1922
Unbelievable as it may seem, and it does, summer is nearly over as I start the first column for another publication year. If anything, I have a smaller backlog of material than for any other opening year since joining the reporting fraternity. Help!
The final report on the recent Alumni Fund campaign should gladden the hearts of all Dartmouth folks but in particular it should bring warm satisfaction to 1922 men. A real factor in the glowing success of the Fund as a whole, our class was one of the 29 classes that equalled or exceeded quotas and was one of the 13 classes which raised amounts in excess of $10.000 In the concluding Class Agents' Bulletin, Stan Miner received recognition, and deservedly so, for having led the class to new highs for both total dollars and number of contributors. For a job well done, I say "Thank you" for the class to Stan and his hard working assistants.

On page 102 of the August 28 issue of Life you will find a picture of Joe Talbot. Long a prominent figure in the political affairs of Connecticut, Joe has tossed his hat into the ring for the senatorial race. He appears to be up against rugged competition from McMahon, the present incumbent, but Joe doesn't scare easily.

On the occasion of the Alumni Council meetings in June it was more than pleasant to find Gene Hotchkiss in Hanover resting up from the previous weekend when he had attended the graduation of his three Phi Beta Kappa sons and witnessed his brother-in-law, who gave the commencement address, receive an honorary degree. Jeanette had left during the week on the return trip to Chicago by car with the boys.
My June visit to Hanover also afforded the opportunity to visit with Hal Tayntor, whom I had not seen since college days. Almost completely unchanged, Hal was spending a few days acquainting son Charles with the Hanover scene in preparation for his entrance this year as a freshman.
Just as I was about to leave Hanover after a day's visit in August, I had the good fortune to come upon Stewie and Louise Stearns. With spur-of-the-moment planning they had driven up from Schenectady to spend a half week in and around Hanover and were having a thoroughly good time. Just incidentally they were making a few preparations, notably furniture procurement, in anticipation of the matriculation of Stewie Jr.
Through the Inn I have learned that others of the class who visited Hanover during the past summer were: Norm and Marian Crane,Jerry Francher, Jake and Patricia McKoan,Andy Marshall, Bill and Margaret Morrell and John Wood.
