Medical School

On April 28 and 29, the officers of the Dartmouth Medical Alumni Association held a very enthusiastic conference relative to revitalization of the organization to keep pace with the expansion of the School. Participants were: President Curt Tripp M'19 of New Bedford, Mass.; Vice president ArtBurnham M'14 of Lebanon, N. H.; Executive Committeemen Bill Conklin M'32 of Portland, Oregon, Harry Crawford M'27 of Rochester, N. Y.; and Harry French M'13 of Hanover. Also present were: Spence SnedecorM'21 of Hackensack, N. J. as an active alumnus; Dick Robin D'29 representing Friends of Dartmouth Medical School; Ad WinshipD'42 representing the Development Council; Ted Bremble D'56 of the College Secretary's Office; Charlotte Ford Morrison of the Alumni Records Office; and your correspondent as Secretary of the Medical School. A tentative agenda for the June meeting, to be held following a luncheon at the School on June 16, was established; and plans for that luncheon as well as for one on June 28 in New York at the AMA meetings were com- pleted. You should put on your must list one or both of these luncheons.

As you may have seen in the press, through the generosity of The Kellogg Foundation construction of a much-needed Auditorium will be under way in the near future. This addition to the Medical School complex is planned to include a physical connection for the School with the Hospital.

On the afternoon of April 29 an open house was held at the School to permit interested residents of the area to inspect the new Medical School. Our students acted as guideushers and did an excellent job of piloting some one thousand people through a onehour tour of our facilities.

It is with mixed feelings that we report the resignation of Ferdinand Kreuzer, M.D., Associate Professor of Physiology, from the Faculty. We are pleased to know of his elevation to the Chair in the Department of Physiology at University of Nijmegen, Netherlands, but truly regret his departure from Hanover.

The television program from this campus on The Great Issues of Conscience in Modern Medicine will continue to be shown over various stations throughout the country until late July. We are trying to advise all of you when it may be seen in your area, but watch your newspaper programs in case we miss you inadvertently. It is worth seeing.

One addition received too late for inclusion in the intern lists as reported last issue: Floyd Robinson will go to Jefferson Davis in Houston, Texas.

That time of year has come, and this is the schedule of weddings received to date: ArnieMulder M'58 to Gretl Malnic on May 13;Bill Gallagher M'58 to Diane Shugrue on June 3; Fen Riley M'58 to Anne Ferrebee on June 10; Tom Aaberg M'59 to Judith Young on June 17; and Bob Keller M'59 to Sarah Exline, a "June wedding." We have heard also that Don Abel M'60 and Gary KorenmanM'60 were taking their vows, but have no more details. We received a nice letter from Bob Spears M'55 from Paris where he is doing Pediatric Neurology under a National Institutes of Health grant, and he hopes to continue there until 1962.

Among our visitors since our last series were: Warren Franz M'51; Bob Keller M'59 with his fiancee, Sarah Exline; Bob and Martha Timothy M'59 with their proud stories of Katharine, aged six months; Don Abel M'60; Ted Harris M'60; and Barry Smith M'60. Did you know that Bill and Dicky Thomas M'59 have a new daughter, Anne.

We hope to see YOU in Hanover, New York, or both, for the June meetings.
