Medical School

Enthusiasm is steadily mounting in anticipation of the first meeting of the Nathan Smith Medical Society to be held December I in conjunction with the dedication of the Kellogg Auditorium. Dartmouth Medical School alumni, Dartmouth alumni with a medical degree, former Hitchcock and V.A. residents and interns, present and former faculty and staff are expected to make the affair the biggest Hanover medical reunion ever. A practical scientific program, moderated by Dr. Dickinson Richards, Nobel laureate, will make the trip worthwhile professionally, while the social opportunities in the program are more than adequate to permit extensive renewal of old friendships. A banquet in Alumni Hall in the new Hopkins Center, with President John S. Dickey as the featured speaker, will highlight the end of this major event.

If you have not received your detailed program by the time you read this, please contact us immediately. We will gladly assist you in obtaining satisfactory room reservations if you will advise us of your needs early. Plan to arrive Friday night, November 30, to be ready for a big day on Saturday.

In connection with preliminary work on the above program, Myron Wright M'38 journeyed up from New York, combining the two-hour conference with a visit with his premedical son and the University of Massachusetts football game, as well as with work on future Nathan Smith Medical Society efforts. . . . Anne and Howie SawyerM'45 announce from Portland, Maine, the birth of Lydia Lawrence, their ninth, which should put them in the lead in the Stork Derby.

Speaking of the Portland area, Harris Hinckley M'49 of Cape Elizabeth stopped in for a pleasant chat on his return from the American Academy of General Practice meetings at Woodstock, Vt. . . . Another pleasant visit was that of Tom Huffman M'50 who now does internal medicine in Cleveland.

Wanda and Bruce LaFollette M'55, still in service doing Orthopedics, are on their way from Texas to Germany, via Hanover quite properly. . . . Al Friedman M'57 plans to leave Bellevue in New York, where he sees Jerry Finkel M'57 and Tom KuhnsM'57 regularly, to move into research in glaucoma. . . . Mike McKeown M'59 is sunning on the beach at Okinawa and recently met Al Gazzaniga M'59, a tourist on one of Uncle Sam's yachts called a destroyer, in Yokosuka. . . . Floyd Robinson M'59 brought his wife to Hanover in early September, as did Ken Robertson M'61 in early October. . . . Eric Sailer M'61 reported on his 1962 summer canoe trip to the Canadian wilds, and alerted us to his engagement to a Montreal queen.

We will look for YOU in Hanover December 1.
