1925
A note from the editor reminds us that summer is on the wane and we are approaching another academic year, which will mark the forty-first anniversary of our matriculation. Many changes have occurred during this period not only in the academic phase but in the physical plant of the College. It is suggested that those who have not been back to Hanover in recent years should plan to do so this fall. Four football games scheduled at home afford a wide choice for planning. The Holy Cross game is the most desirable, however, for two rea- sons, namely 1) that’s the weekend during which the class officers and executive com- mittee meet and form the nucleus of an in- formal class reunion and 2) the fall foliage which delights all lovers of nature should be at its peak at that time.
Several items of news trickled in during the summer months, some of which we are glad to pass on in these notes. Frank Ken-nedy has been elected to serve on the Alumni Council for a three-year term as member-at-large, also as a member of the Council’s alumni fund committee. Frank has been associated with C. J. Devine & Company, New York investment banking firm, since 1933 and a partner since 1935. He is the author of a number of articles for “Banking,” “Daily Banker,” “Bond Buyer” and other professional publications. In ad- dition to being active as an assistant class agent for the Alumni Fund and in the Dart- mouth Club of New York, Frank served as Chairman for the northern New Jersey area in the Medical School’s campaign to raise ten million dollars in capital funds. BobHardy and Hilda toured Scotland, England, and Switzerland, enjoying several rounds of golf on different courses. While in London they met George Scott, who plans to spend a periodic leave at his home in Pittsburgh this fall. Dot and Larry Leavitt went on a week’s cruise with Billie and Bill Jenkins in their 40-foot yawl, following the New York Yacht Club races. While off Edgartown, Ruth and John Packard went aboard one afternoon for a visit. John, it will be re- called, manages The Harbor View during the summer. Charlie Moore, vice president of public relations for Ford Motor Com- pany, has been elected to the Board of the United Community Funds and Councils of America and named chairman of the Na- tional Public Relations Advisory Council.

R. Beatty Lumber Company of Oak Lawn, a director of the Lumber Trade Association of Cook County and a member of the Chicago Yacht Club (boating is his hobby), the Beverly Country Club and the University Club of Chicago.
“Stub” Dwinell spent the summer “on the sidewalks of New York.” As a director of Friendly Towns for the Herald Tribune Fresh Air Fund, he and his staff got over nine thousand under-privileged children to country homes in thirteen states. Marshall“Scoof” Newton got married in June to Miss Gertrude Dexter Howe at Pleasantville, N. Y. Ralph Udall was best man. The groom is an associate professor of German at Tufts University.

Coop Rhodes, commanding general of the 98th “Iroquois” Division, an Army Reserve unit in Rochester, has been promoted to the grade of major general. Coop, an attorney, is counsel for the United States Atomic Energy Commission. A graduate of the law school of George Washington University, he began his military career in 1926, when he enlisted in the National Guard of the Dis- trict of Columbia. He served as a general staff officer of the 29th Infantry Division in Europe during World War 11, and was awarded the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster, the French Le- gion of Honor and the Croix de Guerre with Palm.
More notes are available for further dis- closure of news developed during the past three months; but the foregoing fills the space allowance. Moreover, in anticipation of a paucity of material next month, it’s a relief to have something in reserve.
