1913
Our Class has previously led all classes (1804 through 1956) in total giving. With the Al Dessau bequest and all other gifts in the past fiscal year added in, we become the first of the "living" classes to cross the $1,000,000 mark. We have given, in fact, $1,026,505.13. Our closest competition is 1915 with around $855,000 and 1914 with around $670,000 and 1906 with $662,000.
The Alvin H. Dessau bequest has by vote of the Trustees of the College been given a valuation of $125,000. What a generous gift. Sherm Ward was our other big giver in his will and bequest.
Any, and there are too many, who failed to attend the Convocation at Dartmouth on September 5, 6, and 7 (see the ALUMNI MAGAZINE Supplement) missed the time of their lives. Ward Wilkins was the first to register, followed immediately by Kippy Tuck (flying to the U.S.A. three days previously), WalterHaley, John and Laura Remsen, Ed Robinson, Harry Semmes, Bob Conant and Mildred, Fred Page, Jack and Louise Nelson were the Thirteeners.
Friday eve the following Alumni Award for outstanding service to Dartmouth College was given to Kippy Tuck:
"S. Pinkney Tuck '13, few living men can match your life for sheer adventure. Few have played for higher stakes at the table of diplomacy and few, indeed, have had the acumen to understand that persuasiveness in international matters is written in the silken phrases as well as etched on the hilt of the sword. Immediately following your graduation you left to serve as Vice-Consul in Egypt and since then we have kept track of you through stories in the international news services. The date lines, to mention only very few, have been Constantinople, Paris, Alexandria, Vladivostok, Budapest, Prague, and Buenos Aires. In 1948 you resigned from the Foreign Service as Ambassador to Egypt and you are now the American member of the Suez Canal Company Board of Directors. The men of Dartmouth are proud to commemorate your 35 years of service to our Nation with the Alumni Award."
Mose Linscott has announced that his insurance business at 33 Broad Street in Boston will be operated as a partnership, the partners being Charles H. Linscott and John H. Linscott. Johnny still has time nights, if enough time is allowed for reservations, for appearances with his dance band.
Distance travelers at the Hanover Inn in September were Mr. and Mrs. Matt E. Gately and Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln S. Wilson. Matt takes in the Wednesday luncheons at Pattens. The Vic Dunbars stopped there, and of course, Kippy Tuck from Geneva, Switzerland, over for the Convocation.
Judge "T. D." Jewett was in England this summer but now back on the bench in Laconia.
Bart and Renza Shepard went over for the week's convention of the International Congress of Organists, with nearly 900 in attendance in July. They used a drive-yourself Austin to see Southwest England, and then a motor bus tour of England, Scotland and Wales. They went to Paris by plane for a week before taking an auto bus tour of Switzerland. Back in Paris they hired a Pengot auto for a trip to Tours.
Edmund and Gladys Freeman's trip to visit classmates this year took them to Niagara Falls, Vermont and Massachusetts. Steve andAlice Perry in Brandon were not at home as Peter was being married. He did see Al Washburn and John Noble in Bethel; Benand Marian Andrew in Lunenburg showed off their new Parish House which contains Andrew Hall, named for them. Gren Kimball was not at home in Lynnfield Center.
Bill Terry with three others had a ten-day fishing trip over 100 miles north of Roberval on Lake St. John in Canada. They went by plane for marvelous fly fishing with plenty of luck.
