1908

Another "hail and farewell." This time, we advise with sorrow, it is to Fred Schilling who died December 30 in New York. Fred had retired in 1956 as Vice President of the Turner Construction Company and had since been doing institutional work as Executive Secretary of a Building Association. His ever sincere and friendly manner will be missed by us all.

It now appears that the Royal Park Inn at Vero Beach will during March be host to the largest gathering of Dartmouth men and wives ever. What started as a '08 reunion has now spread to include the Dartmouth family in general, and there are to be many from other classes. Of particular interest to this column, however, are the '08 classmates and wives who, with various degrees of certainty, hope or expect to be present in March for varying lengths of stay. Many have definite reservations. Just look at the list of '08ers: Symmes, Soule, Hinman, Lewis, Warren Currier, Merrill, Furman, Bills, O'Shea, Phil Thompson, Thorp, Thwing, George Lowe, Lanphear, Treadway, Knox, Squier and honorary members Perry, Douglas and Harwood. I know of others who are considering the trip. How's that for a winter reunion? There's time to join the fun. Write Larry Treadway.

Walter Furman writes of an interesting incident at the Princeton game last fall. He and Gertrude happened to sit next to a very excited man who was so thoroughly pleased at the result that he gave Gertrude a big kiss. Afterward, she remarked that he was a nice old gentleman. Well, he turned out to be an '07 Dartmouth man. Of course, it must be remembered that ours was always a very youthful class.

An item deserving of notice. The Dartmouth Women's Club of Boston, of which Mabel Gleason is a past president, has, since its inception, contributed the sum of $29,000 to the Dartmouth Scholarship Fund. That amount has helped many a worthy student over the financial hump in his college course. Perhaps Dartmouth should go coeducational.

Treadway goes to Harvard. Another interesting development in the fast-growing Treadway chain is mentioned in a recent Wall Street Journal. Ben Knox spotted it and it is quoted following:

A three-story brick motel with 57 rooms is being built over an existing parking lot on the edge of Harvard Square. It will cater to visitors to Harvard and Radcliffe and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Parking for 85 cars will be on the first two levels with the motel above. There'll be a drive-in registration desk.

The project, scheduled to be completed about March 1, is a venture of the Treadway Inn and New England Motels, Inc.

PLEASE REMEMBER. Send news to Sydney L. Ruggles, R.F.D. 8, Concord, N. H. until April 1. Then back to the old duffer in Wellesley.
