More Eisberg

The following from the New YorkHerald-Tribune of February 8, Page 13: IS EISBERG WITH BYRD? "As this is written, the entire Washington Bureau of the New York HeraldTribune is wildly engaged in checking up on a rumor that the chief medical operative on the Byrd Antarctic Expedition is named Eisberg." And from an adjoining column the same day, same page:

YES, EISBERG IS "Bulletin from Washington—it is Eisberg, Commander Harry G. Eisberg. What do you know?"

Well, New York Herald Tribune, the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE'S Department of Amplification can tell you a thing or two. For one, it is Harry B. (for Belleville), not G. Three or four others: he is a graduate of Dartmouth College, Class of 1936, the Dartmouth Medical School and McGill University's Medical School. He is a regular Navy Medical Corps officer, was flight surgeon with a Navy squadron in the Pacific, and on the USS Kwajalein among other billets, during the late unpleasantness.

On an assignment with the Navy last summer he acquired part of a skeleton of a 600-pound polar bear which was killed west of North Devon Island and some marine invertebrates which were swimming in the frigid waters (2933° F-) Thule, Greenland. He recently presented his acquisitions to the Zoology Department of Dartmouth College, and hopes to come by more specimens for that department while in Antartica.
