1916

The Class has suffered an irreparable loss in the death of our grand old classmate, A. Lincoln Filene, who died August 27, at his summer home in Marston Mills, Mass. Mr. Filene, the dean of American retailers, had retired from business earlier in the month, rich in honors, at the age of 92. A memorial service was held on Sunday, September 30 at the Memorial Church in Harvard Yard, Cambridge, attended by many persons distinguished in the merchandising field and in public life. Cliff Bean, who is the labor relations director for William Filene's Sons Co., headed a large group of the Class. Donald K. David, former dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, a life-long friend and former associate of Mr. Filene, delivered the memorial address. He paid tribute to Mr. Filene as an outstanding merchant - the last of the generation which produced such men as Marshall Field and John Wanamaker - and spoke of his many accomplishments as a superb good citizen. Dartmouth conferred a degree upon him at our graduation. This poor column would honor him as a member of our Class. He was known best to the Boston group and delighted in being called Chief, - Chief of the Balmacaan Tribe of the Dartmouth Indians. His good deeds to his classmates, all unsung, were legion, as man; of the Class, who received unsolicited help in time of trouble, can attest. He was a Classmate in every sense of the word - loved and respected - and he will be greatly missed. The Class expresses to his family its orofound sorrow at his passing.

We have suffered the loss of another classmate in the death of Charles Chester Bettes on June 13. Charles, who did not graduate from the College and who lived for many years in Florida, was probably not too well known to most of the Class. Our deep sympathy is extended to his wife, Carol and his daughter Carol Frances. More details of his life appear in the In Memoriam section.

A goodly number of the Class attended the Dedication Exercises for the Robert Peter Brundage Lodge at the Dartmouth Skiway at the foot of Holt's Ledge, Lyme Center on September 28. The Lodge was given by Charlie and Edna Brundage in memory of their son, Peter of the Class of 1945 and a Marine Corps lieutenant, who was killed at Okinawa in May, 1945. John Meek '33 in his address of welcome remarked, "The Brundages by their vision and generosity have builded better than they know." President Dickey in his acceptance in behalf of the College said, "Dartmouth is an outdoor college. The outdoors gives it added strength and the Lodge enhances that strength." It is a most fitting memorial to a Dartmouth son from a Dartmouth father and mother. In honoring their son, Charlie and Edna honor the Class and the College. The memorial will last as long as Dartmouth is an outdoor college, and Dartmouth sons yet-to-be will have the splendid example of Peter Brundage, a great lover of the outdoors, exemplified in this most thoughtful gift.

Ray DeVoe was the speaker on the first of the 1957-58 series of monthly '16 dinners at the Dartmouth Club of New York, held October 3. Ray's subject was "Corporation Maagement and Finance." He spoke from the very practical background of his years of experience as an executive of the Robert Gair Co., and, more recently, as vice president of Continental Can Co., with which Gair has merged. His remarks were directed particularly at the problems of developing younger men into competent successors to older executives a very difficult operation in the case of mergers, involving the selection of senior as well as junior executives who are capable of fitting at once into the expanded situation. Ray also gave many informative points on the container industry and its keenly competitive nature, even within a single company. The dinner was attended by Johnny Ames, Charlie Brundage, Charlie Creasy, Jack Cur tin, Ray DeVoe, George Dock, Dutch Doenecke, Charlie Jones, Mac Macartney, Joe Newmark, Johnny Pelletier and Doc Pettengill. The speaker at the November meeting was scheduled to be Stirling Wilson, and whether he.was able to find his way up from Ormond Beach only time and the January column will disclose.

Sixteeners in the News: Herb Kimball has been elected secretary of the American Optical Co. Herb has been a member of its legal staff since 1936. Frank Bobst was recently elected a director of the United Fund of Greater Boston. He was also elected vice president of the Boston Rotary Club, and is serving as general chairman of the 1957 Greater Boston Salvation Army Appeal. Should I ask him what he does with a spare moment? Ros Magill has been appointed chairman of the Committee on Tax Problems of the Professions of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. (Whew! Let's have a drink on that one!) Laurence Whittemore, who has served as president of the Crotched Mountain Foundation, a million dollar philanthropic project for the handicapped, has been elected chairman of the board. At the same meeting Bob Brown was elected a member of the board. Joe Newmark, "noted Salem merchant and Rotarian," recently addressed the Salem Kiwanis Club, relating his experiences on a recent European tour.

Your correspondent has spent a most pleasant afternoon at Franklin Field, Philadelphia. Having sat through approximately ten dreary afternoons, spaced about a year apart, in which the Quakers paraded up and down the field (and I don't mean the Penn band) Dartmouth's 6-3 victory was particularly enjoyable. I am sorry that so few '16ers were in on the festivities. I saw only Johnny Pelletier, although there were probably others there. However, just behind us sat Mr. Reich, a Cornell graduate, whose sons are Dartmouth men — Alan Reich '52 and Pete Reich '53, captain of the football team. Also in the vicinity some former football greats All America Moose Englehorn '14, Les Haws '24 and Jack McAvoy '28. As you can imagine, the cocktail party at the Penn-Sherwood after the game was a real clambake.
