public accountant and practices his profession with the Dewey and Almy Chemcal Company in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His eldest daughter is in training to become a nursing executive. Myron has two children at Tufts where he is Professor of English, and one at Wentworth Institute. In addition to his courses in English, Myron is editing a new college catalogue for Tufts.
Elmer has three children. His eldest daughter is a junior at Connecticut College for Women; a son is at New Hampton; and Jimmie, ten, is quarterback for the school team.
Chick Grant's son, Alan, a freshman at Hanover this year, had tough luck in the midst of the football season, undergoing an emergency operation for appendicitis, from which we are glad to say he recovered completely.
Sam Cole's eldest son, a senior at Bordentown Military Institute, we understand is one of the high ranking officers in the cadet corps. He is very much interested in a military career.
From Tom Sullivan '13 we have a letter of appreciation inspired by the passing of our classmate, Lieutenant Fred L. Granger Medical Corps, U. S. Navy. Tom writes of his close friendship with Fred during his years at Hanover. He tells us, incidentally, that in addition to his years at Dartmouth Fred spent a year at the United States Military Academy at West Point, but abandoned the military career because of his desire to enter the profession of medicine; but things military in general finally called him back as a doctor in the Navy. Tom recalls that Fred Granger was one of the hardest working students he knew at college and still admires his ability to do so much manual work and maintain a high academic standing at the same time. Here, apparently, was one of those rare souls that we pass unseen, so to speak, and we are grateful to Tom Sullivan for bringing to our attention the character and personality of our classmate.
Harold Rugg at the Library writes us that Dan Chase is the author of an article "The Remembered Spring" which recently appeared in the Christian ScienceMonitor. This article of undoubted liter ary merit and Dartmouth research relates to Timothy Dickinson of the Class of 1785, and apparently made considerable impression in literary circles by its excellent presentation.
Commander Arthur Dearing, U. S. N. after serving at the Naval Hospital, U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, has been recalled to sea duty and is now aboard the U.S.S. California and can be reached via the Postmaster at San Pedro, Calif.
Lester Little arrived safely back in China to resume his duties with the International Customs at Canton.
Doctor George W. Adams '15 writes us concerning a couple of our lost classmates. Ben Quarles, he writes, is located at 1901 Seventh Street N.W., Washington, where he is proprietor of a pharmacy.
Eugene C. Williams practiced dentistry in Jamaica, Long Island, for a few years after leaving Dartmouth and was then stricken with a severe illness which made him a hopeless incurable from about 1926 to his death in 1936. We regret that lack of information precluded the mention of the passing of another one of our classmates, whose loss we sympathetically record.

This is the last call for your class dues, which include subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. At Reunion last June we voted, as did practically all of the classes, to unite in a group subscription plan for the MAGAZINE. You have heard from Jack Conners on numerous occasions and obviously we can't ask Jack to undergo the time and expense of continuous solicitation. Some of the boys who hitherto have remitted promptly apparently have neglected the matter this year. Please don't wait for George to do it, but get busy right now and write your check for $3.00, sending it to J. F. Conners, Treasurer, The Stanley Works, Bridgeport, Connecticut. You will get a nice post card of appreciation in return, and if you are an average Dartmouth man you will get a lot more than you expected in the reading of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. THANKS.
Secretary, 367 Boylston St., Boston, Mass.
* 100% subscribers to the ALUMNI MAGA ZINE, on class group plan.
