1919
One of the important Committees on the Alumni Council has to do with bequests under the chairmanship of Ros Magill '16. The ALUMNI MACAZINE is publishing a series of articles on Dartmouth Bequests by Stan Jones '18, providing background on the value of bequests to the strength of the college.
Over the years, our class has taken an active part in supporting a growing interest in bequests. When Spider Martin was on the Alumni Council, he was primarily responsible for the creation of the Bequests Committee.
To carry on and extend our participation in bequests, Roger A. Clark, 319 Juniata Court (8), Pittsburgh, Pa., has agreed to serve as our class chairman. When you feel the urge to include Dartmouth College in your Will, either through the Class Memorial Fund or otherwise, Roger is available for suggestions and help in setting up the papers in the appropriate form.
Fred McCrea spent a few days in New York during the latter part of January. He planned to stop in and see Bob Stecher on his way West.
From Bill Cunningham's January nth column comes an item both interesting and refreshing to all of us who remember with pleasure our associations with Guy Cogswell in school. Said Bill: "Guy Cogswell, the old Henniker, N. H., boy who was an end of AllAmerican hue on the Dartmouth team of 1919, has a son, Guy, Jr., who may dim the old man's fame in the Green regimentals, although it will be a good trick if he can do it. Young Guy, after a career at Newton High, started after his Dad's laurels this past season as a member of the Dartmouth freshman team. One of his handicaps is going to be that whereas his old man was one of a unit that was pretty rich in material, the Dartmouth run through this era is pretty thin in the thews. The understanding is that there were only three football players in the Freshman Class. If young Guy is anything like his old man, he was two of them, but it takes about 17 or 18 more really to go anywhere.
Maulsby Forrest (Mose to us), economics and financial consultant, has recently been elected Vice-president and Treasurer of American Airlines, Inc. Mose's record has certainly been outstanding and marked with a series of successes. His handsome features appeared in the Financial Page of The NewYork Times of January 16 with the announcement. A letter from Oscar Lewis, executive of the Ethyl Gasoline Corp., living at 35 Avon Road, Larchmont, New York, commented favorably on a class birthday card, the brainchild of Ray Legg. How well we recall Ray's cartoons in the Jack o' Lantern! When LewGarrison got his hands on Ray's masterly effort, a really good job came out of it, if we do say so ourselves.
KB Johnson, who appeared at Reunion after spending most of the war years in Dallas, Texas, returned to the Lone Star State and we quote from his letter. "When I returned to Dallas, from Hanover's class-reuning, I transferred from the War Department's Engineers to the Veterans Administration branch office here (in Finance). Previously, although I'd established a home here (because of a war construction assignment) I was still a part of the district engineer's office in Galveston and, therefore, subject to return there. I'd had, however, my eye on the VA for some months previously (while I was drinking in nearly five months of annual leave, accumulated during the war); hence the transfer was merely a consummation of earlier activity.
"President Dickey took a deep dip down into the southwest, in December, and came up with a fair-sized (approximately 30) Dallas alumni dinner-gathering. I'd only be reiterating what others have previously observed, if I mentioned his talk; it was good. Since Sal Andretta's music makes him a member of all classes that have ever heard him play, I encountered his brother (who'd come over from Tyler); otherwise no particular past contact was established."
KB sent us a clipping from Life, dated December 2, where Dr. Louis Baker, a stomach specialist, was interviewed by Jean Libman Block not as a doctor, but as a Football Historian. Among the interesting items of history published in the article appeared the following: "The only way Dr. Baker has ever tried to combine medicine and football is in his special study of physically handicapped players. His gallery of one-armed and otherwise disabled heroes included E. G. Neeley, one-armed guard on the 1919 Dartmouth team who intercepted a spectacular forward pass in a West Virginia game."
Jim Capps, as President of the Alumni Association in Utica, New York, as well as director of the New York State Chamber of Commerce, finds occasional time for his own business and, at a meeting of the alumni group, organized a ski-weekend at the Turin, not far from Booneville, New York, for January 25 and 26. We hope the snow was good.
An item covering Lew Garrison, entitled, "Lew on the Lam" appeared in the New York Dartmouth Club News. We quote: "Lew Garrison '19, whose powerful presses wheel this palladium forth each month to a palpitating posterity, put on the skid chains and whirled to Kansas City for the holidays. What adventures befell and why will be told in Lew's famed Pickwickian style in our travel section next month— if we have room. Our numerous friends are always threatening to crowd out all news by substituting crass advertising appeals, but a fortitude born of several semester hours in Prof. Peter Wallace's classes has thus far enabled us to hold them back at the 2-yard line."
