Neil is presently a second-year student in civil engineering, president of the DSE at Thayer, and is studying under one of our research fellowships. Neil's winning paper was prepared last spring as a project in Fluid Mechanics.
John Minnich '29, now "Adjunct" Professor of Civil Engineering, lists his home address as Notre Dame du Portage, P. Q.

On November 3 he will address a joint meeting of the N. H„ Vt., Mass., and Maine sections of the ASCE gathering in Hanover for an inspection of the new Dartmouth Field House and the Hopkins Center.
In case some of you have not yet seen the article, there is a fine story, together with pictures and plans, of the new Field House designed by Pier Luigi Nervi in the August 2, 1962 issue of Engineering News Record. As these notes go to press, the final section of the Field House roof is being placed and it is expected that dedication exercises will be held there November 18.
