1903

Ernest R. Groves, professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina, has compiled Volume II of the American Family Magazine Book Foundation during the past year. The volume has been spoken of not only as a tribute to the leadership which Dr. Groves has given in this field, but it also is a means of bringing together in a single volume the viewpoints of leaders in a number of kindred fields.

Professor Groves has been teaching at North Carolina now for sixteen years, and his development of the subject of sex education has been notable. His wife, Gladys Hoagland Groves, is a teacher and writer in the same fields.

It has been several years since Al Stockwell has permitted any of us to look upon his smiling countenance, but Al came down from St. John, N. B., to the Hub of the Universe around December 3, and I have it upon unquestionable authority that Al is looking well, feels fine, and is enjoying life.

We hear much about the electronic developments of the present and future, and from Lewis Haney comes word of his experience in "telecasting" from Albany for the Albany Times-Union and the General Electric Company. He writes, "As yet, however, the process is rather difficult and reaches only about sixty miles to a few people" (Nov. 14, 1943). Lewis reports his family not only well but enlarged by the presence of a second granddaughter. Besides writing a daily column of business analyses for a chain of newspapers, he teaches in the Graduate School of Business Administration of New York University, and finds time to make furniture and. ride horseback. Another human dynamo I would say.

Herb Follett of San Francisco writes that the human dynamo stuff is just what is demanded of a "small variety store" business in 'Frisco during this period, for it keeps him jumping from morn to far into the night. Herb's son John Dartmouth '37 is a lieutenant (jg) on a destroyer, as chief gunnery officer. Daughter Katherine has placed Herb on the the roles of the Grandfather's Club with two little girls—one three years old and the other almost two.