"Lew's son, Jim, assistant manager of the hockey team, took the team trip to the Coast and this encouraged our publisher to take one more gamble on a set of war tires."
Delving into history, we learn from KB Johnson that Spider Martin's brother, well known Republican Joe, formerly leader of the minority group in the House of Representatives and now top man in that league, is the owner of a newspaper known as The Franklin (Mass.) Sentinel, formerly published by KB's father. Incidentally, KB's father ranked with William Allen White as one of the foremost Republican editorial writers in this country.
Chet DeMond, well-known accountant and partner in the firm of Price Waterhouse and Company of 56 Pine Street, New York City, has just completed his twenty-fifth year with his firm this January. Chet tells us that he marked the event with a release from heavy duty as trustee of his church in White Plains and then adds: "I'll probably have to spend more time on some of the other jobs that have come my way since I am a lot like the girl in Oklahoma! who couldn't say no." Chet gets to the Dartmouth Club occasionally to take part in some of the bridge tournaments or matches with the other University Clubs.
Our class was ably represented by WinBatchelder, a Council member and Chairman of Memorial Gifts for the College (who really gets around the country), at the annual dinner of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Chicago at which President Dickey was the principal speaker. This was a part of the Alumni Council meetings in Chicago in Jan- uary. Among those present were: Tracy andMrs. Kohl, Ernie and Mrs. Rautenberg, LeftyFarrar and his oldest son who is studying medicine in Chicago. His second boy is an undergraduate of Dartmouth, while his third is still in preparatory school.
Bob Roland was unable to attend the din- ner because of committee meetings and con- ferences in connection with the Society of American Florists, of which he is Executive Secretary.
Bill McCarter was one of the principal speakers on the Council program, giving a detailed and most interesting report of the athletic program at Hanover.
John C.hipman writes us that his firm, Chipman and Brace, Inc., specialists in frozen foods, have opened their office at 27 State Street, Boston 9, Mass., Suite 11-12. Best of luck, John!
Bill Carto and King Cole are striving val- iantly to uphold the 1919 honors in Washing- ton, D. C. Many of the old familiar faces have disappeared from the Capital scene with the completion of service and civilian wartime duties following the end of hostilities. Carto who is with the Chesapeake and Potomac Tel- ephone Cos. and Cole who is in the Internal Revenue Bureau will be more than glad to see any lgers who happen to be in' Washin- gton. Carto's oldest daughter, Margaret, has graduated from Marjorie Webster College in Washington and is teaching in a private school in that city. His youngest daughter, Eleanor, is a junior at Dunbarton College in Washing- ton, and majoring in music. Cole's son, Don, Dartmouth '45 and Dartmouth Medical School '45, receives his MD at Harvard Medical School in June, and also his Lieutenant (jg) commission in the Navy. The son and his wife, a graduate of Mary Hitchcock Hospital, are living in Boston. He expects to intern at Mary Hitchcock in July.
Captain Ralph I. Meader, now out of the Navy after two periods of service totalling more than 11 years, is with the Northwest Aeronautical Company. He spends considerable of his time at their St. Paul office, address 1902 West Minnehaha Avenue, St. Paul, Minn., and is in Washington for brief visits once or twice a month. His wife has been with him for a visit while the boys are finishing up in school in Washington, D. C. Bruce, the older son, is graduating from St. Albans in Washington this June and is planning to enter Princeton. The younger son, Malcolm, is still at St. Albans.
A. R. "Rudy" Stewart, who has been with the Bureau of Public Dept. in Washington, is recovering from a serious back injury. Stewart still maintains his home in Baltimore and commutes daily. He reports seeing Bill Grant of Towson, Md., often. Grant is engaged in business in Baltimore.
Charlie Biddle who has been with the National City Bank and who has served in the Far East most of the 20 odd years of his business with them, has gone back to the Orient and can be reached at National City Bank of New York, Collyer Quay, Singapore, S.S. You will remember, Charlie was picked up by the Japanese and interned in Yokohama for about 8 months. After his release by the Japanese, he spent the ensuing war years in the New York City main office of the National City Bank.
William A. Eddy has moved to 21 Carvel Road, N. W., Washington 16, D. C., and Philip W. Ransom to 604 W. Ferry Street, Buffalo 13, N. Y.
