1922
Our Father and Son weekend (March 7-9) was an occasion thoroughly enjoyed by the fortunate few who were able to attend it. For activities it would have been difficult for Ted Davidson 111 to have picked a better time. The one formal event was a dinner at the Inn on Friday night preceded by cocktails in the Ski Hut. Present for the weekend and all arriving in time for the dinner were TedDavidson Jr. with ted III 51 (Tuck School), John Fancher with John Jr. '52, Al Lyon with Maury '52, Van VosBurgh with. Peter 52,Bill Rex with Bill '54, Olie Olsen with Peter Dwight '54 (Carroll couldn't make it), and your scribe with Bill Jr. '54. After the dinner some went to the movies and others to Robinson Hall for the competitive fraternity plays.
Saturday morning was an opportunity to attend classes, see people or just wander around. Saturday afternoon offered an indoor track meet and a swimming meet. The track meet was an excitingly close one with Brown which was decided in Dartmouth s favor by the final event. A high light of particular interest to us was the accomplishment of Sam Daniell '52 who ran the 600 in 1:12.6 to establish a new indoor record. In the swimming meet that followed, Dartmouth had little difficulty defeating Columbia. This was the last meet of the season and the final one for Maury Lyon as manager. Saturday evening offered a varsity versus alumni hockey game, a basketball encounter with Columbia and the finals of the fraternity plays. All good entertainment. Seaver Peters '54 played a part in the varsity victory over the star-studded alumni team in the hockey game.
After leisurely breakfasting on Saturday morning, the fathers left for home about noon. We are grateful to Ted Davidson III for arranging the weekend and picking one so full of events and offering ideal weather.
In preparation for the Father and Son weekend, we secured a list of 1922 sons currently in Dartmouth and here it is:

Walter I. Miller was promoted to brigadier general, USAFR, on March 8 with February 15 fixed as the date of the rank. This honor is a deserved recognition of Ike's outstanding service in the Air Force.
Stew Stearns Jr. and Bill Bullen Jr. made the spring trip south with the varsity tennis team.
Mary Ann Miner has received appointment to the staff of Mount Holyoke College for the 1952-1953 academic year. A senior there now, she will receive her A.B. degree in June and prepare for an MA. degree while serving as a graduate assistant in the chemistry department next year. Mary Ann won the Louisa Stone Stevenson prize for work in chemistry last year.
Olie Olsen has made a good recovery from his serious illness of last summer. He has been doing consulting work in recent months and has offices in the Davidson block. One large assignment which he has involves a study for the several colleges and universities which offer courses in hospital administration. Olie has been appointed chairman of a commission which will examine the courses as they are presently conducted in the individual schools and arrive at conclusions as to suggested standard courses and policies. Olie looks forward to rejoining the Tuck School staff in September as a member of the faculty for that will give him the opportunity to engage in the three fields where his interests lie—teaching, research and consulting.
A visit to Chicago a while back gave StanMiner the opportunity to lunch, at the University Club with Gene Hotchkiss, Jack Blunt and Les Wagner.
