AN EVENING OF COLLEGE HISTORY.... "The Current General Catalogue of Dartmouth College and General Schools" contains the names, birth dates and places of every man who ever matriculated at Dartmouth. .. .it has a lot of other information, too. . . .all of the Presidents, Deans, Treasurers, Trustees, Librarians, Athletic Directors, Faculty Members and what not.

A Heck of a lot of Dartmouth folks trekked into Hanover since 1769 and you'll find them listed in this edition. Addresses of the living are given.

You probably remember what Judge David Cross of the Class of 1841 used to say on his visits to Hanover during our days. Born in 1817, it would have been possible, he claimed, for him to have seen, within the span of human life, Eleazar Wheelock and every man who attended Dartmouth College up to his time. As it was, one Samuel Gray of the first graduating class, that of 1771, lived until 1836.

It was just a matter of mathematics. .. . as we ourselves can say that we saw and heard a man who could have seen a member of the first class to graduate from Dartmouth.

An evening and a liking for College history plus a dash of imagination makes the 1200-page book exceedingly worthwhile. Anyway, it should be on the bookshelves of Dartmouth men. Five dollars sent to Max Norton, the only Bursar the College ever had, will probably get good delivery.

SYMPATHY of the Class goes to Art Bucknam whose wife passed away suddenly from flu and acute indigestion on Dec. 20. Her death comes at a time when she and Art were making frequent trips to Hanover to enjoy their son's College days, Art Jr. being a member of the sophomore class.... their last visit was to attend the Famous Fifth-Down Cornell Game in November.

ROLLIE REYNOLDS was prominently mentioned as a possible successor to the late President Bailey of the University of Vermont. . . .but Rollie with 21 years at Columbia Teacher's College and Horace Mann, and retirement at 65 with an attractive income, was not interested Rollie's capacity for just about anything in the educational world is widely recognized.

MIKE ELLIOTT, member of the Committee to select a new president for the University of Minnesota, did his best to get a Dartmouth man but Bill Cowley '24, President of Hamilton, after much consideration decided to remain where he was even though the Minnesota opportunity was very attractive.

OFFSPRING With ever-willing Andy Scarlett's assistance, we are able to give you a few outstanding marks obtained by Tenner Sons last year Jud Lyon '4O average 3.9; Bob Unangst '4O, 3.0; Jack Everett '4l, 3.6; Jim Robinson '42, 3.2; Jim Kerley 3.1.

Freshman Dick Warren took an important part in one of The Players' shows Natalie Comey pulled down an A and three B's at Dennison this last semester.

. . . .John Washburn has been playing on Exeter's second hockey line this winter, is and excellent tennis player and student, has the capacity for enjoying himself as he goes along in 1ife..... Bucky Allen's son Jack is with John Hancock Insurance Cos. while young Douglas is fitting at River School for Dartmouth Bill Tucker Jr., whose only undergraduate A as a Dartmouth undergraduate was one earned in L. B. Richardson's Freshman Chemistry, is doing a whale of a job in graduate chemical engineering at M. I. T., getting five A's this last semester.

HAROLD MARSH lost his home at Sheldon Junction, Vt., by fire this winter Harold and wife returning from church, found the house a mass of fire, lost everything, and were seriously burned. .. .three years ago they were burned out similarly.

62-o BROWN GAME is brought back to our memories by the following letter from Harold Benjamin since it happened to be our first "big" college football game, we having journeyed down from the North Country for the event, Harold's letter revives the famous affair in much detail.

The team itself, unsurpassed in physical strength and size in Dartmouth history, five linemen up to 6-4 in height and averaging 220 pounds, were a tremendous outfit to watch in action Witham, Bullock, Turner, Foster, Bill Clough, Dillon, Joe Gilman, Knibbs, Lillard, Patterson, Vaughan, Gage, Ralph Glaze, Lindsay, Main, Farrier, Hooper (All-America his freshman year). . . .what a Power-House!

But Harold's letter: "Joe Churchill now of the Pipestone Produce Cos. of Minnesota, but born and raised in Exeter, N. H„ was a great friend of Henry Hooper. Joe accompanied Henry to that famous 62-0 Brown Game on Thanksgiving Day, 1903, in Manchester. Being in and around the room where Hooper and the other players changed their clothes, he put the key in his pocket and kept it for some 37 years as a famous memento. The old Manchester House is probably gone by now. .. .but I am sending the key to you. Although Joe never went to college, he never wearies in telling stories about the great Hooper."

So we have in our possession the key to Room 310 of the Old Manchester House, attached to a heavy brass tag on one side of which is still penned very legibly in ink "Dartmouth 62 Brown 0... .November 26, '03... . Room occupied by Dartmouth team." We would be glad to donate the key to anyone interested in having it for a memento.

HAROLD ROBINSON after his many years as a missionary and educator in China, is in great demand as a speaker at all sorts of functions in this country From his sermon Spiritual Bridges we quote the following: "If we really want to save our nation and save others, we must have not only material defense but spiritual defense as well. As I visit American churches in different parts of the country, I have a prayer in my heart for myself, for my country and for the church I love:

Build thou more stately bridges, O my soul, as the swift breakers roll. Leave thy narrow past, Let each new cable, longer than the last, Bind thee to others, with a span more vast, Till thou at length are free, Made one, through Christ, with all human ity.' "

MELANGE Clarke Tobin attended Dartmouth's Winter Carnival Fletch Burton is still receiving much-needed Class dues Bill Moe published an 8-page brochure, Our Three Historic MeetingHouses at the 110 th Anniversary of his church, the First Congregational Church of Guilford, Conn We saw Miriam Bankart and their two little English refu- gee boys, Graham and Alan Ardouin, at Hanover last week-end; Larry was looking for skiing up in Canada while Miriam and the youngsters were taking in a mighty busy week-end of Dartmouth sports

One of those week-ends in Hanover is tremendously interesting Seeing Harry Hillman's protegees trim Harvard in track with some fine performances sort of revitalized one's interest in that sport

There was no chance to get into the crowded swimming meet so we don't know much about that Eddie Jeremiah's hockey outfit took a game from Harvard, and it was all right to watch if one were not too exactingly technical..... Ossie Cowles' basketballers played a grand and muchneeded game to win from Columbia

Some 3,000 wildly cheering spectators packed into one wing of the Gym, from edge of the playing floor to the steel girders overhead, are a study in massed humanity. . .. .Try one of those week-ends next year if you really want a break in your normal line of life.

There are only two issues left in the current MAGAZINE year....our supply of items is exhausted.... you can help tremendously by sending us something about someone.
