1922
Doc Cotton's son, Albert J. Colton '47, who graduated last June as valedictorian of his class and is presently studying at Yale Law School, is one of three Dartmouth men recently awarded Rhodes scholarships. The fact that, since 1904, Dartmouth's total Rhodes Scholars number 25 indicates that Doc has grounds to be extremely proud of his boy's achievement.
The two sons of Dick Stetson, George and Richard Jr., are at Fessenden School in Newton, Mass. Ray Atwood sent me a picture of the school's 1947 midget football team showing George Stetson in the front row holding the ball, a privilege accruing to him in his capacity as captain of the team.
Len Jr., the oldest son of Len Morrissey, whose undergraduate training was split between Dartmouth and the University of Rochester (N. Y.), will be graduating from Tuck School in June. He and his wife have been living at Wigwam Circle. Reliable information indicates that Len had better pick up his cane, spectacles and slippers and head for the seat by the fireplace, the proper spot for a grandfather. Come to think of it, this is going to make George McCarthy a great-uncle.
A recently published essay, Lucy Crawford'sBounty Land Warrant, by Dick Wood relates an interesting history of a pioneer of the White Mountains. A footnote describes Dick as a New Hampshire man who has retained his interest in his native state and its history. Dick is in Washington working in the National Archives.
Just a few days ago I learned the sad news that Frank Hutchins lost his wife last summer. She passed away June 15, after an extended illness. The former Angie M. Hammond, she and Frank were married in 1928.
Andy Marshall was in Boston for several days in January on business. He managed to shed his business responsibilities long enough to spend an evening with the Haskell Cohns,Carter Hoyts and Carroll Dwights at Haskell's home in Brookline and an evening with your correspondent. His 8-millimeter color film movies taken at Reunion have been reassembled and titled. Andy graciously has offered to loan them to any classmates who may wish to run them off. You will find them very interesting. Upon application, Andy will mail them to you (I believe they are in two reels) and your only obligation will be to return them promptly.
The Boston Alumni Association held its annual dinner at the Hotel Statler, on February 4. The general attendance was off as compared with last year's and our Class was no exception in that respect. The following braved cold, snow and uncertain transportation to be among those present: GrayBates, Carroll Dwight, Bob Hight, Fran Leland, Dick Litchfield, Len Morrissey, OscarRice, George Stanley, Dick Willis and your correspondent. Ced Porter made a reservation to attend the dinner but at the last minute let business interfere and took off for Battle Creek, Mich.
