1945

I think perhaps the best way to start the column this month is by offering an apology. This is something which, for purely personal reasons, I have never done before. After all, if I began cluttering up this column every month with apologies some of you would begin to think I couldn't handle the job. As it is, the casual reader never knows the difference. My first apology goes to a well known former roommate of mine, Al Lott. In case any of you were wondering who Al Loth was who is the big gun in the Trinidad, Colo., 7-up works which was reported in the last column, now you know. I am sorry for the error.

After several months of having too much material for a column, this month we return to normal. The news is pretty slim.

Harold Harlow, director of relief in Greece for the Congregational Christian Service and Chairman of the Social Welfare Dept. of Pierce College in that country, will join the faculty of Springfield College in September, President Paul M. Limbert announced in April. Harold, who has been working in Greece for the past three years directing relief work and promoting social service education at Pierce College in Elleniko, Glyfada, Greece, will return with his wife and a children in June. He will teach sociology and group work, and share in field, work supervision as assistant professor.

Edwin L. Newdick, better known as Larry, is in the news again. We no sooner got him located in Boston on the Little Hoover Committee than he packed up for Washington and bigger and better things. Here's Larry's version of the new job in his own words: "The job is general administrative work with the Division of Engineering Resources, Bureau of State, Services, U.S. Public Health Service. I'm not sure what specific program I'll be concerned with, but part of the Division's work consists of aiding the states in the matter of water pollution, so perhaps I'll have the opportunity to help restore some of the streams we all know to their former beauty and utility."

There was another of Dick Gilman's letters in the mail this month. Dick had some very complimentary things to say about your officers which I am sure should be repeated, but which won't be. It is nice to know your work is appreciated. Here is the rest of Dick's letter:

"I am sorry that I cannot give you a letter full of news about men in the class, but the truth is that although there are hundreds of Dartmouth men, and a great many '45s here in Greater Boston, my fraternal activity during this current year has been severely restricted by a very busy schedule— working on my Ph.D. dissertation and taking over occasional teaching responsibilities in Philosophy at Boston University. I hear of class- mates occasionally through a third party, usually Dartmouth men of other classes, but have met very few recently.

"And there is little to report in the first person, too. I guess that perhaps it has not yet been reported that I was elected a Fellow of the National Council on Religion in Higher Education some time ago, or that I was also named the Bowne Fellow in Philosophy in Boston University for the current year. And within the past month I have accepted an appointment as Instructor in Philosophy and Religion at Colby College in Waterville, Me. Wife Lucille and I expect to move to Waterville during the summer preparatory to taking up our work there next September.

"With this last-named appointment the initial beachhead of three '45s on college campuses has been established, for three of us who were active in the Dartmouth Christian Union and successively presidents of the D.C.U. as undergraduates, I believe, are now located at different colleges. BillSwartzbaugh is Associate Professor and College Chaplain at Denison University in Granville, Ohio; Fred Berth old is an Instructor in Religion at Dartmouth; and I'm on my way to Colby."

Mr. and Mrs. Elliot Goodman spent a few days at the Hanover Inn in April.

Bert Glovsky recently passed the State Bar examinations in Massachusetts after graduating from Harvard Law School.

Edie and Geof Maclay have just announced the birth of a daughter, Renee Christina, on April 16. I saw Grandpa Maclay here on the street in Syracuse just a few weeks ago and got the first-hand report that Geof, Edie and Geof Jr. were all doing fine and that Grandma Maclay was all set to go to Milwaukee for the new arrival.

The file is exhausted. Have a good summer. And don't forget to send along your dollars to Class Agent Don and his gang. At the present writing we are holding our own in the Little Green Derby. What say we win it again?
