1928
1928 seems to be doing all right at Prince- ton. Hadley Cantril has just been named Chairman of the Department of Psychology there, and John Turkevich has been promoted to full professor of chemistry. The New YorkTimes called Had "a leading social psycholo- gist." He joined the Princeton faculty in 1936 after teaching at Harvard, Dartmouth and Columbia, and has been a full professor since 1945. For several years he has been working with the Institute for Associated Research in Hanover, which is headed by Adelbert Ames, carrying forward research into the perceptual processes aimed at determining just why and how people see the world about them as they do. He is co-author of a book, How NationsSee Each Other— A Study in Public Opinion, which is being published June 29.
John Turkevich is going to the Interna- tional Congress of Pure and Applied Science in Stockholm this summer to present a paper in his special fields catalysis and molecular structure. He has also been at Princeton since igg6. The War Department awarded him a certificate for his contributions toward de- velopment of the atomic bomb.
Rupe Thompson was recently named the third trustee of the Rhode Island Charities Trust. This trust, created by Royal Little, chairman of Textron Inc., for the benefit of the Providence Community Fund, has a pres- ent value of $6,000,000. Rupe is executive vice president and a director of the Providence Union National Bank, and also a director of Almardon Mills, Inc., four insurance com- panies and the New York, New Haven 8c Hart- ford Railroad.
Bill and Cyrene Williams are part of the large Philadelphia delegation coming to Re- union. Bill is Assistant to the Purchasing Agent of The Budd Cos., and is responsible for the procurement of all maintenance, repair and operating supplies. Says he is nuts about his job. His hobby is woodworking and bend- ing the elbow.
Dave Willard, who hasn't been to Hanover since 1932, is coming to Reunion and bringing Jane and their son Dave Jr., a freshman at Washington 8c Lee. Dave is in charge of a field force of 50 men in the Group Sales Division of the Prudential Insurance Cos. in Newark, N. J. His hobby from College days has been playing drums in a number of successful dance bands, but in recent years extensive travel (and old age) called a halt.
Red and Frances Sanborn are bringing all three of their children to Reunion. Their old- est daughter is a freshman at Mt. Holyoke, Pat is at Abbott Academy and Scott is m the Bth grade. Red has been an instructor in mathematics at Phillips Andover since 1928 and has written four popular textbooks. Sum- mer writing activities were skipped two years ago when he took the family for an 11,000- mile camping trip to the American and Cana- dian Rockies and the West Coast. As faculty advisor of the Andover Outing Club (220 boys) he has felt it his duty to pay frequent visits to New England mountain peaks, trout streams and ski centers, and to demonstrate to the lads the pleasures of cruising, sailing and eating lobsters on the coast.
Ford and Carol Blickley's daughter Nancy will be married May 9 to Merritt Woodward Jr., Hobart '52, of Short Hills, N. J.

"-"-"-""'O o We were wrong about there being only 18 bachelors left out of our total class member- ship of 620 late questionnaires raised the total to 23 who have never married, 4 wid- owers and 7 divorced lads who are still unat- tached but willing.
The First Twenty-Five Years is at the print- ers and you should receive it before Reunion. It was supposed to be mailed May 10, but so many late pictures came in that we held it up in order to add 16 extra pages, bringing the total to 224. A feature of the book is that it contains pictures of 287 members of the class and their families, a phenomenal number for a class book. Some 25 of you who failed to send in pictures will be surprised to find that we secured excellent likenesses anyhow. The book is dedicated with respect and affection to Ernest Martin Hopkins, with a full page pen and ink sketch of him by Paul Sample. Also included in the book are brief indi- vidual biographies, a list of the 43 deceased members, and 32 group pictures taken during Delta Alpha, Carnival, Commencement and reunions. John Phillips deserves a Wah-Hoo- Wah for taking over the job of having the book bound.
Rem Kittne says, "It's hard to realize my son has graduated from Dartmouth. We had many delightful visits there two Carnival houseparties and others climaxed by Com- mencement last June. It made us feel kinda young and we're sorry it's over. Harvard Law School, where he is now, leaves one rather cold. Remson was graduated Phi Beta Kappa and cum laude only about 1,000% better than his old man." Rem and Reliance and both their children are coming to the 25th.
To bring you up to date, here is the latest score on the 1928 fathers with their under- graduate sons at Dartmouth.

He is a spe- cial assistant to the Attorney General of Mon- tana, and handles all municipal bond pro- ceedings for the Attorney General. He says, "At the last election I was a candidate for Dis- trict Judge, but was not elected due to the fact that 800 voters failed to vote for the gent who would have appreciated the salary and dignity of the office the most."
AI Fusonie, who ought to know a good foot- ball player when he sees one, says his son Doug played great football as a quarterback for West Philadelphia Catholic High last fall. He is sending him to Taft School next year, and then you know where. A 1 is Personnel Di- rector for Collins & Aikman one of his hob- bies every fall is scouting Penn and Princeton for Dartmouth.

Abe Ziskind is treasurer and vice president of the Crescent Corp., Fall River, Mass. He and Rose have a daughter at Colby Jr. College and two sons at home.
When you read this there will be no more than a matter of days before '2B's Memorial Fund record is entered. It will be an impres- sive record because everyone is contributing to the limit of his capacity. But nothing less than our objective will be a perfect record. We'll never have another 25th Reunion, nor another opportunity to establish a record which will mean so much to the College in the years to come.
SEE YOU IN HANOVER JUNE 12.
