1907*

The death of our classmate, Harry Freeman Doe, at Morrisville, Vt., on February 19, 1940, was reported too late for announcement in this column in the May MAGAZINE. An obituary notice was, however, published in the Necrology section of that issue.

Doe entered our class in the fall of 1905, remaining only through the fall of that year. He had previously attended Norwich University. His life interest was music and he held high rank in his chosen profession. At the time of his death he was Instructor in Music in Morrisville.

Our Hanover correspondent reports: that Charles McLane '4l has recently been elected captain of the ski team for the next college year; that Jim and Mrs. O'Neill visited Hanover recently and had the pleasure of seeing and hearing their son John '4O take an important part in a play in Robinson Theater; that Tom and Mrs. Reilly and two of their boys have recently spent a week at the Hanover Inn; that Judge McLane and Bill Minsch have recently attended a trustees' meeting and that Jack and Mrs. Stilphen have also been recent visitors to Hanover.

Another professional classmate who has practiced his profession continuously in New England is Professor Bremer Pond.

Bremer is associated with the Department of Landscape Architecture and the Graduate School of Design, both connected with Harvard University, but let him tell his own story:

Here's another report from one of our professional classmates, Dr. A. P. Tibbets of Washington, D. C. Here is his own story:

"Since 1928 I have been Chairman of the School of Landscape Architecture here at Harvard, which was changed over in 1937 to the Department of Landscape Architecture in the Graduate School of Design, being one of three separate Departments in that School, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Regional Planning. My duties as Chairman have been the usual administrative ones of running the Department and having general oversight of the courses; while as Charles Eliot Professor of Landscape Architecture, also since 1928, I have been in charge of the advanced courses in landscape design and the course in the history of landscape architecture. The former are drafting room courses, similar to those in architectural design in their procedure and involve criticism of the work at the men's desks in the drafting rooms; the latter is a lecture course, three hours a week. The students are all men who have received their Bachelor's Degree either from Harvard or some other college and are taking this course as training for their life-work. This means, of course, that they are serious minded and make the most of their time, and it consequently means longer hours for the instructors than in a normal undergraduate curriculum; my own hours there are from nine in the morning until six at night four days in the week, along with one or two half days and several evenings! So far, even through the Depression, the graduates of the Depart- ment have had little difficulty in finding positions on receiving their Master's Degree; these positions are with the various governmental agencies engaged in landuse planning, such as the National Park Service, Forest Service, the numerous Housing Authorities, various conservation agencies, and the private professional offices, and in all sorts of semi-public and private work dealing with the planning of land for human use and enjoyment.

"The Department has always followed the policy of encouraging its staff to do outside work as well as teach, in order to keep in touch with the professional activities in various parts of the country, and I have maintained my own private office for professional work since I first started it in 1914. I have kept busy with that, as well as with the teaching and administrative work at the college, on both public and private work and as a consultant on various Federal projects, the last of these being with the National Capital Park & Planning Commission in collaboration with a Washington architect in the design of the National Sports Center and Stadium in that city. The combination of practicing and teaching is not only very interesting but also seems to keep one very busy."

"Since my graduation in Medicine from George Washington University in 1910, and a year's internship, have spent my time with the exception of two and a half years in the Medical Corps of the United States Navy during and after the World War, in private practice in Washington, D. C.

"In 1919 following post-graduate study in New York, began specializing in Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat and am still in that field. Since graduation have served as Assistant Demonstrator in Anatomy, Clinical Instructor, Clinical Associate and Clinical Professor in Oto-laryngology at the George Washington University Medical School and Hospital. Have also for many years been on the staff of the Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital.

"Have two sons neither of whom seems inclined towards the profession. The older graduated in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland in 1937 and is with the Bethlehem Steel Co., at Sparrows Point, Md., while the younger is in his second year at the New York Merchant Marine Academy, Fort Schuyler, N. Y."
