1955

Fifty-five has been rather active the past few months, and there's lots to catch up on.

First, back to school: Lew Wolfson, formerly a reporter with the Providence Journal-Bulletin, is starting a two-year Soviet Union studies program at Harvard on a Ford Foundation fellowship. Dick Then entered Harvard Business School. Walt Miller, who's been an advertising assistant with Liebmann Breweries and an account executive at McCann-Erickson. received a $3,500 fellowship for a year of doctoral study at the NYU School of Business Administration. Walt has held a two-year teaching fellowship in marketing at NYU and is aiming at college teaching after completing his Ph.D. Jay Hogan, pursuing a degree in public administration, is working for a year in the office of the Massachusetts commission of administration under a Carnegie Corp. grant.

Out of school: Will Stratton graduated from Harvard Law and is now in Washington. And, still keeping it within the Cambridge campus, Joel Kennedy received his degree from the Harvard School of Dental Medicine and won an award "for the outstanding paper in the field of dental health." He's set up practice in Manchester. Conn.

Elsewhere in education, Bernie Segal, armed with Harvard M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology, was named assistant director of Goucher College's Center for Sociological Studies and began a study on attempted suicides.

Jon (Tim)Anderson moved up to director of Cornell's Office of Financial Aids after a year as assistant director. The new job controls $4.3 million in student aid annually. Do we have any challengers to top that figure? HartPerry, who was Eddie Chamberlain's assistant in the admissions office, became director of college placement at Kent School in Kent, Conn.

Dick Ames received his flight surgeon's wings and was sent to the Naval Air Station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Al Murray, with a Columbia Ph.D., joined the Treasury Department in Washington as a fiscal economist. Walt Van Dora passed the Massachusetts bar exam, having already hurdled Connecticut's, and is with Rackermann, Sawyer and Brewster in Boston. Norris Howard spent the summer 2,400 miles due north of Denver, flying a helicopter for the second expedition of the Canadian polar continental shelf project, a geophysical study of the Arctic portions of the Canadian North. His base was about halfway between the Arctic Circle and the North Pole, and the job consisted of flying lone observers out onto the ice where the two camped out for a few days and the passenger conducted tests and observations. Norris lived - wherever he happened to be — in a semi-permanent canvas tent. Probably no humidity problem in August.

Mike Roberts graduated from the University of Cincinnati Law School and in July was the subject of a very complimentary feature story headed "Just name it - Mike's done it" in the Cincinnati Enquirer. The article noted that Mike, father of four, was selected by the law school dean to serve as law clerk for the presiding judge of the First Ohio Circuit Court of Appeals, and Mike was quoted as believing that too many qualified young people shy away from active participation in government and public affairs.

Len is a resident in ophthalmology at Washington Hospital Center. Paul Flnegan set a date of October 7 with Joanne McDowell of Meadowbrook, Penna., so the ceremony should have been duly accomplished by the time you receive this issue. Joanne is a graduate of Penn State.

Irwin Yeckes became engaged to Carol Klein, an NYU alumna, and Jack Cornmam made his plans with Donna Carpenter of Fayetteville, N. Y. Jack is with the Daily Local News in West Chester, Penna., and Donna teaches at the Baldwin School, Bryn Mawr.
