Medical School
By the time you read this another school year will be well under way with nineteen colleges or universities represented in the expanded first-year class. With the five additional schools represented in the second- year class, Dartmouth Medical School is rapidly acquiring a cosmopolitan character.
Reserve the weekend of December 1 now! Starting with reunions on the previous night, the program will feature dedication of the Kellogg Auditorium, a timely and practical scientific program, and a banquet in the new Alumni Room of the Hopkins Center. Doc- tor Dickenson Richards, a Nobel laureate, will moderate the scientific session, and President John Dickey is scheduled to speak at the banquet. More details regarding the program, plus information as to reserva- tions, etc., will reach you by mid-October. If the addressograph should happen to miss your name, please contact us directly and we will see that you receive all material. At any rate, plan to be in Hanover for this out- standing event!
Progress in the construction program when you visit us now we can show you the Kellogg Auditorium completed, with Stras- enburgh Hall (the medical student residence) and the Dana Biomedical Library far enough along to permit one to visualize what is happening.
INCIDENTAL INTELLIGENCE: HillyPoindexter M’27 writes from Sierra Leone where he is serving as Chief Public Health Adviser under the U.S. Aid Mission. JackNorris M’2B has been honored for his dis- tinguished professional and civic service (as he well deserves) by the President’s Citation of the Medical Society of the State of New York, and by a second citation from the Rochester Academy of Medicine. Our sin- cere congratulations. Art Ecker M’32, with his wife and his premedical son, John, vis- ited us on a tour of eastern colleges, proving to John that Dartmouth is the only place to attend. George (Skag) Burke M’43 has been appointed Chief of Radiology at St. An- thony’s Hospital, Rock Island, 111., and is leaving the Fitkin Memorial in Spring Lake, N. J. Joe Dobos M’s3 tells us that he has “set up shop as a dispenser of herbs” in San Francisco where he occasionally sees FranzSchneider M’s2. John Crowe M’ss reports from Langley Air Force Base in Virginia that he is moving with his wife and four children back to Boston to complete his sur- gical residence after finishing his tour of military duty. After three years of research in immunology and infectious diseases in Minneapolis, Jim Hall M’s6 and Kay (who competed as “Mrs. Minneapolis” in the “Mrs. America” contest last year), with Jimmy, the twins and Wendy, will join the Redwood Medical Clinic in Redwood City, Calif. Joe Gonnella M’s7 is scheduled to re- turn from Korea this September, and his letter tells of meeting Bernie Carpenter M’s6 on one of his side trips to Japan.
Kirk Barnes GM’53 recently favored us with a short stop. Jerry Finkel M’s7, now in Pathology at Bellevue, visited us early in the summer and reported that Hank BloomM’s7 is now married and serving as Chief Medical Resident at Einstein; and that Chuck Carrington M’s7 planned to go to Yale in Experimental Pathology. Bill Gal-lagher M’sB took his wife and new daughter with him to the U, S. Naval Academy where he is doing some dermatology along with his duties as general medical officer. He was to be an usher at the wedding of Bill Han-sen M’s7 on August 15, but we have not re- ceived confirmation of the event yet. NickTschetter M’sB, the Denver pediatrician, spent a few hours in Hanover and then hurried back to Colorado to regale your correspondent with one of Eve’s fine din- ners. Howie Green M’s7, still in the Navy, has Bob Jeffries M’sB as his counterpart on the Blue Crew.
Liz and Erv Phillips M’sB left the Navy at Newport long enough to say hello re- cently. Bill Yahr M’s9 brought his new wife, Sunny, in to be greeted while on their honeymoon. John Remmers M’6o also re- turned with his new wife, formerly Patricia Bornier, an MHMH graduate. The gang really rallied around to be sure their wed- ding went off well with Marsh Tenney and Phil Nice representing the administration, and Tom Magill M’6o, Lee Gilliatt M’6o,Jim Penza M’6l, Don Bartlett M’6l, and Ken Robertson M’6l serving as class repre- sentatives. Ralph Miller M’S9 also walked down the aisle, his bride being Pamela Gun- dersen, the daughter of Dr. Sven Gundersen of the DMS faculty. Tippy Putnam M’6o thinks that the “cosmopolitan atmosphere of Montreal is good for the soul.” so he is remaining a foreigner. Lee Gilliatt M’6o maneuvered Helen Grondal into accepting the, responsibility of keeping him in the proper path. Don Miller M’6o, Tom MagillM’6o, and John Remmers M’6o participated in this event. Frank Virnelli M’6l returned for a brief visit in late August. Sol Rocken-macher M’6l and Linda Jean Lawrence, a graduate of the MHMH School of Medical Technology, joined the ranks of the newly- weds during the summer! Finally, Ken Dan- ielson M’63 is bringing Karin back to school this fall as Mrs, Danielson. Just received a nice note from Bill Fletcher M’s3, now teaching Surgery at Oregon. He tells us that Jay Chandler M’ss is working with him in cancer chemotherapy.
