1922
It would be real pleasant if these notes could consist solely of happy news. But that wish is not possible this month, particularly when the deaths of Jere Robinson and Jib Sawyer are reported in In Memoriam.
With 347 members our class now enters the 42nd academic year since we registered as freshmen in September 1918. The total class consisted of 485 members with 257 graduates.
Hope no Twoter missed the genuinely good news that during commencement and reunion weeks three of our classmates were highly honored by the College.
Peter Kiewit, president of Peter Kiewit Sons Company of Omaha and throughout the world, was awarded Dartmouth's Doctorate of Laws. If by any chance you failed to see the citation in the July issue, read it now and share with justified pride in the accomplishments of our eminent classmate.
Bill Bullen was one of three distinguished Dartmouth men to receive an Alumni Award from the Alumni Council. Can't resist quoting one sentence from the citation: "You are a loyal Dartmouth son of the first rank." All Twoters take great satisfaction in this highly merited recognition of Bill's unstinting work for our Class and our college.
Jack Dodd was honored by the request of the Alumni Council to be Chairman of the 1961 Alumni Fund Committee. All of us appreciate how energetically and devotedly Jack has worked for many years as head agent for our class. With his guidance '22 has achieved results that place the class in high rank for Alumni Fund activities. With Jack as chairman, the College has put the 1961 Alumni Fund under highly competent and dedicated leadership.
Congratulations from all Twoters to each of the trio. Your accomplishments add to the pride and the delight of all classmates.
Our Joseph E. Talbot, chairman of the U. S. Tariff Commission, returned to his home town last spring to honor a retiring high school teacher. Joe was the principal speaker at a testimonial banquet held by the Naugatuck High School Alumni Association. Joe has been a member of the U. S. Tariff Commission for the past seven years and became chairman May 5, 1959. He is also a member of the committee on Trades Agreement, chairman of the committee on Reciprocity Information and a member of the Standing Committee on Customs Law. Professionally he is a member of the American and the Connecticut Bar Associations. Joe and Grace make their home at St., N. W., Washington, D. C.
With another academic year under way, Shaw Livermore and his family are undoubtedly busy people. Shaw is Dean of the College of Business and Public Administration at the University of Arizona in Tucson. He is also an active member on the National Advisory Committee of the Office of Civilian Defense Mobilization. His son Shaw Jr. is assistant professor of American history at Princeton and daughter Gloria is a college instructor in classics at Wellesley.
When Ed McNamara retired in July from the W. T. Grant Co. he was honored both by the Hartford business community and by his company. He received a surprise testimonial on July 19 from Hartford retail business executives. And on the following evening he was the guest of honor at a large dinner at the Hartford Statler Hilton attended by the president and several vice presidents of the Grant Co. Mac has been with the company since his graduation 38 years ago. Before taking over managerial duties at Hartford, he managed Grant stores in Lynbrook and Hempstead, Long Island; Rochester, N. Y.; and East Liberty, Uniontown and Johnstown, Pa. Always active in community affairs, Mac is a past president of the Hartford Retail Trade Board and a member of the executive committee of the Hartford Chamber of Commerce. He is also on the board of governors at the Manchester (Conn.) Country Club. The best wishes of the clan accompany Mac and Katherine into the years ahead.
One pleasantry o£ the summer was an exchange of brief notes with Ralph Adams, Two Lights Road, Cape Elizabeth, South Portland, Maine. Good to hear from you, Mike.
Timothy, son of Tony and Eleanor Hanlon, was '22's representative at Scouting's Golden Jubilee, the 55,000 Boy Scout National Jamboree at Colorado Springs in July. The Boston Herald photographically captured scout Tim as he prepared to board the special train in Boston. Traveling light, the boy only had a big knapsack on his back, an oversized duffel bag in each hand and a huge paper bag - probably sandwiches, oranges, cakes, and cookies - between his teeth.
Let's face it, at this stage of the game it may be questioned if new grandchildren in the class rate consideration as spectaculars. Immediate kin might of course disagree vehemently. Yet all of us will be pleased to know Carroll and Nan Dwight are grandparents again: a third child, second daughter, bora July 8 to Mr. and Mrs. David L. Bens (Mary Gay Dwight).
Recent address changes: Charles E. Canfield, Arlington, Vt.; N. Osborne Siegfried, 6 North Pearl St., Buffalo 2, N. Y.; Col.Ralph Totman, USAF Retired, Forest Road, Alstead, N. H.; Rev. Clarence W. Adams, 2913 West Oak, Sioux Falls, S. Dak. Good health and happiness at the new locations.
Where are the other notes you sent in? Thanks for them but be patient. No news will be suppressed and there's a long winter ahead.
