1933
A New Hampshire Northeaster gives us cause to interrupt our vacation and renew reporting to you again. First on the docket is the first of a series of reminders to you that next June brings with it our Thirtieth Reunion. Bill Dewey and his committee are already well into their plans, not only for the big doings in June but for “reunions” with ’32 and ’34 at the Harvard and Princeton games. The current programing calls for these two classes to combine many of their activities with ours “under the same roof” so that we will have much greater opportu- nity for renewal of associations with mem- bers of those classes than would normally be the case. Better mark your calendars now and watch for forthcoming details.
$23,802.85 is a lot of mazuma and cer- tainly a figure that no one, back in the depression days of our graduation, would have dreamed our class could possibly raise in one year for the Alumni Fund. Thanks to Sid Stoneman, his team of agents, and 378 of you stalwarts out of a possible 485 contributors, that’s what 1933 gave to the College for its many worthy purposes. It marked a new high for us in dollars, some $5,000 better than last year. However, our percentage of objective ($30,520) was only 78%. If each of the 107 potential givers had given an average of $lO, we would have exceeded our goal. There’s no law of which we know that prevents advance pay- ments in “painless” increments toward next year’s Fund. No better time than this our Reunion Year to make or exceed our goal for the first time.
Teacher, scientist, college dean, acting university president, and now college pres- ident is the distin- guished record of John Reed who has gone west to assume new duties with a new college. Acting pres- ident of the Univer- sity of New Hamp- shire since last De- cember, John is now president of Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. Formerly a two-year institution. Fort Lewis with state support has been expanded to a four-year college, and to John will fall the difficult tasks of build- ing a faculty and plant. The chairman of the University of New Hampshire board of trustees said: “In Dr. Reed the University loses not only a teacher and scholar, but a man of real integrity with a rare combination of Yankee ingenuity and frontier vision.”
At a garden ceremony, most appropri- ately in the Bema, on August 11, the first all 1933 nuptials joined Martha Man- chester, daughter of Jack and Dotty, and Jackson White Wright Jr., son of Dr. Jack and Madge, in marriage. Jack Wright was best man for his son, Williams ’5B and Harvard Law School ’6l. Martha, Smith ’6O, was given in marriage by her father, JackManchester. The Reverend Leonard E. Clough of the Church of Christ at Dart- mouth College officiated.
Two others of our progeny merit our plaudits: Tom Hale’s son, Jim, valedictorian of the class of 1962 (see The Greatest Is- sue: Self-Fulfillment in the July issue it’s worth your while); near perfect scholastic record; multiple honors and recipient of the Dartmouth Graduate Fellowship in Law at the University of Minnesota and Bill King’s son, Billy, captain-elect of football, who was elected captain of the 1963 lacrosse team. making him the first football captain to lead a second sport since Chubby Pearson received that honor in 1941.

Hank and Helen Smith stopped by on the one day this summer when no one was here so a telephone chat with them while they were on vacation in Hanover had to suffice. Mel Katz called from North Conway where he and Ruth were en route to Hanover. We spent a pleasant afternoon with Dick Gold-thwait here on Lake Wentworth in Wolfe- boro where Dick and his family own the first modernized cottage on the lake. He had just returned by car from Alaska no easy feat after continuing his glacier studies in that beautiful country.
