1900

A very interesting letter arrived in early February from Olivia Allaway, daughter of "0.W." Foster. Great excitement in the Allaway family! Bill has, somewhat reluctantly, severed his ties with Stanford University. On July 1, 1961 he was appointed Director of the Education Abroad Program of the University of California. The family has moved from the ease and comfort of Wilbur Hall in Palo Alto to an independent menage at 373 North Kellogg Avenue, Santa Barbara, Calif. Bill is responsible for establishing junior year abroad programs in various countries throughout the world for students of the University of California, During ring the fall he made an extensive tour of universities and colleges in eleven different countries of Europe and the Orient. Immediately as a result of Bill's trip, a center is in process of being established in France to accommodate 75 students, and it is expected that another center will soon be set up in Latin America. It is all quite a new project of its kind, and is entirely in line with the growing idea of the need for Americans to become better acquainted with the cultures customs, and ways of thinking of people in other lands. There is an off-chance that our young people have something to learn from other cultures. Such projects as this one at the University of California should serve to broaden their vision and develop a sympathetic understanding of the unusual ways of other nations.

" Mrs Calvin Foss, widow of "Cal." Foss, writes that recently she had the good fortune to visit with her daughter, Christine, and family on Cape Cod. Christine and her husband have moved out of New York City and have established a silk-screened Christmas card business at Brewster, Mass. The Cape is good for cranberries and, in season, for gorgeous rambler roses. Let us hope it is equally good for the Christmas card business.

Mina Risley, Carey Risley's widow, in a recent letter from Nova Scotia, tells of a visit last August to New England. Her daughter Marion and husband took Mina, her son Alan, and her grandson, W. C. Risley III, on this trip. They were away three weeks and made a sort of pilgrimage or hegira to Piermont, N. H., and Hanover. She speaks of the many changes she observed in the outward aspects of the College and the town. It was a real pleasure to Mina to have her grandson see Dartmouth where his grandfather graduated. Your secretary is sorry not to have been able to see and greet these members of the 1900 family when they were in Hanover.
