1900

Congratulations are due the Woodman family. Everett Woodman, son of "Jim" Woodman, became President of Colby Junior College in New London, N. H., on September 1, 1962. From 1939 to 1941, and again after three years' war service with the Navy, from 1944 to 1946 he taught at Colby Junior College. After receiving his Ed.D. degree at Boston University, he taught at the University of Illinois and one year as a Fulbright lecturer at Lyon, trance. During the past ten years he has been in India. He was first connected with the United States Information Agency as cultural affairs' officer, then as an attache of the United States Embassy at New Delhi, and latterly with the Ford Foundation as educational consultant to the government of India's Ministry of Education. Thus he has had wide experience in education and should prove a wise and able leader for the college. Without doubt he will now have to stand up to the label "Prexy" Woodman.

In late June Arthur and Jeannette Virgin drove down from North Hatley, Que., to Concord, N. H., in connection with some matters pertaining to the settlement of his sister's estate. On this trip they came through Hanover. In the afternoon they enjoyed a personally conducted tour of Hopkins Center, in its then state of being, and too had the opportunity of meeting some of the Center's personnel. On this occasion it was a rare privilege for your secretary and his wife to have dinner and a most delightful chat with these two fine friends. On their return to North Hatley, Arthur and Jeannette became vigorously engaged in gardens, the showing of Jersey cattle, an exhibition of antiques, and summer theatre. Time does not hang heavy on the hands of these two ever-young members of our family.

Martha Fowler, widow of Alvah Fowler, writes me that her daughter and her husband have moved from Troy to Tarrytown, N. Y. In many ways this is a very welcome change- for them. The move brings them somewhat closer to Washintgon, D. C., and the prospects of more frequent visits with Martha. Martha's elder grandson is now a graduate student at Columbia University, and the younger boy, John, entered Syracuse University as a freshman this fall.

Arthur Wallace has moved from 7 Union Square to the White Horse Inn in Milford, N. H., where he has both his rooms and his office. He and "Ben" Prescott, our two most loyal rooters at Dartmouth athletic affairs, attended the Heptagonal Games held in Hanover last spring. Arthur reports the arrival of more great-grandchildren. The total is now eighteen. Arthur very cautiously admits that perhaps it is too many. An admission which gives some basis in fact for what the sociologists call "the exploding population problem."

How have the mighty fallen! And "Chels"Atwood is not here to defend himself. While in college "Chels" used to boast of the fact that he was one of three Democrats in our class of about 140. He was given to talking about being a Vermont Democrat, and that was surely something to talk about in those days. Marion Atwood, "Chels'" widow, recently wrote me that in Massachusetts her husband was a registered Republican. What a strange political reversal! One is at a loss to understand why our worthy classmate should be a staunch Vermont Democrat, and on removal to Massachusetts should become a registered Republican. Such political turn-coatism must have some deep and mysterious political significance.
