1907

When Ted Glattfeld died suddenly in a Chicago hospital on June 25, '07 Dartmouth lost one of their finest products. His record since his retirement in 1948 from his professorial duties at the University of Chicago suggests that his physical and mental powers were far from being impaired. Becoming associated with the Argonne National Laboratory in 1948, he retired in 1954, but continued his association on a part-time consuiting basis. His letters during these years were always forward-looking and confident. He wrote to your secretary last April, on the occasion of his birthday, that Bob Stokes was mistaken if he expected him to become deeply interested in dogs and parsnips or rhubarb, since he had just signed another contract to carry on his work with Argonne for another year. Then these words: "A chemist never quits working; when the time comes, he just falls out!" Ted was a quiet, modest man, a fine friend, a high-rank student and teacher, devoted to his family, his friends, his college and his class. We '07 men will miss him sorely. A brief sketch of Ted's career will be found in the In Memoriam section of this issue.

Marguerite Heneage has asked your class secretary to express her deep appreciation for their thoughtfulness to those members of '07 who sent flowers to her during their informal reunion last June. Marguerite had just returned to her home after an extended stay in the Mary Hitchcock Hospital.

Vic King is a classmate who is enjoying his retirement years by working as hard as ever in his life, and liking it. Long associated with the American Cyanamid Company, Vic was officially retired in 1951, but that definitely does not mean that he withdrew from the industrial field. During recent years he has participated in the development of some very important wonder drugs and has been traveling in many parts of the world in which his company has been engaged in plant and market expansions. He has recently returned from an inspection trip which took him around the world. Your secretary wishes he could share Vic's letters with each of his classmates. They are intensely interesting, especially to a conservative stay-at-home. Rut he offers each of you the opportunity to renew acquaintance with Vic, at our 50th reunion, if not sooner. Vic is planning to be there. His sons are Victor '31, Jamie '34, Gene '39 and Thomas '45; and grandson John is '58; grandson Victor will be '59 and Thomas may be '68. All Dartmouth, of course.

The death of Mrs. Ernest Trickey at her home in Wolfeboro, N. H., on July i, has been reported. Ernest died in 1933. Mrs. Trickey was descended from pioneer settlers of Woifeboro and had a deep interest in local history and genealogy.

Mrs. Chester Sandy died suddenly on May 22, less than five months after her husband's passing. She is survived by her son Donald '34, two daughters, and five grandchildren. A letter from Mrs. Sandy written last March reads in part: "Dartmouth is like home to me and someday I shall hope via wheel chair or crutches to get back to the beloved Plain where we have spent so many happy hours together."

Classmate Joe O'Connor, '07's only Canadian citizen, reports that he became seriously ill for the first time in his life earlier this year and has been confined to his bed for an indefinite period. Joe will not take offense if your secretary reminds his '07 friends that he is our senior in years and is entitled to relax. Fortunately, reading is a joy to him, and he is making the most of his confinement.
