1907*
As indicated in the February MAGAZINE, Class Reunion dates have been fixed (as definitely as dates can be fixed in wartime), as May 15, 16 and 17, a week after the early Commencement, Our Reunion Committee proposes to proceed with its original plan which at no time has contemplated an elaborate program. Freedom of action, opportunity to visit with classmates and enjoyment of Hanover in spring-time seem to be the wishes of those who have expressed themselves, and are in harmony with war conditions. Announcement of a class program will be made later, but you may assume that the Class Dinner will be the chief event, with a golf tournament (for those who are interested) a strong probability. The usual Alumni Luncheon and a Yale-Dartmouth baseball game are also scheduled.
The Reunion Committee recognizes the difficulty of making definite plans in these times, and will not expect to know far in advance what the attendance will be, but it will assume that many will value the privilege and the opportunity of returning to the College more than ever. However large or small the attendance, the Thirty-Fifth will be a success, and an event to cherish!
A report that Morris Smith has again entered the Medical Service of the Army, in which he served so ably in the First World War, is now confirmed by the following letter from "Mike":
"Some time ago the Army Medical Department asked us at St. Luke's if we would get together the professional staff for an Evacuation Hospital. We were glad to do this, and being able to qualify and without dependents, I climbed aboard. We were put on active duty January 22, and sent here to Fort Devens where the unit is being assembled. A regular army medical officer is the commander and other positions on the executive staff are being filled by regulars or others, but the professional part of the staff is St. Luke's and there are also a large proportion of the nurses from St. Luke's.
"We don't know how long we are to be here but we think we have a good chance for overseas service. Incidentally there are four Dartmouth men in the unit. I am the only one ancient enough to have gotten a medical degree at Hanover. The other men are Robert W. Fraser '34, Robert Birchall '36 and Myron Wright '37, all fine fellows.
"This is an excellent camp and we are both comfortable and well fed."
Dr. "Tute" Worthen has a son Fred in college.
"I am practicing Pediatrics in New York City and surrounding country, ranging from the Battery to Hudson Bay and in general East of the Alleghanies. There are probably other animals that have this same habitat. I have one wife and two children, which children were with me at the last reunion and their existence noted, I think. War activities: Air Raid Warden, sworn to flee the country at the first raid; and arm-chair strategist, the latter of the
most active sort." .... Who fits these specifications? .... Jack Hammond, of course! Bill Cummings has recently been appointed a member of the Woolen and Worsted Advisory Committee of OPM. Bill's business is the Old Town Woolen Company, Guilford, Maine.
Three '07 men were actually seen in church one Sunday in January. They were Fred Baldwin, George Grebenstein and George Liscomb attending the Daniel Webster Memorial Service in Sandwich on Cape Cod. Later in the day Greb's daughter, Victoria, placed a laurel wreath from "Men of Dartmouth" on Webster's grave in Marshfield, Mass.
Recent messages from Bill Jennings in La Jolla, Calif, and from Parker Tabor in Beecher Falls, Vt. indicate two widely separated classmates are young in spirit and brimming with loyalty to the class and the College!
Secretary, 140 Federal St., Boston, Mass.
