1927

A full report of the Fall Reunion will be found in this column next month, since this is being written two weeks before it takes place. However, while we are on the subject of reunions, it might not be amiss to mention the 35th, which will be held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 11, 12 and 13. During the summer, Shorty Oliver and his committee have been meeting, and their plans are already well advanced. The program will, in general, follow that of the 30th, and with the same group in charge, we are assured of a well planned, smooth running affair. While next June may seem a long time away, there are a lot of us who live a long way from Hanover, and a trip back takes some long range planning. Now is the time to get that planning started. If you weren't at the 30th, ask someone who was there, and I think that you'll discover that any amount of planning that it takes is worth while.

On Saturday, September 24, President Kennedy sent to the Senate the nomination of Dudley B. Bonsai as Federal district judge for the Southern District of New York. Dud, who has specialized in private practice of international law, has often expressed concern over the need for greater individual freedom. He holds that personal security and the rights of the individual are important aspects of national security. In 1956, he was chosen by leaders of the bar in New York City to head their study of the Federal loyalty-security program, and urged reforms on the grounds that individual liberties in this country must be upheld as a continuing appeal to the oppressed in every land. He has recently finished a term as president of the New York City Bar Association. Dud received his law degree from Harvard Law School in 1930, and has been a partner in the New York law firm of Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Cole and Mosle since 1938, with the exception of the years from 1942 to 1945, when he was in Washington as Chief Counsel for the Office of Inter American Affairs. He is a director of the Elastic Stop Nut Corp. of America, the American European Securities Co., and the American Fund for Free Jurists: a trustee of the Institute of International Education, and the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute; a member of the International Commission of Jurists, Geneva. He lives in Bedford Village, N. Y., and has an apartment in New York City.

Josh and Jill Davis will miss the fall reunion, as they fly that day to Frankfurt, Germany, where their son, Bill, is stationed with the U.S. Army. Bill expects to get a fifteen-day pass, and they will spend that time with him, traveling through southern Germany, Austria and Italy, sailing from Naples around the middle of November.

Finding a big house too much of a chore, with both their daughters married, Al andEthel Lagacy have decided to try apartment life, and have moved from Saddle River to Colony House at 122 North Riverside Ave. in Red Bank, N. J. They find the combination the Jersey shore and the freedom of the responsibility of a big house most pleasant.

A letter from Bill and Kay Prescott brings news of their two Dartmouth sons. Bill Jr. '58 has been transferred from Mobile to Chicago by the Scott Paper Co., and Jack '61 has entered Yale Forestry School, where he is studying for a Master's degree.

It's dues time, so if you haven't sent your check to Gus, do it now.
