1922
Our sorrowful loss of Harland Chadbourne is reported In Memoriam.
The busier a man is... John D. Dodd, as announced by Basil O'Connor '12 president of the March of Dimes organization, has been named a trustee of the National Foundation. And thanks to Stan Miner for the news clipping from New York papers.
Proudly we Twoters proclaim Modie J. Spiegel, chairman of the board of Spiegel, Inc. and an art collector, has been named to the Art Advisory Group of the Hopkins Center. The fifteen members of the distinguished group consist of artists, art collectors, historians and museum directors. They will assist in planning the art aspects of the new educational and cultural center at the College.
Peter Kiewit has been named to the University of Omaha Board of Regents. The Omaha press further says that Pete who manages the international activities of Peter Kiewit Sons' Co., is member of the Airport Authority, a director of the Northwestern Bell Telephone Co., recipient of Dartmouth's Doctor of Law degree, and is the sixty-fifth King of Ak-Sar-Ben, Omaha's great annual civic festival. Confidentially, Pete, when do you get some sleep?
Distinguished classmate Dr. Philip B. Gove brought additional honor to the clan when on January 1 he became editor-in-chief of G. and C. Merriam Company of Springfield, Mass. Phil joined" the Merriam Company, publishers of the famous Webster dictionaries, as an assistant editor in 1946. He became an associate editor in 1949, managing editor in 1951 and general editor in 1952. Thanks to Harvey Moses and Tony Hanlon who forwarded the news, all classmates can share with pride in Phil's accomplishments as reported by the Springfield Union: A native of Concord, N. H., Dr. Gove did his undergraduate work at Dartmouth College, took his M.A. at Harvard and his Ph.D. at Columbia University. As a William Bayard Cutting traveling fellow (from Columbia University) he spent a year of research in the British Museum and the Bodleian.
He served as a lieutenant commander in the Navy during World War 11. Dr. Gove taught for 17 years at Rice Institute and New York University. He is the author of "The Imaginary Voyage in Prose Fiction," is listed in "Who's Who in America" and has contributed several articles to learned journals. Dr. Gove has made a special study of the work of Samuel Johnson. He was elected to membership in the Johnson Society of London in 1939 after giving a paper on Johnson's Dictionary before the Oxford Bibliographical Society.
He is a member of the Modern Language Association, National Council of Teachers of English, College English Association, Linguistic Society of America, American Dialect Society, American Name Society, International Society for General Semantics, National Society for Study of Communications, and the English Graduate Union of Columbia University. He is serving on the Advisory Board of the Center for Documentation and Communication Research at Western Reserve University.
Dr. Gove and his wife, Grace, own a 210-acre farm on Old Patrick Road, Warren, Mass. Recently he was presented with a certificate from the Commonwealth "in recognition of agricultural achievement in soil and water conservation."
Two of the Goves' children are still in school: one daughter (Susan) doing graduate work in bio-chemistry at the Medical College of Virginia and the other (Doris) attending MacDuffie School for Girls. Their son (Norwood), a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, is a physicist with the Atomic Energy Commission.
Congratulations from all of us to Phil, to Grace and to the children. We are proud to have you as a class family.
From "News and Notes" published at Montpelier by the Vermont Historical Society and edited by Dr. Richard G. Wood comes the word that Prof. Herbert F. West addressed the Woodstock Historical Society a while back on the subject, "Collecting of Rare Books." Wonder if these two classmates did not have at least a few words between themselves about the class of '22? Thanks, Dick, and keep us up to date on Herb.
From Carter Hoyt via the Newton Villager comes good news that one of our class sons, Jed W. Bullen II has been named to the Dean's List for the winter term at Babson Institute of Business Administration in Wellesley. A major in accounting, Jed was also on the Dean's List for the autumn term. Dad Bill Bullen himself is no stranger to accounting.

Scuttlebutt has it some Twoters are still trying to jog senescent memories about that weekend come April' in Hanover. It will be April's best weekend - definitely not the lost weekend - that's for sure. It will be Friday and Saturday, April 14 and 15. One rumor has it there's going to be a clan gathering of some sort at the Hanover Inn but that sounds suspiciously segregationist. They say if you call the Hanover Inn and use the password class of '22 - you won't have to spend the night in the Phi Sig barn.
Secretary, 46 Myrtle St. West Newton 65, Mass.
Treasurer, in Laurel Rd., Chestnut Hill 67, Mass.
