1923*

With this, the Annual Alumni Fund Issue of the MAGAZINE, the 1941 AlumniFund Campaign officially gets under way.It is almost unnecessary to bring to yourattention the tremendous proven value ofthe Alumni Fund to Dartmouth College.In latter years the decrease in large bequests to all colleges has been pronouncedand Dartmouth is no exception. In theseturbulent times one more and more isbrought to realize the real need of meneducated in liberal arts colleges. In England today men in colleges are not onlydiscouraged from entering military servicebut are rarely accepted for such service.Pres. Hopkins aptly stated a year ago thatwhen this war was over there would notonly be a bankruptcy of finances but abankruptcy of intellect as well. Your giftto Dartmouth College through the AlumniFund will serve to allay this threatenedintellectual bankruptcy.

In 1940 the class of 1925 with the largest objective of any class contributed $4,046.13. For the first time in our history ruenot only reached but exceeded our objective and we can do it again this year. Thisoutstanding result was made possible bythe contributions of 91% of our class.

The task of keeping our class in thishallowed circle of 100% classes is a verydefinite challenge which your hard-working class agents willingly accept. Becausethere is a tremendous amount of work required of these men who give sacrifcinglyof their time and energy, you can help bycontributing early, thus easing their burden. They will all welcome it. Here's toyou and to the success of the 1941 AlumniFund!

SHERM CLOUGH, Boston. WARD HILTON, Chicago. BABE MINER, New York.

There is little that can be added to this statement, except speaking for the Executive Committee, to assure Babe, Sherm, Ward, and their agents that we are all sincerely grateful to them for having led 1923 to such high Fund accomplishment. So, let us back them up again this year and right to the limit!

And. now, hats off to our N. Y. delegation which on Feb. 5 staged a class dinner which goes down in our class history as one of the best, if not one of the first exclusively '23 dinners, ever put on. A quote from the announcement will serve better than anything else to convey to you the spirit of the evening"l923's FIFTH DOWN DINNER. It's a triple threat affair. Class dinner—Sound movies of the First Photo Finish in Football—Relevant remarks by Bill Slater, NBC sports announcer."

In reply to this enticing announcement a grand gang of 36 Hooper-Doopers turned out for an evening of so much fun that it brought forth a unanimous vote to make it an annual from here in. I regret that space does not permit a listing of all 36 stalwarts but suffice it to say that the "regulars" were on deck and in addition a fine group of first timers who everyone was especially delighted to welcome, including George Behringer, Sol Levine, Ernie Mathews, and Sol Cohn—hardly a first timer in '23 affairs it marked the Metropolitan debut of Monk Keith—Bob McMillan was on hand to represent the Executive Committee—a very welcome wire of regrets was received and read from Capt. Jim Kraft (Field Artillery West Point '24).

After being the only '23er at several Southern California Dartmouth affairs Cap Palmer tired of reuning with himself and got busy on our '2g delegation with a 200% increase at a recent Dartmouth-Cornell dinner as the Result—Hartley Caldwell and Dr. Karl Stadlinger making up the increase. As previously reported Hartley's son is a freshman at Dartmouth this year and Hartley spent most of the evening sounding off with amazed pride that the boy hadn't flunked out first semester—in fact, he got an A in Math which caused Cap and Stad to suggest that Hartley should insist on a blood test to definitely establish paternity. Cap reports that Stad looks just the same as he did in school, although he has developed a keen liking for the Southland climate, stemming no doubt from that freshman year winter he spent on crutches after a ski crack-up. He is still in general practice in Burbank, Cal., but recently has started to specialize in internal medicine. Stad was the only cross-breed at the dinner, having gone to Cornell Medical (1927) after Hanover.

A Worcester Dartmouth Club dinner this past week brought out all the old standbys and in addition a couple of newcomers in Ed Fairbanks from Westboro and Ike Coulter from Clinton. Nothing new on Ike but Ed was broadcasting the good news that after passing them up for twelve years Friend Stork finally found the Fairbanks' home last October with Albert Harris Fairbanks. Ed, who is a partner in the Westboro Underwear Cos., says he meets quite regularly with Clarence Goss, the buyer of such for W. T. Grant.

Maybe I haven't been hitting the right places this winter but I can usually count on bumping into, (not literally, please,) some of the gang on my few ski weekends. Did see Bill Blake at Northfield over a snowless New Year's, doing us all proud by leading a square dance New Year's Eve and cutting additional fancy capers on the ice the next morning. And last weekend I exercised the very poor judgment of following Stan Richmond down one of the tow hills near Hanover. Stan, incidentally, is just about to go from the sublime to the ridiculous—N. H. snows to Florida beaches —or maybe it's just me that is nuts because Ted Caswell is down there now, Irish Flanigan took a southern cruise to get in shape to handle the Fund Newsletter assignment, and Jim Landauer advises that there was an impromptu '23 reunion at Nassau recently, the reuners being Jim, Charlie Zimmerman, the Jack Booths, the Bill Kelleys, and the Pem Whitcombs.

Donald P. Gaver, better known at Ted, still is living in St. Paul but has had to come to Minneapolis to eke out a living. He has been with C. F. Albrecht Cos., jobbers in leather goods ever since he got out of college. In order to keep him satisfied they have had to make him Vice-President and Treasurer. In 1925 he was married to Dorothea Haman, which marriage has resulted in one boy, 14, and one girl. 12. Like all former stars of the '23 freshman baseball team, he has gone in for athletics in a big way; badminton and golf are now the sports in which he tries to keep his weight down. Ted is also very active in the affairs of the Episcopal Church organizations in St. Paul to the point where he is considered one of the powers behind the throne. The author of this line on Ted asks to be kept anonymous, so I will respect his wishes but I wonder if it would be betraying a confidence if I mentioned he played an awful lot of end on the Dartmouth football teams of 20, 21, and 22, and as recently as 1958 looked simply fetching in a Hula Hula outfit.

Dr. Herb Home was recently elected Chairman of the Haverhill, Mass., Board of Health Hope you all saw the fine picture of Carl Gray and the equally fine article about his "Connecticut Plan" in TIME, February 24 Jim Young's latest step takes him to Springfield, Vt., where he was recently appointed Officer Manager of the John T. Slack Corp., manufacturers of reworked wool....Matt Jones and Jules Rippel collaborated recently in putting over the annual Green Door Players Assembly Ball, THE social event of northern N. J.—Matt General Chairmaning the affair, and Rip ushering.

April 1921

Vacation ended on the 13th and the boys flocked back from southern trips.... the Glee Club stayed on the road an extra week. Strawberry jiggers came in at Putnam's... .senior canes sprouted. .. .John Spaghett having gone home to Italy sent a friend to announce the spring and sell plaster pipe racks and statuettes. Gray, Howe, and Smith J. F. made the tennis team.... Hertzberg was elected captain by the fencers Smith O. M., Tifft, Friedman, Sloat, and Williams J.

P., Angell, Mason, Palmer, Schryver, Reed, Williams, and Mills Pete Howe was honored (?) with the presidency of the Rhode Island Club and Art Little made secretary. Sherwood Eddy lectured four times, to crowds that overflowed Webster, on A Working Philosophy of Life. The book of the day was Mam Street on which the Dartmouth ran a three column review.

... .Spring was in the air and cast an extra glamour on all things feminine which included at frequent intervals the faces and figures on the movie screen of Phillis Haver, Marie Prevost and the other Mack Sennet girls Oh Boy! '23 Up!
