1909*

I had a very interesting visit and lunch with Nate Howland the other day. I have not seen him since he graduated. To tell of his experiences would use more space than we are allowed, but I will try to give you just a brief outline of what he has been doing. As you know, he went to Germany immediately after graduation and remained in foreign trade for over twenty years. He finally decided to come back home in 1932. In 1933 and 1934 he divided his time between this country and Europe. In the fall of 1934 he definitely gave up his home in Berlin and brought his family back to New York. In 1935 he entered the firm of W. R. Bull, an investment banker and pioneer in the investment trust field in this country. In the past five years he had devoted most of his time to building up a national distributing organization for the investment funds which they sponsor and manage. He is Vice President of the company and director of the Republic Investors Fund, Inc., 35 Journal Square, Jersey City, N. J. He is also a member of the advisory board of Sovereign Investors, Inc., of the same address. His son, Thielo, was married in 1938. He has two daughters who are twins. One of them, Harriet, is being married this summer. Alice, the other daughter, is devoting all of her time to music. In fact, both of his daughters have had Metropolitan Opera aspirations for some time, which gives you an idea how good they are. The family is now living at 10 Holder Place, Forest Hills Gardens, New York. If any of the members of the class want an interesting few hours, they ought to sit down and talk with Nate.

FLYER

Bob Burns has a flying record of some kind. He recently had dinner in Boston on Monday night; dinner in Colorado on Tuesday night; dinner in Chicago on Wednesday night; Buffalo on Thursday night and Boston on Friday night. Beat that if you can!

Curt Sheldon was recently one of the invited guests at the dinner in Hanover of THE DARTMOUTH, which was observing its 100 th anniversary. You will recall tiiat Curt was at one time the business manager of the newspaper.

Curt also tells me that he and Freddie Carroll were recently guests at the Connecticut State Bankers dinner in New Haven.

Congratulations are in order to Hal Prescott, who has just recently been appointed Traffic Engineer of the American Telephone & Telegraph Company.

They say you can't keep a good man down. This is further exemplified by the fact that Dan Watson is again elected Commodore of the Corinthian Yacht Club. Dan is the owner of the Lill-Singva.

Moffatt is apparently covering the United States pretty carefully this year before going back to India. We recently received a clipping from Sunbury, Pennsylvania where he was speaking before a large group and showing motion pictures which he brought back with him from India. Too bad we did not know he had these pictures for we might have influenced him to show them at the reunion.

I have been asked by one of our class members to issue a list of those in the class who have died. I was personally very much surprised at some of the names I found on this list and I am sure some of you will find it startling. This shows twenty-four graduates and twenty-seven nongraduates as follows:

Non-Graduates—~Ea.x\e Alden, Earle Beattey, Chase Brooks, Joe Brusse, Charles Cartland, William Cassidy, Harley Caverly, Thomas Cavanaugh, George Cook, Mitchell Daniels, Carlton Dodge, Lawrence Duffy, Franklin Gilbert, Simpson Horner Jr., Philip Hough, Richard Hunt, Maurice Kivel, Elmer Monroe, Elmer Niles, Allison Palmer, John Saville, Ted Smith, James Turner, Dana Waldron, Lester Wass, Ernest Wells, Charles Whitman.

Professor Francis H. Bird (better known to you as "Tubby") is the author of Instruction in Industrial Relations which recently appeared in a magazine entitled THE COOPERATIVE ENGINEER. Tubby is in charge of the Commerce Department in the College of Engineering and Commerce connected with the University of Cincinnati.

Frank Bartlett is now connected with the Reconstruction & Finance Corporation, 164 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago and is living at 6750 North Ashland Avenue, Chicago, Illinois.

Russell Cowles, whom we last heard from at Santa Fe, New Mexico, is now at 154 West 57th Street, New York City.

We recently reported that Max Bonter told us that Jim Ruselton was in the wholesale coal business in Cleveland and we have just learned his address which is 1265 West 105 th Street.

I just had a letter from Harold Wheat who is now running the Canaan Street Lodge at Canaan, New Hampshire. This is only a half hour's run to Hanover and he tells me that it has proven very popular with Dartmouth men who are attending various activities at Hanover. He has not, however, received many '09 men and wishes more would drop in on him. His rates are $4.00 and $5.00 a day and the weekly rates are $25.00 and $35.00.

Secretary, Filene's, Boston, Mass.
