1947

Just spent several days in Hanover. Great time. You ought to go back, first chance, see the scenery and make friends again.

We are pleased to have received recently a fine letter from Bob Prew '52, brother of our classmate Jim Prew. Shortly after graduation Jim joined the Discalced Carmelites, a Roman Catholic religious order. Upon entering he took the name of Brother Damian. Since that time he has been studying for the priesthood and will be ordained in August 1955. Last September he was chosen to represent the American Province of that order at a House of Studies at Mount Carmel in Haifa, Israel. He will be stationed there for at least two years as the only American representative among Carmelite brothers from all over the world. It is expected that his ordination will take place either at Mount Carmel or in Jerusalem. We are sure Jim would be glad to hear from some of his old Dartmouth friends, including Jack Wagner, Morrie Polsky and Ernie Caster.
