1916
Parker Hayden deserves far greater recognition for his fine work on the Alumni Fund than the present limitations permit us to accord to him. The splendid total which Parker produced this year was a 20 per cent increase over last year's total, and by that per cent is higher than any amount which the class of 1916 has contributed, since Parker was so successful last year in building up the dollar total of 1916 to a new high. This feat is the more impressive in view of the extra burdens in surgery which Parker has taken over. Furthermore, the number of contrifigure which 1916 presented last year.
Our second, and equally large, meed of honor falls naturally to Alex Jardine; his diligent efforts have kept our dues coming in. At the present writing, however, some of us have let Alex down. Ninety men have paid dues; this is not enough. Early payment saves a second bill; put yourself in Alex's place. Pay now, why not? Here is a list of the Sixteeners who deserve credit for early payment:
Abraham, Ames, Andrews, Banton, Barr, Bean, Bettes, Biel, Bobst, Brill, Brown, Brundage, Burnham, Burt, Caiman, Carleton, Cleaves, Coffin, Cole, Cutler, Dana, Davidson, Davis, Dinsmoor, Doenecke, Drury, Dudley, Eastman, Eskeline, Evans, Fenno, Filene, Fishback, Gluek, Green, Harris, Harvey, Hayden, Henderson, Herold, Holmes, Hosmer, Jardine, Jones, Kirkland, Knight, Larmon, Lincoln, Linihan, Little, Lyman, McClellan, McFalls, McKenzie, McQuesten, Magill, Mason, Merryman, Morse, Mott,. Moxon, Newmark, Nordell, Ollis, Paine, Palmer, Parker, Parkhurst, Parsons, Paul, Pratt, Riley, Shanahan, Smith, Soule, Spelke, Stearns, Steinert, Stiegler, Sully, Tapley, Thieme, Tripolitis, Tyler, Tucker, Ward, White, Williams, Wilson, Woolworth.
Fletch Andrews is reported (officially and unofficially) to be promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Roy Brahana is entering his twenty-fourth year at Illinois as professor of mathematics. Roy has three children: John, who is in the Signal Corps, and married; Thomas, seventeen last June, who is completing his first year at the University and has enlisted for service in the Air Corps; and Frances, who is fifteen.
Percy Burnham is reported to be serving in the Army as major in some special procurement service for the overseas forces.
Pete Cleaves writes that he expects to attend the Penn game in Philadelphia and hopes to meet Sixteeners there. Good idea.
Capt. John P. English reports that he is studying Italian busily at the University of Dayton—this in addition to his regular duties in the Air Service Command.
Carl Eskeline has been employed in a Civil Service job with the Marine Corps Air Station, Santa Barbara. He has bought a home and is pleasantly settled for the duration, at least.
Bob Harvey has three sons in service: Robert W. '41, Marine combat corrspondent: Alan, V-12 at Hanover; Bruce, cadet at Gulfport Field, Miss. Mrs. Harvey is director of the Springfield U.S.O. center.
Larry Hayward is engineer on submarine construction in one of our large eastern yards; no wonder they're turning 'em out.
Ed Kirkland has been nominated as trustee of the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America; vote for him, he will serve you well.
Jack Little has a daughter at the University of Michigan, a son at Andover, and another daughter at Abbott Academy. Jack says this makes him feel elderly, but he is working at Chinese with a military career in mind.
Hiram McClellan has a daughter, Laura, at the University of Texas, and a son Bob at Texas A. and M. The son would have entered Dartmouth, had the war not interfered.
Bill McKenzie's older son Bill is training as a bomber pilot, while the younger boy, Bud, is at Vermont Academy.
Ros Magill recently addressed the Controllers Institute of America on tax problems. The New York Tribune remarks editorially that he "invariably has something worth while to say," a statement which we have been making for years.
Dick Parkhurst's oldest son, John W., has been accepted by the American Red Cross Field Service for assignment with the British Army.
George Pratt writes that there is no news except that "Pratt will be 49 this month." So will a lot of us, George. Anyway, you were the first man to get dues in, Alex reports.
Ed Riley still carries handsomely the responsibilities which his connection with General Motors brings to him. He is busy, but visible at times, and reported to be as congenial as ever.
