1900

Remembrances of the golden fiftieth are still with us. The picture appended to these notes is that of one of the many groups present Harry Jenkins, his daughter Mrs. Homer Bean (the class baby) and her son and daughter. The son, Robert E. Bean, was the winner of the Meserve Scholarship from the Newton High School upon his graduation from that institution in June. He is to be a member of the entering freshman class at Dartmouth.

One of the graduates of Dartmouth in the class of 1950 was Bruce Hadlock Keating of Bradford, Vt., grandson of Fred Hadlock, and who completed his course after serving three years in the army. He was married last December. So far as the secretary knows he is the first of the grandsons of 1900 to receive the Dartmouth degree.

Also present at the reunion was Lieutenant John E. Miller, grandson of John Putnam, who was graduated from West Point two days before. Lieutenant Miller spent one year at Dartmouth before entering the military academy.

Joe Manion calls attention to the fact that Carlos P. Romulo, representative of the Philippines in the Assembly of the United Nations, received the most important steps in his educaction largely from Mike O'Malley, who was graduated from Dartmouth in 1903 but who, for much of his course, was a member of 1900. Romulo has stated that, as a boy, he was hostile to all Americans and that he was turned from this real hatred to friendship by the instruction, but more by the personality and example, of Mike, who spent most of his life as a teacher in the Philippines.

A daughter, Miriam, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas L. Kane on June 9. Mrs. Kane is the daughter of the late Charming Sanborn.Arthur Roberts has joined the select ranks or the great-grandparents, his announcement being limited to the laconic statement, "I became a great grandfather June 9." The sex of the child is thus uncertain, but from internal evidence it appears that the father is William Stuart Rogers, Arthur's grandson.

Harold Holland had hoped to be present at the reunion, but a case of virus pneumonia, requiring hospital attention, made it impossible for him to undertake the journey.

Dr. Jim and Mrs. Woodman spent August at Straw's Point, on the New Hampshire coast, with all their children and grandchildren. Their son, Dr. Everett Woodman '39, Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Illinois, has received the appointment as visiting lecturer on Educational Psychology at the Universities of Lyons, Aix and Strasbourg for the coming year. The appointment comes through the State Department and is one of the Fullbright awards for teaching and research in foreign countries.

Mary Cornelia, daughter of Baron Mahoney, was married at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer, New York, on June 24 to Peyton Howard Moss, son Mrs. William Washburn Morse and the late Justice Moss of the Supreme Court of Rhode Island. Mrs. Moss, a graduate of Radcliffe in the class 1940, has been associate editor for Duell, Sloane and Pearce, publishers, of New York. Mr. Moss is a graduate of Brown and of the Harvard Law School.

Clarence McDavitt again brought the Class to its usual position among the leaders in the Alumni Fund Campaign of 1950. The amount contributed to the Alumni Fund was $3,353-94 For the* seventh consecutive year the Class led the group of those of its own time. Among all the classes, 1900 was second only to 1886 in excess of contributions over the socalled scoring base ('86 had a scoring base of but four), and second only to 1892 in excess over estimated giving power ('92 obtains four-fifths of its contributions from the income of a class endowment).

Freeman Corson suffered from a paralytic attack in August, but is making a slow recovery.

Loring Dodd, who, in 1949 after 39 years of service, retired from the headship of the English department and as curator of Art at Clark University, received from that institution the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters at the June commencement.
