1927

We trust that you and yours all had a very Happy Holiday Season and are now fully recovered and are looking forward eagerly to that trip back to Hanover for the 25th reunion in June. The dates to circle on your calendar are Friday through Sunday, June 6, 7 and 8. We have it right from Hanover that although dormitory headquarters have not as yet been assigned, there will be ample accommodations for all of us including men, women and children in a group of dormitories located near together. So come one, come all.

A letter from Curt Wright, who for the past year and one-half has been doing graduate study at the University of Michigan Law School, informs us that as of February 1 he and his family will move to Philadelphia where Curt will be on the faculty of Temple University School of Law. He will be teaching courses in the property law field. Curt is apparently happy at this move since it brings him closer to Hanover and he promises he will see us there next June.

We recently noted in one of the Boston papers that Bill Macaulay was married to Miss Marjorie Norwood of Auburndale, Mass., at the Second Church of Newton in West Newton.

The Tulsa (Okla.) Daily World of December 7 carried a picture of Ken Herwig and with it an announcement that he had been appointed assistant county attorney. After leaving Dartmouth, Ken graduated from the University of Tulsa Law School, and completed four years of study at the Oklahoma School of Accountancy. He was admitted to the practice of law in 1940. For some years he was an instructor in the Dale Carnegie Course and is credited with teaching more classes than any other Dale Carnegie instructor with the exception of Carnegie himself. For the past five years Ken has been an instructor at the Oklahoma School of Accountancy. He and his wife have two daughters, Kay and Susan.

Early in December the United States Rubber Company announced the promotion of Carlton Gilbert to the newly created position of Advertising Manager of the company effective February 15. Carlton has had 24 years' experience in advertising. He started in 1927 with J. C. Bull, Inc., a New York advertising agency. He continued there until 1934, when he joined the sales promotion department of the U. S. Rubber Company's footwear division. In 1939 he was appointed sales promotion manager of the division and later assumed the additional title of advertising manager of the division. Carlton lives at 19 Roosevelt Avenue, Larchmont, N. Y. He is married and has three children, Fenton, a student at Hotchkiss School in Connecticut; Geraldine, a student at Chatsworth School; and Jack, stationed at the Sampson Air Base, Geneva, N. Y. He is a member of the Larchmont Avenue Church and Larchmont Shore Club.

John Hough, who has been a professor at the University of Colorado for the past several years, is leaving next February for a year as Fulbright Lecturer in classics and ancient history at the University of Sidney, Australia. He must arrive there by March for the beginning of the "down under" academic year and will be back home shortly after January l, 1953. His wife and younger son Jonathan will go with him and his older son Merrill is staying in Boulder to finish high school in June and will then fly out to Australia to join his family for the rest of the visit.

Visitors at the Hanover Inn in December included Roger Salinger and Rufus Choate.

Fred Carver has recently been appointed headmaster of Kimball Union Academy. The announcement of his appointment says in part:

"Headmaster Carver will not come as a stranger to Kimball Union administration. He has served as Assistant Headmaster and has had charge of the school during several periods in which Mr. Brewster has been compelled to be absent. He has also served as Director of Admissions and knows the record of every boy who has entered the Academy during the past 15 years. His department is mathematics and the excellent record which Kimball Union students have made in many colleges has been due in no small part to the thorough grounding they received from Mr. Carver in the fundamentals of mathematics.

"Since 1939 Mr. Carver has been coach of both football and baseball, and the good sportsmanship of Kimball Union is well known.

"Mr. Carver graduated from Dartmouth in 1927. His alma mater conferred the degree of Master of Arts on him in 1937 in recognition of advanced work done there and at Harvard. Before coming to Kimball Union he taught nine years at Lebanon (N. H.) High School. He is 46 years of age, is married and has four children. He is fully in sympathy with the Kimball Union tradition of placing the greatest emphasis upon the building of manly character through the closest possible intimacy of masters and students on recreation and athletic fields as well as in the classrooms and laboratories. Mr. and Carver will take over the Headmaster's quarters in Rowe Hall and continue to make the common rooms there the center of the social life of the academy."

Fred has done a grand job at Kimball Union. As one father of a boy who went to the Academy wrote to me: "I have never known a more universally loved and admired man than Fred and that goes all the way from the kids themselves through their parents, his KUA associates to folks from other schools." They tell the story that "Coach" (as the kids all call him) used to tie the right hands of his four sons to their cribs in order to be sure of an influx of south-paw pitchers in the years to come.

We are very sorry to report the death of William C. Glenn who was drowned in New York on October 11.
