1914
I just had the pleasure of reading a short note written by "Rosie" Hinman, the second, to my son, Don, both having had one year in the class of '46. Old man Hinman has blacklisted me entirely—can't get a letter from him no matter how hard I try. The boy is convalescing in England from w'ounds received on Thanksgiving Day and from his own report is doing nicely. He, apparently, like my own youngster, is going back to Hanover when this mess is over. Smart kids, both of them.
And from John Burleigh comes two paragraphs taken from a letter recently received
from Jack Dellinger. I quote from John's letter as follows:
Jack has been in France since last August. He was with the Ninth Army most of the time, but recently advised us that he wasn't with them anymore. He did brag that his was the first artillery across the I took a battery across the Ramegan Bridge myself on December 12, 1918.
For some time his address has shown that he is a corporal. He finally said that they had made him one so that he could get out of debt to the Army and all the fellows, after a leave he had had in Paris. Like all the rest of the GI's, he doesn't tell you anything, but he did say that the Germans raised hell for driving across their lawns.
Letters like that give us faith in this new generation. Am glad John sent me the letter because it helps me to understand why they just made Don Drake a corporal with a "T."
As these notes are being written, the collapse of Germany is being reported. On my desk are several snapshots just received from Alec Tuck and his gang. When one looks at that bunch, it is easy to understand what has happened. After fifty missions the "Black Panther" looks a bit tired, but still capable of plenty of trouble.
Bill Holway is senior partner of a partnership of four. His wife Frances, elder son D. K. (electrical engineer in charge of installation generating unit at Pensacola Power House), and Lt. (jg) William H. Holway '4l, who is located at the San Pedro, Base (Terminal Island in California). He is Naval architect. The partnership is engaged in general consulting work, especially water works, sewage, and hydro-electric plants.
The following are a few address changes or confirmations recently received from Hanover: James M. Wulpi, Apt. B-24, Park View Apartments, Harrisburg, Pa., or c/o T. W. A., Inc., Penn-Harris Hotel, Harrisburg, Pa.; Bradley Harrison is living at 200 Forest Avenue, Oak Park, 111., where he is sales manager of Electric Supply Corp.; James R. Gould, 529 W. 186 th St., Haigh Apt. 31, N. Y. C.; Chester L. Walcott, 338 N. Washington St, Bastrop, La.; Frank A. Llewellyn, Box 1302, Clewiston, Fla., is a flight instructor at Riddle Field, Clewiston, Fla.; Leland S. Bullis, 400 Oxford Street, Rochester, N. Y.
Can anyone give me information as to the whereabouts of Harold Morse? His last address was Harlowton, Montana, but mail to that address receives no reply and some has been returned. Also, George P. Forbes. His mail is being returned from Brook St., Reading, Mass. If any information is available, will you notify the secretary or the Alumni Records Office.
No more ardent Dartmouth man ever rooted for the College than Ernie Kimball. Ernie always shows up at all class functions at Boston or Hanover adds greatly to these parties by his quiet friendliness. It is nice to be able to print a picture this month of Ernie. With Chuck Kingsley's picture last fall, this again starts the ..parade of the Executive Committee. Dutch Burnham has promised his picture and Bob Hopkins is hereby instructed to send his at once (preferably with coat tails flying along the sidelines at Meridan, N. H.), and, if Rosie Hinman takes us off the black-list, we may get his.
Clyde Buckley has recently become manager of the New York office of the United Carr Fastener Cos. Buck has been with the Cambridge plant of this company for over twenty-five years and, although the Boston Alumni loses a valued member, New York will gain a good man. New York 'l4'ers take note.
Late in March Major George Briggs, expert on farms, apples, and shooting rats, as well as affairs military, came down from Hanover and spent a few days in the "Home of the Bean and the Cod." It was nice to see him again and at a small luncheon at the Statler, Ernie Kimball, Aborn, Burleigh, and the writer enjoyed an hour with George.
At the moment the Interim, Report on the Alumni Fund shows 1914 leading the Green Derby Group 2 in the Participation Index, but with contributions from only '94. You have noted that the average gifts are running 25 per cent higher than last year, but many have not yet been heard from. By the time this is in print we should have climbed well above sixteenth place on the general list. If you haven't done so, don't wait another minute; write that check now and don't hold back o,n the amount. There never has been a time when Dartmouth so needed your help as now.
Read the following quotations from letters received in Hanover:
FROM '4O M SGT. IN ETO: "Although I sent my contribution to the Alumni Fund the first of the year I see by a recent 'lndian Drum' that the goal is ten dollars more than last year, so I'm enclosing a money order to help meet the goal—in a world where most goals are unattainable and most goal makers subject to ridicule, it's a pleasure to be able to meet so worthy a goal so easily."
FROM '39 EXEC ON DESTROYER INPACIFIC: "I intend to keep a straight record as a supporter of the best liberal arts college in the world."
If Dartmouth means that to these boys, can you still sit here in luxury and donate to the Alumni Fund as if it were the collection plate in church?
