All classmates will be pleased to learn that our Dr. Richard P. Stetson of the faculty at Harvard Medical School has been promoted to Clinical Professor of Medicine. Dick is nationally recognized as an internist who has made significant studies on the disease processes of anemia, hemophilia, and diabetes. Boston papers also report that Dick is visiting physician at the Boston City Hospital, consultant in medicine at the New England Deaconess Hospital and Massachusetts Memorial Hospitals and is a lecturer in medicine at Boston University. The press adds that he received his A.B. degree from Dartmouth in 1922 (and '22 is proud to have him one of us), his M.D. from Harvard in 1926 and that he was a lieutenantcolonel in the Army Medical Corps during World War 11. Congratulations from all of us to Dick, Dot and their family.

Charles E. Canfield, chairman of the board and president of the Canfield Paper Co., 62 Duane St., New York, has been succeeded as president of the business by another good Dartmouth man Robert W. Newfang '32, who has been executive vice president of the company since 1949. New York papers say Chuck will continue as chairman of the board and chief executive officer. Both Chuck and Bob have spent their entire business careers with the company founded in 1906. Good luck to both of them and may their business always prosper.

W. Lloyd Barnard, assistant vice president of New York's Hanover Bank, has been elected president of the Elizabeth (N. J.) Board of Education. The Elizabeth Journal reports that Barney resigned from the Board of Police Commissioners when in 1959 he accepted an appointment by the mayor to fill a vacancy on the school board. Making good use of his degrees from the College and from Tuck School, he subsequently served as chairman of the finance and accounting committee, on the school properties committee and the educational management committee. Barney is also a former vestryman of St. John's Episcopal Church and has served as treasurer of the Elizabeth Town and Country Club.

Modie J. Spiegel, chairman and president of Spiegel, Inc., was re-elected president of the Mail Order Association of America when the group held its yearly meeting in Chicago.

All Steve Kenyon's classmates and his legion of Dartmouth friends will be happy to know that '22's highly competent and congenial Newsletter Editor has fully recovered from two operations for duodenal ulcer. Yet despite it all, during convalescence Steve put out one of his inimitable newsletters. It takes more than words to do that and don't think it isn't appreciated, Steve.

Charles S. Tapley was re-elected a trustee of Peabody Institute, Danvers, Mass., at the annual election.

Time rewards patience - Len and Margaret Morrissey, with seven grandsons, are rejoicing in the birth of their first granddaughter, Susan Katherine, born August 7 in Washington, D. C. She is the daughter of son Charles '56 and the University of California M.A. '57, and Brenda, California (Berkeley) '55. Charles, chief of the oral history program of the Truman Library, is currently interviewing key members of the Truman Administration in Washington and other cities. His disquisition "The Case for Oral History" was published in the July issue of "Vermont History - the Proceedings of the Vermont Historical Society."

New Hampshire papers during the summer reported Dick and Mary Litchfield busying themselves in their third season as proprietors of The Old Village Barn on Route 16 in the village of Chocorua. With unusual gifts, the Old Barn adjoined by an old fashioned rose garden terrace, according to the press, seemed like a unique and charming place to shop or merely to stop - particularly for Twoters who are always assured a warm welcome.

Regarding the memorial volume in Baker Library, Blaylock Atherton's wife, Kay, writes, "Will you please extend my thanks and appreciation to the Class of 1922 for the memorial in Blay's name."

Belated reports bring sad news that two classmates with us a short time in Hanover have passed on. The Alumni Records Office of Lafayette College reports that John P.Matthews, Lafayette '23, died June 25, 1962 at Douglas, Ariz. Jones, Kreeger & Co., Washington, D. C., reports that Henry L.McGrath, who was associated with them, died February 27, 1959 in that city. The Class extends its sympathy to friends and survivors of both classmates.

Accompanying an address change list received during the summer was a note that Parker Huntington had retired but at that time he was unfortunately ill and would be hospitalized for some time. Classmates hope Parker has fully recovered and is now enjoying the best of health. His latest address is 605 Esther Way, Redlands, Calif. Other address changes included: Malcolm D. Clarke, South Harpswell, Me.; Raymond B. Morris, 6030 Sheridan Road, Chicago 26, Ill.; Paul S. Peters, Suite 10, 44 West Emerson St., Melrose 76, Mass.; and Donald C. Spaulding, 1985 North Hibiscus Drive, Miami 61, Fla.

Seen the current gridiron version of the Big Green yet? Don't miss them. They're an eyeful.

Treasurer, 111 Laurel Rd., Chestnut Hill 67, Mass.
