Remember the dates: February 20 will be the father-sons' night and February 21 will be the Class Banquet!
Several new faces will appear at the Sno-bird Reunion this year and most of the old timers are planning to come back. Do not let worry about a room interfere. We'll find a place somewhere and if there is the slightest chance, it will be in The Inn. There have been very few who have advised the Secretary that they have sons in college. Seven freshmen, one sophomore, and three seniors appear to make up the list, but we feel sure that there are others, and we do not want to leave anyone out. If your son is omitted, do not blame us.
A nice letter from Dud Colby tells us that his son Norman has transferred from the University of Colorado to Dartmouth, following a two and one-half year stint with Uncle Sam. He is rooming in New Hampshire Hall. Dud and his wife spent two weeks in New York, the early part of October. It was a business trip, but Dud managed to attend the New York Club on Dartmouth Night, but unfortunately no '14ers were present. He has not been back to Hanover in twenty-five years, but is definitely planning to do so while his son is in college and regrets that he cannot make the Sno-bird party, which comes at a time when he is snowed under with all varieties of tax returns.
Ed Elkins recently took a trip by auto, with his wife, to Minnesota, Lake o£ the Woods, Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary, up through Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper, Glacier Park in Montana and back through the northern states. At the end of the trip, they were "surfeited with so much beauty that toward the last, it was like trying to crowd down dessert after a satisfying steak dinner. Ed writes that he is not under the terrific pressure of a year or two ago, due to a slow-down in large construction and that he is living a more normal life. If that is the case, Ed, we'll greet you on the front steps at the Sno-bird party.
Dick Barlow's older son, George '43, graduated from Rutgers Law School last June and has been admitted to the New Jersey State Bar. N.B. Anyone looking for a smart young attorney, contact Dick. Mary Jane, the youngest daughter, is to be married in February to Frank Cole, Dartmouth '46. Dick Jr. is still in Dartmouth, a senior this year, so that Dick plans to be with us, definitely, over the holiday.
Thanks to Pen Aborn, a clipping came yesterday, announcing that Leonard D. White, Professor of Public Administration at the University of Chicago, along with a Harvard Professor and an industrialist, had been awarded its top annual honors by the American Political Science Association. L. D. received the Woodrow Wilson award for his book, "The Federalist: a Study in Administrative History."
The New York Times of December 10 carries the account of the wedding of Miss EmmyLou DeVeau, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis B. DeVeau Jr., to Gordon Crothers Sleeper Jr., of Scarsdale, N. Y., in the Larchmont Avenue Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Sleeper, a provisional member of the Junior League, was graduated from Smith College and was with Time-Life International in New York. Mr. Sleeper graduated from Dartmouth and served as a fighter pilot with the rank of ist Lieutenant in the Ninth Army Air Force. He is with the Indemnity Insurance Company of North America in New York. Gordon's younger son entered Dartmouth this fall.
The October 1948 issue of The Controller, a professional journal for comptrollers and such, published monthly by the Controllers Institute of America, features an article by Jack Harris, together with his picture. The article is called "Direct Costs as an Aid to Sales Management." Editorially, the magazinegoes on to say,
"Jonathan N. Harris, Comptroller of Dewey & Almy Chemical Co., Cambridge, Mass., originated the company's present Direct Cost Accounting Method in 1933 to meet the challenge of Bradley Dewey, President, who believed that the results of orthodox standard cost accounting were too misleading for satisfactory guidance of the fast grow- ing D & A organization founded in 1919. Except for the method of distributing all overhead costs to major product groups and the Income Chart of the Direct Cost Plan presented for the first time in the current issue of The Comptroller, the sales management aspects of his article were first publicly discussed by Mr. Harris who holds C.P.A. certificates of Massachusetts and California, at a meeting of the Boston and Worcester Chapters, N.A.C.A., in late 1937 and early '38. Mr. Harris's direct cost accounting plan is currently being taught at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration." We may add that Jack's plan is widely discussed in England, where it is viewed as important in accounting circles.
Hardly a week goes by but what En Voorhees appears in the news. As Chairman, Finance Committee, United States Steel, witheight other directors, he recently attended theformal inauguration of the new Steel Sheet &Tin Plate Mill opened by Columbia Steel Co.,a subsidiary, at Pittsburg, Calif., according toUnited States Steel Quarterly. Voorhees goeson to state that America's unrivaled tools ofproduction and the hosts of those skilled andresponsible in their operation give this country potency in war equal to the abundancethey provide in peace. "More than that, theirnumber and usefulness must increase. Theyare not only the source of peacetime abundance; they are a significant preserver of thevery peace itself." He further points out thattools of production in the steel industry nowcost about twice what they did before thewar, but that Americans want more and bettertools and that the important thing is that, despite greatly increased cost, they are gettingthem.
News is purposely kept brief, this month,to make room for the Report of the AlumniFund. But we do have room to once more urgethat you gas up the old auto, or hop a freight,and get up to Hanover Friday or Saturday forthe big social event of the season—the Sno-birdparty.
