Thayer School
AT THE TIME of this writing, the ThayerSchool Register is in the hands of the printer who is working at top speed in order to get it ready for mailing before the Christmas rush. We have every hope that your copy will reach you before the middle of December. Thanks to the splendid cooperation of the alumni, the Register contains a wealth of interesting individual biographical information and group statistics. Some returns have been received too late for inclusion and will be used in this column in abbreviated form.
I have recently returned from a trip to Detroit to attend the annual meeting of the Engineers Council for Professional Development where I was fortunate enough to meet several Thayer School alumni. Allen Richmond '15, Assistant to the Secretary of the AM.Soc.C.E., was there representing the staff of that Society. Morton Withey '05, Dean of Engineering at the University of Wisconsin, attended the meetings.
After the conferences were over, I met with those alumni in the Detroit area who could arrange to be with us at such an inconvenient time as 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon and we had a fine get-together: Al Richmond, Tom Candler '45 (TT'47), Ray Snell TT'44, and Don Miesel '47. Tom, since returning from the South Pacific and Phillipines where the Navy sent him, returned to Hanover for a year of Tuck-Thayer and has since been Engineer and Project Manager for Candler & Bass, Inc., in Detroit, Ray went direct from the Navy to the Ford Motor Company where he is engaged in financial analysis work. Don served for a year after graduation as Ensign, USNR, on the Pacific Coast and since his return to home has been studying accounting at Wayne University.
Donald Derickson '02, formerly head of the school of civil engineering at Tulane University and now Emeritus Professor of Civil Engineering, has had many honors bestowed on him for his contributions to engineering education and practice. Most recent of these
honors was his recent election to Honorary-Membership in the Am.Soc.C.E. Jamie Thomas '41 has changed his address to 451 East 14 Street, Apt. 4G, New York 9, N. Y for very good reason. On September 10 Jamie was married to Dee Anne Bonsib of Scarsdale in the Church of Saint James the Less. After a two-week weddinotrip to Bermuda at the time of the September hurricane, the Thomases took up homemakmg at the above address. Dee Anne is studying for her Doctor's degree in psychology at Columbia.
Bob Keane 48, instructor in civil engineering at Thayer School, Roy Cahoon '47 and Dave Wilcox '47 assisted as ushers at the wedding on October 23 of Jesse Chad-well 47. Another Thayer Schooler in attendance was Roy Stifler '47. The bride was Audrey Albert of Lexington, Mass., and the ceremony was held in the Hancock Memorial Congregational Church in that town. The Chadwells' new home is at 2229 Ashland, Apt. 3, Toledo, Ohio, where Jesse is a construction engineer for E. B. Badger & Sons Company of Boston.
Congratulations to Malcolm Garftnk '43 and the Mrs. on the arrival in their family on September 4 of Miss Christine Marie.
Fred Munkelt '09, long-time secretary of the Dartmouth Society of Engineers and loyal supporter of the Society and the School, is author of a paper entitled "Air Purification and Deodorization by Use of Activated Carbon" which was published as Section 2 of the September 1948 issue of Refrigerating Engineering. The publication's by line on the author states, "F. H. Munkelt, who is vicepresident of W. B. Connor Engineering Corporation, has been connected with the development of absorbers for odor control in ventilating systems from its start. A member of the ASRE (American Society of Refrigerating Engineers) since 1937, he has presented several national meeting papers on the subject of odor control."
Paul Halloran '20 spent the month of October in Chuquicomata, Chile, setting up a $130 million contract for the construction of a suphide plant for Anaconda Copper Company.
Jack Roseboom TT'43 has joined the faculty of Indiana University this fall as an instructor in economics. Jack lives with his family (wife and child) in Apt. 1, Building 12, Hoosier Courts, Bloomington, Indiana.
Congratulations to Charlie Kessler '48 on his marriage this fall. Sorry, details are lacking. Charlie is working in the firm of Charles A. Kessler, Builders, Philadelphia.
An interesting picture involving a Thayer School alumnus appeared in the October issue of Civil Engineering. This showed Thorndike Saville '15, Dean of Engineering at New York University, a past director of the Am. Soc.C.E., with his father, Caleb M. Saville, manager and chief engineer of the Hartford, Conn., Water Bureau and life member of the AM.Soc.C.E., and his son Thorndike Saville Jr. a graduate student at the University of California, a junior member of the Am.Soc.C.E.
In October I had the good fortune to represent Dartmouth at the installation of Dr. Jess Davis as President of the Clarkson College of Technology in Potsdam, New York. While there I had fine visits with ThorndikeSaville who was delegate from New York University, Dr. John P. Brooks, CSD '85, past president of Clarkson, and Larry Falls '43, instructor of civil engineering at that institution. In the hustle of the weekend I did not have an opportunity for a visit with WilliamH. Allison '18, Assistant Professor and Acting Head of Clarkson s Civil Engineering Department. While in Potsdam I enjoyed the prac tically overwhelming hospitality of EddieDeans D. C. '29, Walter Sisson D. C. '17 and Rufus Sisson D. C. '14. The latter two men are Trustees of Clarkson College and vicepresidents of the Racquette River Paper Company. For part of the weekend I joined a group of Clarkson Trustees and other guests at a "logging camp" where the Sisson hospitality knew no bounds.
