1905
The evening before the Penn-Dartmouth game a very successful dinner and smoker was held at the Princeton-Dartmouth Club. More than sixty men from the Philadelphia area were present. Your secretary was the only member of 1905 present, but Phil Chase and Harry Heneage, who were at Dartmouth with us, attended the dinner. Interesting and informative talks were given by Bill McCarter, Whitey Fuller and Coach Tuss McLaughry.
The death of George S. Dunlap, Dartmouth '40, has just been reported. George died as the result of an automobile accident in April. He was the oldest son of our John Dunlap, and his mother was Fanny M. Gates, sister of our Don Gates. The sincere sympathy of the class is extended to all the family in their tragic loss.
Long before this issue of the MAGAZINE reaches you, you will have received a statement of class dues including the subscription to the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE. A prompt response will be greatly appreciated by your secretary and treasurer as much time and effort will be saved if you will do this. Many replies have come in. The MAGAZINE is being sent to all members of the class except the very few whose addresses are unknown and I am sure every member of the class is glad/ to have it under this group arrangement. Please notify me promptly if your copy is not coming through. Also let me know of any change in address and I will see that the Alumni Records Office is notified.
Some of you may wonder why news items or death notices do not appear sooner in the MAGAZINE but I think a word of explanation will explain this. All material for the MAGAZINE must be in the office by the 10th of the month preceding the month of issue, so if you wish any item to appear in the January issue I must have it in my hands by the 5th of December so it can be typed and sent to the editor by December 10 th.
I had the good fortune to spend a few days in October at my old home in Somersworth, N. H. The hills and lake shores were a glorious picture in their autumn robes. To me, who had not seen New Hampshire in all her glory for over forty years, it was a rare treat and brought many happy recollections of the beauty of the Hanover countryside at that time of the year.
At the celebration of the University of Buf; falo's Centennial, Ed Day took a prominent part. I quote from the Buffalo News: "A panel of three distinguished personalities in American higher education will combine their talents in one of the foremost events of the University's Centennial celebration." The members of the panel were Chancellor Hutchins of the University of Chicago, President Graham of the University of North Carolina and President Day of Cornell University. Their subject was "The Future of University Education." In addition to his many other responsibilities and honors, Ed has become President of the Board of Trustees of the three Associated Colleges of Upper New York. These three colleges have been established to help solve the problem of the tremendous demand for higher education which the older colleges cannot begin to meet. One of these three colleges, Champlain at Plattsburg, has opened its doors to women and two hundred co-eds will be admitted. We know that these colleges will be a success with a man like Ed Day as President of the Board of Trustees.
In a recent issue of the Montclair (N. J.) Times an article headed, "They Serve the Town" our George Putnam is featured. George, as we all know, has been at Montclair High School since 1909 as Head of the Foreign Language Department. In 1929 he became assistant principal, which position he now fills. I learned other things about George which I did not know, for George is a very modest person. Among other accomplishments he has a reading knowledge of at least a dozen languages and during the war he taught Japanese to a class of students enrolled in the Victory Corps. He has contributed frequent articles to the Classical Weekly. One of his articles, "Evoking Interest in Students," is quoted in Thomas H. Brigg's book on Secondary Education published by the Columbia University Press. Congratulations, George, on your long and successful work in the teaching profession.
