With sadness to all of us and with sympathy to their families we have lost three classmates. Cecil Goldbeck died during July. His passing is reported in the Memoriam section of this issue. Ralph McCaskey and Jim O'Brien died during the spring. Their passing was reported — if it escaped your notice — in the Memoriam section of the July issue. We and their many friends in other classes will deeply miss Cecil, Ralph and Jim.
The class likewise extends its sympathy to Cliff and Marie Akey upon the loss of their son, Marine First Lt. John F. Akey, in June from an automobile accident in Virginia.
Here we are again at the beginning of a new academic year, the 40th since our matriculation as Dartmouth freshmen. May it be a healthy and happy one for all 371 Twoters.
Thanks again to the dedicated leadership of Jack Dodd and to the devoted work of our class agents, '22 has produced another fine chapter in Alumni Fund history. Our class results are particularly outstanding considering the unusual 1958 ground rules made necessary by the Capital Gifts Campaign. The 95% participation figure is the all-time high for '22. In recent years the average gift to the Alumni Fund for our class has been one of the very best. This is true this year and strengthens the expectation of complete participation and generous giving in the Capital Gifts Campaign.
Dr. Gaylord W. Anderson, director of the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota, was featured at a recent assembly of the World Health Organization in Minneapolis. Universally recognized as an authority on public health, our Andy is a leader in this organization and he also served at three previous meetings of the assembly in Geneva. A few examples of Andy's accomplishments: past president of the Ameri- can Health Association; chief of medical intelligence for the Army during World War II; and more recently important professional missions to Egypt and to Korea. At the Minneapolis assembly, the chief of the international division of U. S. Public Health Service summed it up saying "The University of Minnesota is outstanding and Dr. Anderson is a world-renowned authority on public health."
Will Nicholson, our Mayor of Denver, was one of three Dartmouth alumni honored when the All-America City Award was presented to Omaha by the National Municipal League. Awards for outstanding citizenship were presented to a number of ex-Omahans including the three Dartmouth men, all graduates of Omaha Central High. The three were Nick, I. W. Carpenter Jr. '15, former Assistant Secretary of State, and S. S. Larmon '14 of the U. S. Advisory Committee on Information.
Additional honor came with the appointment of Shaw Livermore as dean of the College of Business Administration at the University of Arizona. Shaw also serves on the Mobilization Program Advisory Committee in Washington and on the National Defense Executive Reserve.
Civic minded J. Regan Brown has been made Chairman of the Industrial and Development Commission of Greenfield, Mass. Brownie also serves on the Montague-Greenfield Airport Commission and on the Greenfield Town Meeting. Dr. Edward A. Cramton, one of our distinguished St. Johnsbury, Vt., classmates, has completed his term as president of the New England Ophthalmological Society.
Bob Cate is serving his community, Branford, Conn., as town treasurer. Blay Atherton's successful recovery from an eye opera- tion is good news to the clan. Bill Bullen has been appointed individual gifts chairman for the United Fund in the Newton, Mass., area.
Too late now to help us keep out of undergraduate difficulties but highly pleasing to all Twoters: Eugene Hotchkiss 3rd, son of Gene and Jeanette, has been appointed associate dean at the College.
Gratitude to the Spiegels, Modie andCarolyn, for son Ted. Under his leadership as head agent, Ted's class of '53 had 578 contributors, highest of all classes in the 1958 Alumni Fund.
And similarly to the Horans, Frank andBetty, for son John elected varsity squash captain at the College. President of the interfraternity council and a judiciary committee member of the undergraduate council, John is also president of Alpha Delta Phi.
Bill and Margaret Morrell saw son Hugh take Penelope Jane Schroeder as his bride at a June wedding in the Messiah Lutheran Church of Plainfield, N. J.
Many Twoters are working diligently on the Capital Gifts Campaign: Bob Booth as area chairman for Manchester; Bill Bullen as special gifts chairman for Boston; ModieSpiegel on the leadership gifts committee and Gene Hotchkiss on the executive committee in Chicago; Bill Rex and Steve Kenyon as division chairmen for Manhattan aided and abetted by Roger Eastman, JohnnyJohnson and Bill Morreil as team chairmen; Stan Miner as team chairman for northern New Jersey; and Harvey Moses as vice-chairman for Springfield. Even at that, bet we missed some others.
Some crystal gazers pick Dartmouth as a leading contender for the Ivy football crown. Twoters will, of course, get together at the games but to facilitate old time recognition please leave sun glasses and toupees at home.
