THE ALUMNI FUND
Hats off to Ralph for his accomplish- ment. His breezy and interesting letters have reached all of you, and it is a pleasure to write into the permanent magazine record of the class that we are eleventh in a group of seventeen achieving 100% or better in Contributors; fifth in the Green Derby, with 179% of our objective; combined percentage improvement of 70; and a total contribution of $3,183.70 to the Fund. All of this is incidental to the splen- did and authentic evidence of our unani- mous confidence in and support for Hoppy, with whom we enjoyed the privilege of un- dergraduate days. Congratulations to those classes who knew him most intimately in college, 1900 and 1901, for their emphatic and substantial recognition of his accom- plishment for Dartmouth.
The memorial contributions from Mrs. Cummings, Mrs. Egbert, Mrs. Norton, Mrs. Willis, and Ben ('97) Marshall are appreciated for the renewal of the memories we have of Eddie, Eggs, Dan, Ned, and Zeus.
Last winter Charlie Tubbs was a judge at the Bowdoin Senior Prize Speaking, and learned to his surprise and pleasure that another judge was our early classmate Oli- phant, now editor of the Portland Press-Herald.
Mike Dailey, Colonel in the Medical Corps U.S.A. left the Canal Zone in May. Spent his summer at his old home in North Easton, Massachusetts, with orders to go to Baltimore.
Whit expected to join us at Hanover in June but couldn't make it because of the fact that all his recipes for foreign Banking were kicked into a cocked hat by the war, and he had to remain at his post in Washington with new conditions to meet every hour. His daughter, whom we enjoyed seeing last reunion was married this spring (sorry I haven't the details). A late report indicates that Whit is in a snazzy new office enjoying Vermont cider kept at the proper temperature by a patented cooling device.
Jack Kirker, our John Henry, not to be outdone by some of our portly members, has acquired more longitude around the knees, and is still in good condition and going strong.
Burritt H. Hinman, Lt. Col. U.S.A. Corps Area Judge Advocate, Third Corps Area, Baltimore, Maryland, with Mrs. Hinman spent much of the summer with their daughter and her husband Randy '35 Stowell in Dixfield, Maine. Rosie has two sons in the service, a 83-year-old Marine and a 20-year-older in the Observation Squadron. Three cheers for the hundred per cent American Defense Family! Rosie visited his brother Hap ('to) in our Town of Secretaries, and I had an hour with the Judge Advocate. SOME JUDGE! There's another Hinman, John ('08), with more sons in the Hinman tradition whom we have enjoyed seeing this summer. They are a stimulating Dartmouth Tribe.
In the Dartmouth (Mass.) News of Aug. i1, 1941, the following notice appeared under BIRTHS:
"A daughter, Hope Elizabeth, to Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Fiske Phipard Jr. (Hope Robinson), 49 School Street, South Dartmouth, July 23." E. K. Robinson, the proud grandfather, admits that he is such a late entrant in the grandfather's contest as to have no hope of making any kind of showing in this race, but he claims that to the best of his knowledge he is the only alumnus of the college who can boast of having both a daughter and a granddaughter in Dartmouth! There he is right out in front in a new contest with no other contestants in sight. Grandpa Robinson visited us during the acute period of the gasoline shortage in the newspapers in August. Grandpa's legs still reach the ground, and he gave me a grand demonstration of the Scotch game in Lebanon at the Country Club. He wasn't short on anything except approaches.
Bob Moseley has moved to 701 Stockley Gardens, Norfolk, Va. (note change of address) and he sends me the good news that his new location has resulted in a complete restoration of health. His elder son Robert is a sergeant in the regular army now stationed at Camp Lee near Petersburg, Va., so they are able to see him occasionally.
Butterfly Jim Brotherhood, remembered by some as the freshman quarterback who gave his signals running along on the backs of his line, writes from Grand Rapids, Michigan, in the same boyish hand he brought with him from Erasmus Hall that he plans to bring Mrs. Brotherhood east for the 40th, and perhaps EARLIER. Good news, Jimmy, come and stay!
The big surprise of the summer came in August with a visit from "Johnnie" and Mrs. Mathes. .. .during the summer of 1914, which I spent at my old home, I enjoyed seeing him frequently at Dover, N. H., where he has always lived, but since then I have seen him only once. They had just visited Tinker Gale's Eagle Mountain House, and then Hanover, where Everett had been to some effort to get into Crosby and visit the room where he and Philip Lasky spent their four college years together. I wonder if that isn't a class record? The Mathes have two sons, Dick, 18, a senior at New Hampton School, and Roger, 13, entering Dover High School, this fall. These boys have a rich Dartmouth background. Mrs. Mathes' two brothers, Lucius ('99) Varney, and Laurence "Dyke" ('O2) Varney, and Everett's brothers John ('00) and Jim ('11), and Jim Jr. ('39) in their own generation. It looks as if Johnnie had eight years of association with the undergraduate life of the college coming to him.
Amasa Bowles and Sid Rollins are our nearest 1904 neighbors. I hope to see them both soon. During the summer we have enjoyed the pleasure of seeing the Edgerlys, the Charrons, Mary Willis, Mrs. Rollins and Sydney, the Hinmans, the Mathes, the Sewalls, Hazel Moulton with Priscilla and Webster, the Sextons, who, by the way, had a busy June week with one son graduating from Tech and the other from Dartmouth.
Had a young man with us this summer who was a close neighbor of Spike Sanborn's in St. Paul, and Harold D. ('03) King brought us the news that Hat Hardy is well and enjoying his freedom from active duty from Uncle Sam.
I am glad to say that all the class family represented in the above paragraph are in fine spirits and not as old as the record would indicate.
