1937
Maybe this is "ancient fedora" now, but Charley Zimmerman, in whose very capable hands the recent Alumni Fund went over all tops, started off one of his many speeches asking had anyone heard the story about the poor fellow who spent $14OO to get rid of halitosis —only to find that his friends didn't like him anyway! The last Mint Bag that came out had appended a sleazy little questionnaire that did not cost anywhere near that amount to send out but achieved almost the same results. So far four have come home to roostnuf sed.
There's much good news here about CedJaggard, so much it is hard to condense, but the meat is that he received his Doctor of Theology degree from Princeton Theological Seminary last June at commencement exercises held in the Princeton Chapel. In order to receive this degree one must complete four years of college, 5 years seminary, pass exams on various phases of church work and have a working knowledge of Hebrew, Greek, Latin, German and French. Also pass tough exams in philosophy, history and theology. Then comes the good news that one is ready to start on the final leg—the writing of a dissertation on which Ced worked for several years and this must be a real contribution in the field of literature. The name is The Exercise of Faithin Luther's Theology and its Contribution toa Protestant Piety. After a series of oral exams on his work, Princeton finally conferred the degree which sounds very much deserved. Congratulations are well in order from us all.
More of same are in order for two new sub-members (pro-tem, per se) of the class, one named Jeffrey and the proud parents as of August 20 are Mr. and Mrs. Bob Milliken who are now living in Plymouth, Mass. at 26 Standish Court. Also, Duke and PollyDumont have most happily announced that they have chosen baby Linda, who came to live with them in August at the tender age of 5 days. It looks like the Dumont's traveling days are now curtailed with the new responsibility, but they had a last fling taking a two-weeks' trip to Bermuda in July and a hasty jaunt to Cape Cod in August where they spent one night with Dick and Ruth Sawyer.
The Alexander Smith Carpet Cos. recently splashed into the news with a number of personnel changes and there he is, picture and all, Fred Klein. Seems Fred had been holding down the job of production manager for the past year and now has been promoted to a newly-created position of Director of Pro- duction Planning and Control, which means he will have to schedule the product to meet the requirements of the sales dept. Fred also has the distinction of being the first student in the company's extensive mill training pro- gram in 1937 and has held several jobs with the concern since that time.
Don Miller pops up in the recent question- naire to say he has a new daughter, Meredith, born Sept. 8, and delivered by Dr. Doug Robertson '36, head of obstetrics at the North- ern Westchester Hospital. Don is business manager of the magazine Scientific American and was too busy this summer getting out a special issue for September on the age of science 1900-1950 to take any vacation.
The Bob Terwilligers have a new house and it s a genuine beauty. The newspaper, Hartford (Conn.) Courant, ran an article with pictures and headlines to prove that state- ment and they show the family relaxing at their new address 43 Pioneer Drive, West Hartford, that is, everybody but Bob, who was no doubt down at his jewelry concern on Pratt St., the Philip H. Stevens Cos., where he is president, trying to figure out some way to pay for their new dreamhouse.
From Joliet, 111., under the letterhead of the American Institute of Laundering comes comments from Bob Greene. For one thing he proudly reports an 85 at golf this summer and a new baby girl, Betsy, now seven months old, which makes his total two boys and a gal. Bob says he now tips the scales at 203 which sounds like the old story of the baseball umpire—"too much time behind the plate!" He also spent a week in Boston at Mechanics Hall early in October at the annual Laundry Convention which his outfit does once a year in different parts of the U. S.
Here's a gent long overdue on news, FrankIrwin. Frank has been devoting himself for the past four years to the study of international relations as a foreign affairs officer in the U. S. Dept. of Defense, but has been expecting a transfer into the State Dept. He finds his work in Washington to be fascinating and sometimes rather depressing. (Note: The latter fits better into the newspapers we read.) Says Frank, "We are currently building a modest house in Fairfax county and I never realized what a headache it could be riding herd on contractors and getting changes made. They promised possession by August but it will be September by the earliest before we move from our bulging apartment." He has attended a few Dartmouth functions in Washington and seen Fink Broadbent and Joe Kiernan, also until two years ago Phil Swain was one of his neighbors. Of Phil he reports now that he is a promising personnel executive for the C & O Railroad and at the time of writing (June) Phil was living at the Greenbriar Hotel in White Sulphur handling 900 employees there, negotiating contracts and getting some excellent experience in labor relations.
Another visitor to Washington, who spent a little time with Fink and Joe last summer, was Bob Brown. We are indeed sorry to report that Bob came down four years ago with a bad attack of arthritis and was unable to work for three years. For the past year he has been with the McAlester Fuel Cos. in Magnolia, Ark., and now seems to be getting along well. He has a son, eight, and two younger girls.
It begins to look like everybody has seen Fink and Joe but us, we have nothing to add beyond their names.

RUG THE BUG IS STILL WAITING FOR ENOUGH DOUGH TO PAY OFF LASTYEAR'S BALANCE ON THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE. HAVE YOU SENT IN YOUR $4-00?
