1914*

With the blizzard and all, there is not very much to report this month. We did have a pleasant call from Lester Little's mother, who told us of Lester's marriage and some of his adventures in meeting the boat, about which perhaps Lay will write us in due time.

Mrs. Lester K. LittleCanton, China

Dear Mrs. "Lay": We welcome you into the family of the Class of 1914 and we warn you that one of the obligations you have undertaken is to prod your husband from time to time to send some news about himself. Therefore, you can make yourself a member in good standing by having the first letter sent off at an early date.

Lester's classmates are keen to know about what is going on in the far east and, besides, the Secretary is very short of news! So if you will take care of this matter we shall make you doubly welcome not later, we hope, than our next Class Reunion.

Meanwhile, the Class sends you and Lester their very best wishes. "Sec."

We are doing pretty well with letters. This month we have an excellent one from Moose Englehorn. He writes at length about Carl Buck who, as you will see, has had an outstanding career in the field of public health. Incidentally, Moose says that Carl could give us a lot more information which would make very interesting reading, and if he won't do it Lucile, his wife, will be glad to be of assistance. And so, Lucile, we will be glad to hear more about the career of your outstanding husband. Meanwhile, we give Moose's interesting memo as he sent it:

"Dr. Carl E. Buck was a member of the American Sanitary Commission to the Balkan States in 1915 during the typhus fever outbreak in Serbia. From 1916 to 1917 he was Health Commissioner of Oak Park, Illinois. During the World War, he served in the Air Service of the U. S. Army. After the war he was a member of the staff of the International Health Board of the Rockefeller Foundation, doing malaria work in the Southern States. He then became Deputy Health Commissioner of Detroit and served in that capacity until March, 1931.

"On April 1, 1931 Dr. Buck joined the staff of the American Public Health Association, 50 West 50th Street, New York, New York. This Association was organized in 1872 and today is the largest and best known in the public health profession. Dr. Buck is Field Director of the Association. In this capacity his work has been so extensive that he has visited every State in the Union. He has made studies of public health administration in some of the largest cities and in some of our most rural areas. A large majority of his surveys have been published, and he is considered an outstanding authority on problems relating to public health administrative practice. During the past three years he has been making studies of State Health Departments and has recently completed studies of Florida, Oklahoma, and Michigan.

"Dr. Buck has also acted in a consultant and advisory capacity on problems relating to specific phases of public health work, such as questions pertaining to the adequacy of hospital or sanitarium facilities and care; the correlation of public health laws; and matters relating to the care of the indigent sick.

"Dr. Buck is the author of numerous papers which have been published and reprinted. The Appraisal Form for LocalTuberculosis Activities was prepared by him.

"Numerous other activities of the American Public Health Association are carried on under Dr. Buck's supervision, including the Health Conservation Approximately six hundred cities and counties have been competing in these contests for the past ten years. The Health Contests have been termed by public health experts as the greatest medium of health education on a national basis thus far developed.

"Dr. Buck has given courses in public health at the University of Michigan, and during the months of February and March of this year is teaching at the University of Minnesota.

"His schedule for the spring and summer will carry him clear across the United States, and in all probability his commitments will include a public health study of the territory of Alaska."

We spent an evening with the Charlie O'Connors recently. Charlie showed us a most interesting letter from his son, a sophomore at Yale. Robert, while at Worcester Academy, developed a keen interest in the drama and although we shall not number him in the Dartmouth family, already there is evidence of a fine career ahead for him.

From William D. Knight '09 we learn of the sudden death of Charles Russell Chapman who passed away in Miami, Florida, February 27. Although Russ was with us in Hanover but two years he made a wide circle of friends and many indeed will regret his passing. (Further details will be found in the Necrology section.)

Reading the newspaper clippings concerning his passing, the Secretary is impressed that here is another case of an outstanding career about which we knew so little when there was a chance to send flowers to the living. We think it is fine that Moose Englehorn should go to the trouble to tell us about Carl Buck. It is too bad that someone hadn't come forward with news about Chapman. But there is still time and there must be dozens of fellows doing interesting things in various parts of the country about which some classmate knows. And if modesty prevents the man himself from coming forward, why doesn't someone tell the story when he knows it will be of general interest? For example.... if we could get a good story about Scotty Jones' work in the northwest; Doctor Bill Washburn and his outstanding surgery; Herb Gridley in charge of all commissary for the Southern Pacific Railway.... and there must be dozens of others. How about it, fellows?
