1922

Bequest Chairman,

Proud congratulations from the clan to -classmates who have received worthy distinction further gleanings from summer and early autumn - it is all good news this month.

Ike Miller has been appointed director of accounting and finance of the U.S. Air Force. Mai or General Miller was previously director of accounting and, with the consolidation of the accounting and finance functions, our Ike was given the combined responsibility.

Eaton Leith has been named chairman of the Department of Romance Languages at Bowdoin where he has taught Spanish, French and Italian. Professor Leith is also a member of Bowdoin faculty committees on the library, military affairs and religious activities. He is Books Editor of the Bowdoin Alumnus, chairman of the Brunswick chapter of the Red Cross, a member of the Democratic town committee and active in productions of the Brunswick Workshop Theatre. Eaton taught at Harvard and Dartmouth before joining the Bowdoin faculty in 1936.

Dr. Ed Crampton has been elected president of the New England Society of Ophthalmology. Society membership is composed of physicians who have passed the examinations of the American Board of Ophthalmology and specialize in diseases of the eye.

Dr. Paul Boyle has been named Dean of the School of Dentistry at Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Paul goes to Western Reserve from the University of Pennsylvania where he has been chairman of the department of oral histology and pathology. Dr. Boyle was on the Harvard faculty and had a private practice in Boston for many years before moving to Penn. There he was also chief of the section on oral pathology at the Philadelphia General Hospital. He is currently president of the International Association for Dental Research, vice-president of the American Board of Oral Pathology which he headed in 1951, and is past president of the American Academy of Oral Pathology. Last year, Paul was chairman of the committee on pathology and bacteriology of the American Association of Dental Schools, and chairman of the A ADS advisory board for dental specialties. He is also a member of the professional education committee of the American Cancer Society. Dr. Boyle has had more than 50 articles printed in scientific journals concerned chiefly with his research on oral cancer and on the effect of diet upon tooth structure.

And additional gleanings provide more good news of our class family: Dick Bowler, we'll all be delighted to know, is in good health and high spirits. Bill Mann brought these glad tidings back from a Cape Cod vacation during which Bill made a visit to Dick at Wareham. Olie Olsen, whose fellowship at reunion we missed so much, has recovered nicely from his long bout with virus pneumonia and subsequent complications and is teaching at Tuck School.

John Wood, our president of Brooks Brothers, officiated at an unusual civic ceremony last summer. The New York Times headed it. "Abundance Fountain to flow after 6 years." Seems Central Park has an impressive statue of a lady known as Abundance. She has been dehydrated for 6 years. Water from basins around Abundance was seeping into subways so the lady was put on a non-liquid diet. The city restored the basins and expects to illuminate Abundance in the midst of waters. The civic-minded Fifth Avenue Association, of which John is a prominent member, contributed substantially to the restoration fund and John officiated at the public ceremony when the Abundance fountains were again brought into play.

Ced Porter and Ike Miller both visited Colorado during the summer and each found 'hizzoner' Will Nicholson, our worthy Mayor of Denver, in fine fettle. Confirmation of the good company Nick keeps is further verified by a picture from the New York Herald Tribune showing Nick and Gov. Johnson presenting a Colorado fishing license to President Eisenhower at the White House.

Wes and Peg Nutten in Los Angeles had a very pleasant day entertaining Wally Aschenbach and wife from Chicago. Wally was on the coast to attend a coaches convention.

Several classmates made the pilgrimage back to Hanover during the summer. Among the returning pilgrims were Jack Hazelton and wife, Pete Kiewit, Bill and Margaret Morrell, and Charlie Throop and wife.

Spenny and Marje Smith, returning from the White Mountains, were joined at the Hanover Inn by Carroll and Nan Dwight and Carter and Alie Hoyt for a continuation of our June reunion. Dick and Dot Stetson later joined the group which spent a weekend with Carroll and Nan at Sunapee.

Tony and Eleanor Hanlon with George andMary Margaret McCarthy had a pleasant vacation weekend together with your scribe and Margaret. Tony was looking forward to a golf tournament at Stockbridge where he and Herm Carlisle would get together.

Hugh Kilmer and wife announced the engagement of their daughter Miss Patricia Polk Kilmer to James Alexander Norris, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Steward Norris of Washington, formerly of Locust Valley, L. I. Miss Kilmer was graduated from Rye Country Day School, attended Sweet Briar College and is a member of the New Rochelle League for Service. Mr. Norris attended Indiana University and is associated with McCann Erickson, Inc., New York.

Carroll Dwight is due the class gratitude for his Work as editor and publisher of our new Class of 1922 Address List, recently sent out with our class tax. Listing all of us both alphabetically and geographically, the new booklet supersedes the 195s edition and contains more than 100 changes. If you owe a classmate a debt or would like to look him up on your travels, the list shows you where he is. Use the booklet and thank Carroll for its convenience.

That's it - except for one very important question - what are you doing to encourage our class son, Captain Bob Rex and his Dartmouth football team? And as you see the backs go tearing by, that big tackle frequently clearing the way is another son of our class - Tom Booth, son of Bob and Lois. This Dartmouth team deserves the very best of class support and loyalty from all of us.

For the Columbia game at Hanover on November 10 there will be a "bring your own" picnic lunch (or what have you) for all Twoters, their families and guests on the lawn right in front of the door to the hockey rink. In recent years, the weather for this last game in Hanover has been excellent. But if the weather man should deceive us and we can not enjoy a lawn luncheon, we'll get together in the gym. Come one, come all - any time within an hour or two before the game. If you like it, this can become a class custom for all football games in Hanover.
