1910

We find ourselves settling into another year of reasonable serenity after a highly enjoyable Reunion plus the other factors that keep life fluid, mindful that we have passed the age of sartorial perfection and gullibility for starryeyes panaceas that will free mankind from aches, pains and old-fashioned rheumatism. But let all of that remain as it is—life still remains tremendously interesting and full for men of our generation.

Ben Williams' new book is due this fall. Don Greenwood is in charge of the estate of the Theosophical Society of America at Wheaton, Ill Ken Phelps was appointed Chief of the Staff of Abbott Hospital in Minneapolis Julius Warren has started his new work as Superintendent of Schools at University City, Mo., with some teaching assignments at the University Mike Elliott had 3,800 students taking last year's first course in Psychology Department at University of Minnesota Irving Scott summered in New Hampshire.

Julius, by the way, had a very interesting feature article in May issue of The ChristianRegister published by the Unitarian Church, entitled "Horace Mann—and Today's Race between Education and Chaos."

Mann, wrote Julius, was a statesman and liberal humanitarian at the age of 41, but with little or no experience as an educator, who chose to devote rest of his life to the cause of education because he saw in it the only way of salvation for society, both materially and spiritually, for this potentially great country of which he was a part. He aspired for education to be the great force for the welfare of man.

Interestingly enough, our own Rollie Reynolds was headmaster of the famous Horace Mann School in New York for many years.

At the Reunion we missed many of the oldtimers who sent in their regrets at their inability to be present—but with promises of attendance four years hence in 1950: Ben Williams, Ralph Van Zandt, Shing Sherwin, Lefty West, Allen Doggett, Micky Holmes, Rollie Reynolds, Chet Scott, Lew' Williams, Les Wiggin, Jim Ingalls, A1 Ferguson, Heinie Barrett, Earle Pierce.

SECOND GENERATIONERS:—Marjorie Scarlett engaged to Gale Miner, son of Mrs. Eva G. Miner of Arlington, Va., and Mr. P. H. Miner of Pittsburgh, Pa. He attended Colorado College and is now studying at Columbia. Lew Williams' son, Lewis Jr. '38, served five years to a day in Infantry and Special Air Force, in Italy, France, Germany and Norway. His brother David, also Air Force, enters College this fall. "Bennie" Benjamin, out of the Service, is back in Dartmouth accompanied by his wife and seven-months old daughter Nancy. Kenneth Dyer, now in Germany, wants to enter Dartmouth to study medicine when discharged from the Army. Dick Sherwin has returned to Vermont Printing Co. and is living with wife and two children in Brattleboro.

Frank Meleney continues his experimental work in medicine. At the annual Clinic Day of Presbyterian Hospital, he described his efforts to date with a new antibiotic (bacitracin), so called because it was first discovered in a culture taken from the wounds of a girl injured in an automobile accident—bacitracin attacks some living organisms similar to those attacked by penicillin.

Last year Harold Judd was advised by his physician to get away from the business grind. After spending the winter in Florida, he and his wife moved to her former home in Cloquet, Minn., where he has indulged in gardening, home remodelling, health building with notable success in each.

Jack Clough died in Memphis, Tenn., on June 10, after an illness of several years. Atkins Nickerson passed away unexpectedly at his home in Melrose on August 9. Obituaries for both will appear in the In Memoriam section.

Onward and upward is always the story with Easty who has been elected a vice president of General Mills—after having been the organizing president of their chemical division, the soy bean section.

In the same category belongs John VanderPyl who was made executive vice president of American Machine & Metals with a transfer to the New York office from East Moline, Ill., where he made an outstanding four-year record in building gun mounts, mobile laundries, airborne tractors, tank fans by the thousands.

With the new college year swinging into gear, you'll be receiving dues reminders from Fletch Burton, 1910's Master of Finance—early payment will ease the task of a very busy business man.

And while you are in the mood, you might send us an item or two about yourself, your family or some Tenner you know about.
