1888

The secretary recently made a brief visit to his old home at Rochester, N. H., and was disappointed in not finding Keay at his office. His friends, however, report him as active in medical work, as Medical Examiner for the county.

Richard Paul and wife, of Minneapolis, are spending February and March at Hotel Wentworth in Phoenix, Ariz. Pattee's Christmas class letter was appreciated by Paul, who was reminded of the days when Pattee was the expert organ pumper in the old chapel, freshman year.

Harold Harlow Jr., grandson of our classmate, "Tick Harlow," has been given his Dartmouth diploma as of the Class of 1942, thus making three generations of the Harlow family to graduate. He had completed his junior year when taken by the Army. During his Army service of four and a half years he studied the Malay language and Far Eastern habits at Yale, which earned him credits for his degree. He was a staff sergeant, and served in the OSS, with the Mars Task Force and the S. E. Asiatic Command in Burma, India, Ceylon and Singapore. He now plans work for a Master's Degree in sociology, with the possibility of sometime returning to the Far East.

Russell B. Livermore 'l5, son of our Arthur L. Livermore, has returned to his law practice in New York City after rendering valuable service in the Army. Entering the Office of Strategic Services in July 1941 with Major General William J. Donovan, he remained with it during the entire war. In 194 a he was commissioned a major and was promoted subsequently to colonel. His assignment with the OSS was an absorbing one, that of forming a parachute battalion to operate behind the enemy lines. He recruited these men, trained them, and was the Commander in the Mediterranean theater of operations. There were 700 officers and enlisted men who were employed in extensive projects in Greece, Yugoslavia, Italy and Southern France. The work consisted chiefly of dropping men in by parachute to various guerilla and resistance groups and arranging for their supply by air, and then leading these men into operations as directed by the various Army Headquarters. These operations were highly successful. In the winter of 1944 Colonel Livermore was sent to China with General Donovan to set up a training program for "Chinese Commandos," who were parachutists of the Chinese regular Army. These men developed into excellent soldiers and the Commandos were active in the closing days of the war in China.

From Colonel Livermore we learn that another Arthur L. Livermore walks the Dartmouth campus. He is the son of his elder brother, Henry W. Livermore. At the age of 21 he is very much a war veteran. After being commissioned a lieutenant in the Air Corps he was pilot of a heavy bomber, flying B-17's out of England against Germany. He was shot down, taken prisoner, and confined in a prison camp for fourteen months, being liberated by the Russians in the spring of 1945. He is one of the married students that has returned to the College to complete his education.

Colonel Livermore writes, "Please give my best regards to any of my Father's classmates whom you see, as I feel that I know most of them."
