1929
For the information of those of you who are not aware of the early deadlines for each issue of a magazine, and to those of you who have been — or will be (we hope) - kind enough to send us material for the class notes column, this is being written the end of January in order to get it to Hanover early in February - for the March issue!
Accordingly, we are noting the receipt of a photo clipping from The New York Times of December 27, 1958, which pictures the late Bob Fryberger's three sons, Dates and Jerry and Bob, twins, in uniform as members of the Middlebury College hockey team. We understand, from other sources, that one of the boys was not accepted a while ago and so they decided to go to Middlebury where they could be together and play hockey together.
Those of you who ski in the White Mountains, don't forget that Ed and Ruth Woodman are the hosts at Idlewild at Intervale not far from Cranmore Mountain.
When John Dickey spoke recently on some of the problems of running a college at the popular "Business Perspectives" meetings at the Dartmouth College Club in New York, several education writers were present and the inevitable newspaper headlines appeared the next day because he had mentioned the possibility of female students attending the summer school sessions that are under consideration. We have heard of a few heated as well as humorous reactions to the idea of women - other than the present plethora of dates - attending classes. Al Benjamin's letter to the editor of The Daily Dartmouth is one of the better ones and here it is:
As a middle-aged alumnus in the Class of 1929, I was interested in your first article on the panel discussion entitled "Perfume in the Classroom.'' I see in my mind's eye a convocation service with the men of the freshman class standing shoulderto-shoulder with the women singing "Men of Dartmouth, give a rouse lest the old traditions fail...brother stand by brother...deed for the old mother...granite of New Hampshire... musc'es...brains."
Subscribing to "The Dartmouth" for the last four years, I have been particularly pleased with the present editorial board and the adult approach to the problems they have dealt with. While I have not always been in complete agreement w'th the editorial opinions, I think all Americans agree that differences of opinion when well expressed and intelligently discussed are healthy. Perhaps some of the problems that created the discussion about making Dartmouth co-educational could be solved by providing free tuition to the wife of any Dartmouth student. This might promote the birth rate but it would certainly reduce the weekend exodus.
Noel Salomon of Hampton, N. H., presided, as president of the Dartmouth AlumniClub of the Seacoast area of New Hampshire, at a meeting in Portsmouth for undergraduates and prospective students atwhich the principal speaker was Davis Jackson '36, assistant director of admissions. Jackson was business manager of the ALUMNIMAGAZINE just before World War II and,after service in the Navy, returned to Hanover as assistant to the dean in 1945-46.

Bob Carr, who is now president of Oberlin College, is the subject of a short feature in the December issue of "The Chi Phi Chakett." A member of the Chi Chapter of the fraternity, he is also pictured there with his son, Elliot, also a member of Chi Chapter and presently a senior in the College.
Jack Gunther, a vice president of the Air Reduction Company, Inc., and a director of the Cumberland Chemical Corporation, which is owned jointly by Air Reduction and the Ruberoid Company, has been elected a director of the Ruberoid Company.
Bart Stoodley, chairman of the department of Sociology and Anthropology at Wellesley College, is the author of "The Concepts of Sigmund Freud" which has just been published by the Free Press of Glencoe, Ill. Bart is an associate professor at Wellesley, where he has been a member of the faculty since 1947. In his book, Bart re-examines Freud's theories and many of the case studies from which Freud derived his empirical data. He indicates changes which he thinks are required in Freud's thought, and discusses the interrelations of culture, social organization, and personality. This is Bart's first book, although he has written widely for journals in his field, including the "American Anthropologist," "American Sociological Review," "American Journal of Sociology," "Marriage and Family Living," and "Philippine Sociological Review." He taught at the University of the Philippines in 1954-55 as a Fulbright lecturer, and also has been a visiting lecturer at Wheaton and Simmons colleges. Shortly after going to Wellesley, Bart completed his graduate work at Harvard, where he received the Ph.D. degree in social relations. His special fields of interest include Philippine society, criminology, and relations between the self and society.
