1908*
Several announcements have corns to the reporter's desk during the summer, first of which was a formal notice that Peter F. McCarty has removed his law office to 31 Milk Street, Boston. The announcement doesn't say that Pete wants all classmates to drop in, whether or not on law business, and ask for free advice and refreshment, but knowing Pete and his hospitable ways we feel we can extend the invitation for him.
Announcement in June of the wedding of John Hartley Lewis and Miss Phyllis Harriman, in New York City on June 25, is of interest to the classmates of Jack's father, Art Lewis. As has been explained previously, Jack chose Harvard instead of Dartmouth because of his intense interest in riding and especially polo, a sport which hasn't flourished in Hanover. He was number 1 on the Harvard polo team last year, played on the team throughout his college course. The younger Lewis was one of a small group of 1940 college graduates selected by Chrysler Corporation for special training in Detroit, where he went immediately after his graduation and wedding. The wedding, incidentally, was on his father's birthday. The bride is a granddaughter of Mrs. J. Borden Harriman who was United States minister to Norway.
Announcement is also at hand of the wedding of Miss Harriet Griswold, daughter of '08's Lawrence W. and Mrs. Larry, to William Irving Randall, on August 31, in Orleans, Mass.
Wedding of special interest to the re- porter was September 7, in Littleton, N. H., when William B. Rotch, Dartmouth '37, and Miss Martha McLane, Smith '37, were married. The bride is a niece of "Judge" McLane '07, and the young people are to live in Milford.
Any classmate with announcements may send them in and they will appear in the MAGAZINE, subject to careless loss by the reporter and editorial censoring by the publishers.
Ev Marsh has a new address, new since June. It is 29 So. LaSalle St., Chicago.
Bob Marsden has left Manchester, Vermont, and now gets his mail in Wilmington, Delaware, care of the Atlas Powder company. Bob worked for this concern several years ago, and with the upturn in the powder business they needed him back. Before going to Delaware he built a new swimming pool for some camp in Vermont. Bob writes that he took a recent trip to Scottsdale, Pa., and hunted up Walter Furman who is vice president of the Duraloy Company, and who in June moved from New York City to Scottsdale. Walter's son, a recent Harvard graduate, has developed an interest in metal alloys as the result of which he is entering Ohio State University for a special course in alloys.
Henry Stone now lives at 14 Maple Ave., Haverhill, Mass. He returned to New England in May after four months in Florida. Henry writes that his vacation was not of the plutocratic type, but was taken in an effort to recuperate from an attack of coronary thrombosis last October. He says he is feeling much better and hopes to continue his active business life. Henry is a banker and a lumber dealer, among a variety of business interests.
Dr. Francis G. Blake succeeded Dr. Stanhope Bayne-Jones on July 1 as dean of the Yale Medical School. "Bant" Blake has been a member of the faculty at New Haven since 1921. He is physician-in-chief and chairman of the medical board of the New Haven Hospital, and Sterling professor of medicine at Yale University.
"General" Knox has long enjoyed a reputation for hospitality, but few classmates can go to Rio Janeiro to make the test. Last spring John McLane Clark, Dartmouth '32 and son of Jack Clark '08, spent several months in South America and reports the "General" was exceedingly kind and hospitable. According to John his 'OB host is an hombre of considerable consequence in Rio, and the '08 classmates do not need John's testimony that the General is keenly interested in everything pertaining to Dartmouth.
Death of two classmates the past summer brings memories and sincere regrets to the 'OB family. Presumably both are reported fully in another section of the MAGAZINE this month.
Louis B. Hopkins died suddenly in Hanover August 10. "L.8." was a man we all loved and honored in college. It makes little difference that he attained highest academic honors, that his life in recent years has been crowded with successes and attainments to which few of us can even aspire. 'OB will remember him as the good friend and companion of undergraduate days. The sincere, reliable, lovable youth whose place in our hearts is secure as long as any classmates live.
"Doc" Pillsbury was with us only a short time as an undergraduate, but he won a place in our affections, the serious, likeable lad from Maine who roomed in Thornton. We saw less of him after he transferred to Dartmouth Medical school where he graduated in 1909, but he was always one of the class. He died June 18 in Saco, Maine, his native town, where he went when failing health forced him to give up his practice in Lowell early this year.
