1922

At the funeral service for our beloved Ernest Martin Hopkins in Rollins Chapel on August 15, the Class was represented by Jack and Fran Dodd, Carroll Dwight, LenMorrissey, Oscar and Bea Rice, Stuey andLouise Stearns. Hoppy became president of the College only two years before our class entered Dartmouth. He shared our college days with us and as he remarked in later years we were all somewhat young together. Both then and all during his distinguished career this class respected and loved him deeply.

To the sorrow of all classmates the In Memoriam columns of this or a later issue report that Ed Rowe, Ken Lindsay, and HiCrosby are no longer with us.

Congratulations and gratitude from the Class to Peter Kiewit for his gift of $500,000 to the College. The gift will be applied toward the purchase of a new computer and the construction of a building for the computation center of the college. President Dickey announced the gift on June 19 and said that the Board of Trustees had decided to name the new facility the Kiewit Computation Center.

The Class is proud of Pete and his great achievements. He is president and director of Peter Kiewit Sons Company with headquarters in Omaha and construction projects all over the world. His company has built dams, tunnels, airports, power plants, and buildings of all kinds, including the Atomic Energy Commission's gaseous diffusion plant in Portsmouth, Ohio, Thule Air Force Base in Greenland, several large projects on the St. Lawrence Seaway and Titan and Minuteman missile facilities in many states.

He is also vice chairman of the board of the World Publishing Company (owned by Peter Kiewit Sons Co.), publishers of the Omaha World-Herald; a director of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Co., The Omaha National Bank, the Northwestern Bell Telephone Co., and the Northern National Gas Co., a member of the University of Omaha Board of Regents and an active participant in many civic groups. He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree by the college in 1960. Thanks again from all your classmates, Pete.

An accolade to Dr. Richard P. Stetson of Boston upon his election last spring to the Board of Regents of the American College of Physicians. Dick is a professor at Harvard Medical School and an outstanding authority as a specialist in internal medicine.

When Herbert Faulkner West, Professor of Comparative Literature at the college, conducted his final class last spring he spoke on his 42 years of teaching at Dartmouth. Over 1000 students filled every seat, sat in the aisles and on the stage and spilled into the hallways outside. At the conclusion the students exploded into a standing seven minute ovation. One excerpt from his talk: "Dartmouth spirit is at bottom a spiritual thing which may be traced back to the wilderness days ... and which has grown and endured like an evergrowing stream as it reaches the sea."

In addition to his popularity as a teacher Herb is an avid bibliophile and an expert on the Scottish author, Robert B. Cunninghame Graham. As secretary and director of the Friends of the Dartmouth Library for the past 25 years he has been responsible for obtaining gifts of rare and valuable books for the library and he has also donated many books from his private collection.

Herb graduated from Dartmouth with our class and he has been a -member of the faculty since then. He was a teaching fellow for two years and he became an instructor in 1925, assistant professor in 1928 and a full professor in 1937. He received a master's degree in English from Dartmouth in 1924 and a master's degree in comparative literature from Harvard in 1933.

He is the author of several books, including "Rebel Thought," "The Nature Writers," "Cunninghame Graham: His Life and Works," and "Modern Book Collecting for the Impecunious Amateur." He has been a frequent reviewer of nature books for The New York Times Book Review. In addition he is also a serious artist and many of his paintings have won wide acclaim. From all of us, Herb, many happy years ahead and may the best be yet to be.

Huzzahs and accolades aplenty from all Twoters to our Head Agent Carter Hoyt and his dedicated band of 31 class agents who worked so diligently on the 1964 Alumni Fund. Their zealous efforts resulted in a stellar performance. The Class contribution of $30,000 was well over the objective and established a new record for '22. The Class participation index at 92 per cent speaks for itself. Thanks again from all classmates to Carter and his loyal associates for all they do for Dartmouth and for '22.

When the Dartmouth Club of the Hanover Area held its second annual buffet on August 20 in Alumni Hall at Hopkins Center it turned out to be a highly enjoyable get-together for some of the Twoter clan. Haskell and Harriet Cohn, John and Beth Mann (son and daughter-in-law of Bill and Betty), Stan and Catherine Miner, Len and Margaret Morrissey, Stan and Doris Jackson were there. Not that it was necessary but '22 undoubtedly would have won the attendance cup had there been one.

General Ike Miller and Harriet were also in Hanover during August to attend the Alumni College. Rumor has it they passed all courses successfully and enjoyably.

Ray and Doris Atwood saw daughter Gail married to Arthur M. Foley on June 20 at the Second Church in Newton with Judith Atwood as Gail's maid of honor. Daddy, of course, gave the lovely bride away. She is a graduate of Colby Jr. College and Wheelock College and Arthur is a graduate of M.I.T. Best wishes from the Class to the newlyweds now and always.

Bill and Odie Lee Bullen are progressing steadily in our '22 grandparents' sweepstakes. Sarah Margaret Bullen, second daughter for Jed and Debbie, was born May 8. David Stearns Bullen, third son for Bill Jr. and Jean was born July 18. All very good news because Dartmouth needs more Bullens - girls during the summer and boys during the winter.

Stan and Catherine Miner are likewise rejoicing in the arrival of their new granddaughter, Christina Elise Murphy. This little charmer was born July 31 in Zurich, Switzerland. She has Ronald Murphy '55 for her daddy and Catherine (Miner) Murphy, Mt. Holyoke '55, for her ma.

'22's national network can now report why Chuck and Dot Canfield missed last spring's little reunion. About that time they were seen at the convention of the National Trade Paper Association in San Francisco. Our reporters later traced them to Hawaii and subsequently to the home of their daughter and her family in Los Altos Hills, Calif. All very good reasons for missing the little reunion but we missed them too.

All Twoters and their families returning to Hanover for the Princeton game on October 10 are expected to get together as a class at the pre-game luncheon. It will start at 11:30 A.M. in the Leverone Field House. The notice went out with the football ticket applications and, of course, you returned it saying you would be there. Look for us among the ancient and honorable classes and we'll all be looking for you.
