1907

Before this MAGAZINE reaches you, the first reunion bulletin will have been mailed to every living member of '07, graduates and non-graduates. Other bulletins will follow. You can contribute to the success of our 45th by notifying the Class Secretary that you expect to return and that you will urge other classmates to meet you in Hanover on June 13.

A testimonial luncheon was given to Processor Harry Wellman on January 18 in recognition of his 32 years of outstanding service to the College and the Tuck School and his retirement last June. President Dickey and President Emeritus Hopkins spoke and Newell '20 presented Harry with three bound volumes of personal letters from Tuck School graduates who had been his students and friends through his long period of service.

Ted Greenleaf, eminent citizen of Maine, reports that Herb Hinman, eminent Virginia executive, is moving toward retirement from active business responsibilities. As Ted puts it, "Herb has been kicked upstairs to the position of consultant and director and now can do as little or as much as he pleases." Herb has served as president of the Virginia Engineering Co. and of Tidewater Construction Co. in Newport News, Va., and has made an outstanding record. Ted reports that Herb is definitely planning to be in Hanover next June.

More about Ted: The Lewiston Journal in its column "50 Years Ago Today" cites two separate occasions on which Ted participated at great risk in the rescue of young friends from drowning. Evidently that was Ted's principal vocation before entering Dartmouth. He told the Journal that he had himself narrowly escaped drowning five times.

Another Maine classmate, Sam Hale, lost his wife last June very suddenly. Sam lives in Bar Mills, Me.

A recent announcement from the College states that a number of substantial cash prizes for members of the faculty will be awarded for notable contributions to the improvement of undergraduate instruction. A gift by GeorgeHoward '07 has made the awards possible.

Bruno Kimball reports that his son Bill has recently established his own plastics business. The new company is to be called The Kimball Manufacturing Corporation and it is located in San Francisco. Bruno will surely be back for the 45th.

The death of Jack Hart is reported in the In Memoriam section of this issue. Jack came to College from Racine, Wis., returned some years after graduation, and spent his life in the city in which he was born. Engaged in a family woolen business founded by his two grandfathers in 1863, Jack headed the company at the time of his death. Your secretary does not recall that Jack returned to any class reunion. He was undoubtedly a prominent citizen of his home city. A principal interest was his church.
