Cleveland

When Father Theodore V. Purcell, S.J. '33 was in Cleveland to speak before the First Friday Club on August 3, he also addressed the Cleveland Dartmouth Alumni Association at its weekly lunch the following day. Bob Conway '42, this year's president of the First Friday Club, made the arrangements. Subject of the talk was Ethical Problems in Business.

Father Purcell, Associate Professor of Psychology and Industrial Relations at Loyola University, Chicago, has spent the last year at Dartmouth as visiting lecturer on Human Relations in American Industry and Ethical Problems in Business. His pre-Jesuit training included an Arctic Expedition, studies at the University of Paris, in addition to his course at Dartmouth, and four years in sales and merchandising with Commonwealth Edison of Chicago. Since entering the Jesuits he has obtained degrees in Economics, Theology, and Social and Industrial Psychology.

One unfortunate incident occurred to limit attendance at the Dartmouth lunch. Just before noon all electric power was off in downtown Cleveland. Some of the group, who arrived early or happened to have offices in the upper floors of the Union Commerce Building where the weekly lunches are held, -were stranded for two hours on the 21st floor. The twenty waiting in vain on the main floor for elevator service were herded by Bob Conway over to the Cleveland Athletic Club where they had lunch and listened to Father Purcell. Attendance, otherwise, would have been close to fifty.
