1907*
The College has started another cycle, the thirty-seventh since we first knew it. May it be a fruitful year for the College and for '07!
The ALUMNI MAGAZINE, through which most of us keep abreast of Dartmouth activities and accomplishments, has completed its most successful year and begins, with this issue, what is expected to prove a year of even greater progress than 1939- 40. As a member of a "group-subscription" class, you will receive ten issues of the best publication of its kind in these United States. Enjoy every word of it,—and contribute to its value to others by sending news about yourself and your classmates to your class secretary.
Reunion in 1942!— Apropos of which, Tute Worthen writes:
"It seems to me that a report prior to our next reunion would be well worth while. I believe that the time to have one would be within a year or two of a reunion and therefore either now or roughly five years from now would seem to be a reasonable time. With the many uncertainties concerning the future I am therefore in favor of having one prior to our next reunion."
Let's have a ballot. Do you want a class report before the 1942 Reunion? Tute Worthen, by the way, modest as always, has this to say about his own professional activities:
"I am classified as a surgeon which in common parlance means a general surgeon and I have been a visiting surgeon at the Hartford Hospital for 14 years and a consultant surgeon at other hospitals. I have been and am on innumerable committees of hospital, city, county and state societies but these are a matter of no public significance. I am a member of various surgical societies also. I have been a vice president of the state society and am the vice president of the Hartford County Medical Association but don't put this stuff in, Dick, for heaven's sake."
Ted Greenleaf, from Augusta, in the state that (sometimes) shows the national political trend, continues with the Maine Highway Commission. "Plodding along on the same job," he calls it. But we, who spend a week-end or a vacation in Maine, know he builds good roads.
Bob Kenyon, formerly a resident of Weston, Mass., and a neighbor of your class Secretary, now lives in Norwell, Mass., some twenty miles or so south of Boston.
Back in the spring, the engagement of Robert Cushman '39, son of Norman, to Miss Mary Shorey, of Ardsley-on-Hudson, New York, was announced. Late this summer they were married at Winchester, Mass.
Our productive middle-west correspondent, Runt Martin, sends news of two classmates, Jack Hart of Racine, Wisconsin, and Harry Jordan of Waukegan, Illinois: "Jack and Harry live on Sheridan Road, the ritzy street in the towns north of Chicago.
"Jack is twice a grandfather, his daughter having two children. John Jr., is a senior honor student in Electrical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin. Harry is a director of the First National Bank of Waukegan and a member of the Water Works Board."
J. Harper Blaisdell, M.D., of Boston and Winchester, is a director of the Blue Cross, an organization of hospitals. He writes that this association has been both interesting and educational. Harper has also just been reelected to the Winchester Board of Health for a three-year term, of which board he has been chairman since 1924.
Secretary, 140 Federal St., Boston, Mass.
