Because of Dick Lippman's two outstanding class newsletters during October, which marked his return to active duty with a near-record performance after a prolonged silence, and which also scooped me on several items, this will be a shorter-than-usual column. It is great to have the Lipp back in action - the adverse side effects notwithstanding.
John and Millie Corwith have moved from Westfield, N.J., to Miami, Fla. John is with Esso. To show what a promoter John is, he went south ahead of his family, leaving Millie to attend to the moving arrangements. Dick and Dorothy Baldwin visited with them while both families were vacationing at Cape Cod last summer. Dick also mentioned spending time with Bob and Beth Campbell at their summer place near Wellfleet. The arrival of Sarah, in July, makes ten children in the Campbell household. I can only imagine how busy the children keep Bob and Beth. Isn't this the largest '42 family?
The president of the Sohio Chemical Company has recently sent around the welcome news release that Henry Coleman, formerly manager of the company's sales division, has been promoted to the position of Manager - Chemicals.

In a summer dispatch, Ad Winship reported contacting Camp Hopkins in Plainfield, N.J., and Bert Anger and Joe McCormick in Providence, R.I. Ad also reported that Oily Quayleis partner to Louis Harris of public opinion and research fame and as such leads a busy and intriguing life keeping his fingers on the pulse of the nation. Oily was previously associated with Elmer Roper. East Birkett has been named a partner of Simpson. Thatcher and Bartlett on lower Broadway. East earned his law degree at Harvard. Ad's final item concerned Jack Harriman, whose son Wally visited Hanover in June to look over Dartmouth. Word has not reached me whether Wally is in the current freshman class. Jack holds a Stanford University law degree and resides in Los Angeles.

Mention was made in a previous column of Bob Blood's research and writings in the field of marital relationships. His book, "Marriage," was published in August by the Free Press. The New York World-Telegram made note of this in a review of the book, which is based on interviews of married couples in the Detroit area. In answer to the question, "How do you rate yourself as a husband or wife?" researchers found if the answer is "poor," you are probably the best kind of marriage partner. Bob explains that feelmgs of inadequacy as a spouse stem from high conceptions of the marriage role. Those of you who feel top flight better check your standards!
This abbreviated column is being written on a cold, damp autumn day in Rochester — not unlike some of that "in-between" weather you may recall from college days. Your secretary looks forward to keeping you informed of classmates' activities during the winter months ahead - once again you are requested to fire along some live ammunition, either to Lipp or to me.
Secretary, 154 Washington Ave. Rochester 17, N.Y.
