1913
Alvin H. Dessau died in November of 1946 and in his will provided that an undivided 1/8 interest in a substantial piece of New York real estate should be left in trust for his wife with the provision that, upon her death, the trust would terminate and the 1/8 interest should go to Dartmouth College. That trust was created and upon the death of Heth in 1955 the undivided 1/8 interest became the property of the College.
There is no current appraisal of the value of this property, but in 1943 the entire property was appraised at one million dollars, making the College's interest at that time $125,000. There seems no doubt that there has been a substantial appreciation in the property value during the intervening twelve years and thus it seems clear that A1 made a very generous provision for the College.

Try it again next year and stay longer. Bill Davis dropped in on us for a good visit, about a week after you left. Please give my best to any of the gang you may see including the ex-mandolin artist, Warde Wilkins."
The Choate News of June 7 had a splendid tribute to George Steele who has retired at Wallingford, Conn. Under a picture that was taken very recently but makes George look as if he were a young prof just starting at Choate is printed: "From the bend in the spindle to the establishment of those ideals that Choate men have cherished, George Steele has left his mark upon the mind and heart of our institution. It is with this thought in the mind that we dedicate this final issue of the 'News' to him. Choate has been truly strengthened by his presence and is now suffering a loss which can never be fully realized."
The entire back page of the news sheet is devoted to this tribute to George. Then he was the guest of honor at an alumni dinner held at Ruppert's in New York City in April. George has been at Choate for 40 years, starting in 1916 as a mathematics instructor.

Yick's married daughter Mary is a doctor and is chairman of the Health Committee of the Kentucky Parent Teachers Assn. Speaking of Yick, we have often wondered if Frances has ever written a sequel to "Three Fields to Cross," a historical novel by Frances Tyson Nutt in 1947 — I know many have hoped more of the story or history would follow.
