1922

In fond memory many of us will want to pause and bow respectfully for two of our professors who have recently passed on. We join in bereavement with Dr. Gaylord Anderson and his mother at the loss of his father, Prof. Frank M. Anderson. With him we studied history and understanding of mankind. Similarly, we lament the loss of Prof. John H. Gerould, father-in-law of our Troyer Anderson. With him we studied zoology and respect of life.

From the New York press comes news that Prof. Herluf V. Olsen of Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business Administration will participate in a three-year program sponsored by the National Council of Churches to consider the ethical implications of rapid economic change in the United States. He has been appointed to a commission to study the impact of technology on work, employment, and labor management relations. This and similar commissions studying other economic and sociological developments will report their findings at the Fourth National Study Conference on Church and Economic Life scheduled for November, 1962. The National Council plans a church-wide program for local congrega- tions in 1963-1964. Good luck, Olie, a most interesting subject for a very worthy cause.

Joseph E. Talbot, chairman of the United States Tariff Commission, was the main speaker at a "man of the year" dinner held last spring at Torrington, Conn. The Torrington Register says "Mr. Talbot is well known in the Torrington area, having represented northwest Connecticut in the 78th and 79th Congresses. A graduate of Dartmouth College and Yale Law School, he is a former state treasurer and has been active in national government affairs as a member of the Tarilf Commission since 1953." Good to hear of you, Joe, and best regards to Grace and the children.

According to the Pelham (N. Y.) Sun, John S. Johnson has been selected by the Citizens' Nominating Committee to serve a second three-year term on the Pelham Board of Education. During his first term he served on the finance and building committees. He is assistant to the Chairman of the Board of the U. S. Rubber Co. A former president of the Pelham Men's Club and of the Pelhamwood Association, he is a prominent citizen in many community activities. Johnny, we all expect to see you at the Fortieth.

Richard G. Wood is an incorporator of the recently organized Justin Smith Morrill Foundation, Inc., of Burlington, Vt. The nonprofit foundation was formed to purchase and improve the Stafford (Vt.) homestead of former Congressman Justin Smith Morrill. The purpose of the organization is "to advance and promote the concepts of higher education as embodied in the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 through scholarships, grants and gifts." Remember, Dick, "It is a small college. . .

Regarding the memorial volume in the Baker Library to commemorate Jack Strauss, his wife Lillian writes: "I deeply appreciate the book in memory of Tack. It is very comforting to know that he is so well remembered for the qualities that made him the uniquely fine person he was. Some of the happiest years of his life were those he spent in Hanover and he often spoke of his classmates."

Touche! Yet the facts were all so obvious. Last spring this clear, concise column conscientiously reported a wedding in Florida. The principals were Mary Ellen Shea, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Shea, and Philip R. Shea, son of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Shea, all of Miami. Nothing confusing about that — Just a lot of unrelated Sheas, that is before the wedding to say. Despite the crystal clarity of the situation this column goofed. It bet on the groom and claimed Philip R. Shea as the son of our Johnny and AnnaShea. That, alas, was contrary to fact. It should have bet on the bride, Mary Ellen Shea, because she is the daughter of our Mr. and Mrs. John J. Shea. How could anyone make a mistake like that? The lesson: always bet on the bride. Our apology to Mary Ellen Shea, now Mrs. Philip R. Shea, and to our Johnny and Anna Shea - with best wishes to the young two Sheas.

Carter Hoyt claims it should be called the Fabulous Fortieth. Dissenters say the Fantastic Fortieth. Only one vote so far for the Finicky Fortieth — he wants to know if Hanover assures appropriate cuisine for his Afghan. Serious requests of this nature together with lists of allergies and idiosyncrasies should, of course, be sent directly to our reunion chairman - Robert J. Clark, Lands End Farm, Hawleyville, Conn. Good luck, Bob, we'll all help you - with suggestions.
