Medical School

Announcement has just been made of the resignation of Marsh Tenney M' 44 as Dean. It has teen received with deep regret by those of us associated with him in the last few years. He has provided truly dynamic leadership, and has driven himself unmercifully in his efforts to improve the School. How very successful he has been is most evident to all of you who have had an opportunity to visit Hanover and see for yourself. The demands of these administrative duties have deprived him of much of the time he would have utilized in his teaching and investigative programs in which his chief interests lie. After next September, therefore, he is returning to that work exclusively, and we are pleased to know that Marsh will still be on the team as Chairman of the Department of Physiology. At this writing, no successor as Dean has been announced.

On Friday, October 6, a real treat was provided by the Students' Lecture Series Committee. This organization, under student management exclusively, presented our old teacher, and friend, Doctor Frederic P. Lord '98, Emeritus Professor of Anatomy, in a lecture entitled "Dartmouth Medical School - the Very Old, th; Old, and the New." Doctor Lord was at his best with his scholarly clarity and subtle humor, and we hope to obtain a copy of his fine talk for publication so that you all may enjoy it. At the end of the meeting, Doctor Stuart Russell, representing the New Hampshire State Medical Society, presented Doctor Lord with a Fifty Year Certificate of Service.

We are frequently asked for details relative to the origin of our students - hence the following. Of our 36 first-year students, 27 are from Dartmouth. The other nine rep- resent: Harvard (2), Holy Cross (2), Johns Hopkins, Middlebury, Minnesota, Rochester, and St. Lawrence. Home addresses indicate that five come from New York; three each from Illinois, Massachusetts, New Hamp- shire, New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania; two each from California and the District of Columbia; and one each from Florida, lowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The thirty-sixth is from Venezuela, South America.

INCIDENTAL INTELLIGENCE: BillWeissman M'51 is spending a few days here looking things over. Tom Clark M'54 is finally underway, having opened his office in Utica for the practice of Pediatrics. FrankWeiser M'55 has also started working in Internal Medicine and Cardiology on Park Avenue in New York. Joe Kennedy M'56 left the medical profession flat and is doing dentistry in Talcottville, Conn. The DickLindseths M'58 welcomed Eric Lars on August 13 at Syracuse, N. Y. The '59 party at The Old Homestead in New York must have been a real one since it inspired a card signed by Old Dad Hastings, Frankie Hoefle,J. C. Parkes, and Bill Yahr. The one redeeming possibility was the presence of the spouse of Old Dad. She may have been able to control the reminiscing! The Minnesota 's9ers, Tom Aaberg, Bob ten Bensel, and Dodd Wilson used Myrna ten Bensel's report of a new heir, David, as a cause for rejoicing in Minneapolis. Pete Spiegel's marriage to Peregrine Barclay of Palm Beach was confirmed via The New York Times under a September dateline.
