1911
Sadness has struck thrice into the ranks of 1911 in the past two months with the deaths of Jack Barry, Louis Hall and Everett Roberts. Many will remember Jack Barry as the genial classmate who worked his way through College at the Hanover Inn Barber Shop and then made that his profession. Louis Hall we all remember as a fine gentleman under all circumstances. Robbie Roberts, although with the class only a brief time, had a conspicuous career in his chosen profession and was always glad to renew his Dartmouth acquaintances.
One of the best class dinners ever held at the University Club in Boston on the evening prior to the Harvard game was attended by 20 classmates as follows: Wheeler, French, Stevens, Chamberlain, Mayo, Farrell, Ken Clark, Josh Clark, Seaver, Lovejoy, Ingersoll, Crooks, Burleigh, Les Gibson, Schell, Spim Norris, Pendleton, Conroy, Welch, Smith. It was pleasant to join in this evening with members of classes 1907-1914. Sticky Pendleton flew in from Gander, Newfoundland, that afternoon. He was a picture of health and apparently enjoying his work in charge of the commissary at that famous air base. Out-of-staters Ken Clark, Seaver, Lovejoy and Ingersoll were given a particularly warm welcome. This affair can be heartily recommended to all classmates as being a most enjoyable one and hope is expressed that those who didn't make it this year will make a big effort to do so next fall.
Dick Paul was forced to miss not only the dinner but the game itself, which was the first time he had failed to be at a Dartmouth-Harvard game since 1898. Dick was hanging around the hospital hoping the surgeons wouldn't be too tough on him.
Warren Agry wTas kept from attending the dinner in order that he might perform the official function of representing Dartmouth College at the celebration of Bradford Junior College of its 150th anniversary. The fact that "Mama" Agry is a trustee of Bradford of course had nothing to do with Warren's selection!
Word from Cincinnati brings the good news that Max Eaton is making a good recovery from his illness and now gets back to his office each morning. Max has a very fine tourist hotel on the outskirts of Cincinnati. The report also says, "Carl Groat is doing a grand job with the Cincinnati Post, which is one of the Scripps-Howard newspapers. Carl is highly thought of here in Cincinnati, and a good publisher." Lew Sisson's married daughters fortunately have settled nearby, Mary Louise in Middletown, 0., about 35 miles away, and Margery in Mariemont, one of Cincinnati's suburbs. Lew, incidentally, has five grandchildren to enjoy, including twins now four years old.
Ted Harvey writes to express his regret at not being at Mountain View's informal reunion last June but promises that he and Hazel will be there next year.
A news item of interest to the Secretary primarily is that Bee and I will be leaving for Turin, Italy, immediately after Christmas to be gone until late next summer. I will participate in the founding of a new graduate school of business administration. I have been asked to act as Dean and to give a series of lectures from January 1 until the middle of June. In addition, arrangements have been made for consulting work with the managements of some of the Italian industrial concerns. We plan to fly from Boston on December 27 to London where we will spend a few days and hope to see Burt Burbeck and Willard Connely, then on to Italy where we expect to arrive for New Year's Eve. We also hope, following the tour of duty in Italy, to travel a bit on the Continent before returning home in the late summer.
The following quotation explains the founding and purpose of the school: "Under the auspices of two leading Italian industrialists, Prof. Vittorio Valletta, President of Fiat and Dr. Adriano Olivetti, President of Olivetti Company of Ivrea, the Industrial Association of Turin has decided to organize the 'lnstitute di Aid Studi per l'Organizzione Aziendale' an institute of high learning in the field of business management and industrial organization open to Senior students, graduates as well as people already engaged in industry and business. The idea for the school gained momentum after the meeting called by the National Management Council last June in New York a meeting which was attended by Prof. Valletta and Dr. Olivetti. The school will be staffed originally by six American educators, each one assisted by two Italian scholars with American degrees. The first term will begin in January 1953. The courses will be held in the Palace of Torino Esposizioni.. .. The basic purpose of the school is to teach American management methods to Italian business executives.... This, we believe, is the beginning of a desire by management in Western Europe to recognize the part better management can play in increasing productivity and so raise the .standard of living."
During my absence Josh Clark, our able Class Agent, has promised to pinch-hit for me. We both will be highly appreciative if classmates will help Josh out by dropping him a note, either to condole with him on his tough assignment or to pass on a bit of news, preferably the latter.
Just as these notes were about to go off to the editor, word arrived of the death this morning (November 4) of Dick Paul. He will be greatly missed by the entire class.
