1922
It was a swell summer for the Marshall family and we hope that every Twoter family has benefited from a fine vacation spent in friendly and beautiful surroundings, and that you are all back on the job refreshed and eager to go.
This is October, but before we know it, June of 1947 will be here—and that means our 25th Reunion. The dates will be set by the College in a week or so. Mark this month indelibly on your calendar and in your mind, and Mrs. Twoter too!—and you prospective Dartmouth men, tell Dad that you must get to Hanover next June to look the place over! The Reunion committees will be announced soon, and if you are asked to help, put your shoulder to the wheel. There is only one TWENTY-FIFTH in our lifetime, and let's make it good!
Now for some of the news items that have come in during the last few months-
Seen at the Hanover Inn during the summer were Ced Porter, Sterry Waterman, Gene Hotchkiss, Stan Miner, Red Boyd, Elizabeth and Killie Kilmarx, Elena and Ray Millemann, Mary Emily and Dick Litchfield, Frances and Duke Vos Burgh, and Charlotte, Donald and Andy Marshall. Did I miss any? —hope not.
Red Boyd, insurance executive of Chattanooga (Trotter, Boyd and Keese) reports a serious operation some months ago, but now claims to be better than ever. Red's son has entered Dartmouth this fall.
Gaylord Anderson has been designated by the University of Minnesota regents as first holder of the Mayo professorship of public health. The chair has been permanently endowed by the Mayo Properties Association.
You will recall that Gay was professor and head of the School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health prior to his leave from July '42 to March '46, serving in the office of the Surgeon-General of the Army with the rank of colonel. Most hearty congratulations to you, Gay.
The recent and important move of Jim Hamilton in his field of hospital administration deserves greater publicity in the class than the brief mention in the March 29th issue of The Twoter.
Jim, as you know, has made a tremendous success iia that field, having been superintendent of the Mary Hitchcock Hospital in Hanover and later of the 1600-bed City Hospital of Cleveland, and since 1938, director of the New Haven Unit of Grace-New Haven Community Hospital, as well as lecturer on Hospital Administration with rank of professor at Yale.
Some months ago he retired from administrative work to form, with a few other specialists, the firm of James A. Hamilton & As- sociates, consultants on hospital affairs. Services will include community need surveys, building and equipment consultation, management and advisory service in organization, medical staff relations, nursing staff relations, personnel management and accounting and executive controls. Temporarily, headquarters will be maintained at New Haven, with permanent offices very likely in New York or Chicago.
Jim will assume full-time direction of the firm, the first of its kind, and we all wish him good luck as he charts his new course. His outstanding success as a hospital administrator, and leadership as president of the American College of Hospital Administrators, and as consultant, surely augers well for the firm which bears his name.
Brooks Brothers' new president, John Wood, is chairman of the executive committee of the New York University School of Retailing, a director and vice president of the Fifth Avenue Association, member of the executive committee of the Retail Dry Goods Association of New York and a director of the Better Business Bureau of New York.
Dick Willis and his charming wife Mary Louise have taken up residence in Bedford, N. H., adjoining Manchester, the center of Dick's life insurance business. All Twoters are urged to stop by if in the vicinity. Dick reports on a Hanover visit earlier this year and seeing Red Boyd, Miner, Waterman and Olsen.
From Beverly Hills, Calif., comes word that lawyer Wes Nutten and Margaret, along with the boys, Wes III and Donald, will be on deck in Hanover for our 25th Reunion. Wes III, by the way, has made application to enter Dartmouth in the fall of '47.
Tom Lenci is now vice president (sales) of Pope and Gray, Inc., 95 Morton St., New York City, ink and varnish manufacturers, having resigned as treasurer of Sun Chemical Corporation (formerly General Printing Ink Co.). For the record, Tom and Louise have a family of three—Thomas, 20, Shirley Louise, 19, and Gordon Kent, 13.
During mid-May, Nig Hayes of Oklahoma City was on an extended eastern trip and while he was in Trenton, N. J., for the annual gathering of the American Guernsey Breeders Association, Stan Miner and I went down to have lunch with him. We had hoped for a larger group of classmates to greet Nig as befits an eminent banker and a loyal Twoter, but other plans and weather interfered. Nig, you remember, owns a large farm and specializes in blue ribbon Guernsey cattle. After lunch we went over to the auction conducted by the Association, and had Miner and I simply nooded or wiggled a finger by mistake, we sure as hell would have left the ring as the owner of "a lovely individual!"
My travels in and about New England thispast summer, both on business and vacation,enabled me to see or visit with quite a fewTwoters, to wit: Lois and Bob Booth, Carleton, Willis and Amos Ly'ford in Manchester, N. H., the Olsens in Hanover; Bullen, the Hoyts and Porter in Boston and the Dwights at Sunapee.
So long for now—see you next month.
Secretary, 1837 Arlington St., Bethlehem, Pa. Treasurer, 143 East Ave., Norwalk, Conn. Memorial Fund Chairman 38 Newbury St., Boston, Mass.
