1944

Bill McElnea has taken on another directorship, this one with Air Control Products, Inc. Good picture of Bill in the Herald Tribune, December 23. Again I'm indebted to Bob Colwell for this information and for that about his cousin, Harry Colwell, being named Assistant Vice President of Chase Manhattan Bank the first of the year. Harry is in the aviation department and will have his office in the new sixty-story Chase Building now under construction.

Mrs. Arthur D. Weston of Martha's Vineyard sent me an interesting note about the expert family planning (and bonus) of her nephew, John Lovewell, and his wife, Beth. Originally, they wanted a boy, and that's what they got. Two years later they decided a little sister would be appropriate and, again, a bull's-eye. Ditto on their next selection, a boy. By now, convinced they were infallible, they decided to wind it up with a second daughter. Slightly off target, they closed out with twin boys!

Just about a year ago, Sheila and I were struggling with the compilation of the 1944 Directory for reunion. I've never had occasion to use the word "ers" (bitter vetch) before, but that's what it came to as when John Eaton sent his Christmas card to the Hose Craigs to me for addressing!

Dr. Sterling Suddarth, a specialist in medical problems in pediatrics, has joined the permanent medical staff of the Geisinger Memorial Hospital and Foss Clinic in Danville, Penna., as assistant in the department of pediatrics.

Gene Kinney, V.P. of Zenith, was recently elected a trustee of Vermont Academy. Columbia University's Mark Peisch participated in the Academic Convocation for the Advancement of Science and Art at The Cooper Union in November. Art kiendl. dean of students at the University of Colorado, has become quite an accomplished speaker, and from what I understand, is much in demand in the Rocky Mountain area.

And while on the topic of our more learned colleagues, I hope you read the interesting article about Dr. Marsh Tenney in the December issue. The trustees of the College elected Marsh as the Director of Medical Sciences at Dartmouth College and also to serve on the faculty as full professor and head of the Department of Physiology. Under his leadership over half of the ten million dollar Medical School Fund (which is separate from the Capital Gifts) has already been raised. Construction is well underway on the new, seven story, three-and-a-half million dollar Medical Science building located near the Mary Hitchcock Hospital. The Medical School's full-time faculty which numbered only seven in 19.56 has already grown to thirty members. We have much to be proud of in our Medical School developments and

in Marsh who is heading up the program. Now that we're speaking about the good doctors, Dr. Bill Brewster, who had been at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, is now with the College of Medicine at the University of Florida in Gainesville. . . . Surgeon Bud Coith continues to enjoy one of the best practices in Cincinnati. . . . Psychiatrist Francis Murphey has moved from Brookline to downtown Boston. . . . George Kent revelling in the sun and prosperity of Phoenix, Ariz. ... Jerry Yudkin has moved to a new home in Hamden, Conn. He's Director of Child Psychology at the Clifford Beers Clinic Obstetrician Brad Campbell also made a move, several houses down the street in Holden, Mass. . . . and Needham's favorite family doctor, J. Whitney Brown recently took a weekend off to represent Massachusetts at the General Practice Parley held in Kansas City. We've been one of the better M.D, classes, with over one out of seven graduates driving with privileged license plates. But it would appear, if Marsh Tenney has his way (and he does) our honor is rapidly paling.

Dartmouth's athletic adventures the last few years have been a joy to behold. But it wasn't too long ago that the alumni were moaning, "Things aren't as they used to be!" Last night I was rummaging for something and came across our 1940 football record, and was shocked to recall that despite the 3-0 win over Cornell we dropped contests to Franklin and Marshall, Columbia, Princeton, and Yale. Have you heard of Franklin and Marshall since?

An old high school friend of mine returned from Europe recently and reported that one of the greatest pleasures was meeting the "extremely interesting Mr. Fredrick Hier."

Kindly bombard me with some information for next month. I'm dry as a bone.
