1922

Haskell Cohn, Laurence Henderson, and Sterry Waterman attended the 1965 meeting of the American Bar Association at Miami Beach. Flamingo fliers from Florida report Haskell as a member of the American Bar Committee for continuing legal education and he is likewise on the Joint Committee of the American Bar and the American Law Institute. Judge Henderson of the Superior Court of Arizona has been largely responsible for setting up the conciliation division of the Superior Court in Phoenix and he is the judge in charge of that division. Larry intensively researched conciliation procedures established in other jurisdictions and took the best from all of them for Arizona. His accomplishment is producing excellent results. Judge Waterman of the U. S. Court of Appeals is the former president of the American Judicature Society. Sterry has been long active in American Bar Association activities and he has particular interest in fostering improvements in our court system.

Dr. Theodore R. Robie under the heading "Psychiatry - Injections for Depression" was featured by Time Magazine, May 7, 1965. Time's article, herewith shortened and scrambled, said in part:

Dr. Robie described to the Society of Biological Psychiatry a promising treatment for severe suicidal depression. In the short dozen years since drug treatment of some mental illnesses was shown to be effective, medical psychiatry (as distinct from the talk-it-out school) has taken giant strides - (and 22's Ted Robie has made significant professional contributions to this remarkable progress). One thing that has become clear as medical treatment of emotional illness has advanced is that progress does not necessarily mean simplicity. Eight years ago doctors attacked these severe depressions with one drug. Three years ago they decided they might do better with two. Dr. Robie said he was now sending formerly suicidal patients out of his office "jubilant" and "overjoyed" after a complex three-drug treatment.

The treatment is not for any do-it-yourself neurotic. One treatment may take two to three hours. There is also the problem that depression has many faces, and Dr. Robie took pains to emphasize that his three-way treatment is not a panacea for all types. It works best in the classical, introspective, melancholic depression, including the depressed phase of manic-depressive psychosis. It worked less well, if at all, in the supposedly simpler cases of listless neurasthenia, and on the severe forms of schizophrenic withdrawal.

In his East Orange, N. J., practice Dr. Robie tried the three-way method on severely depressed patients, some of whom he had been treating tor months or years, keeping them only just short of suicide. The first two or three patients brightened up so much before they got out of his office that for the first time in years they were glad to be alive. Among 24 patients suffering from the more responsive types of depression, Dr. Robie reports promising early results in 21

Many classmates joined Dr. Ted and his wife Beth on that wet, dreary afternoon in the Yale Bowl last October. Confidentially, after our defeat they all looked melancholic or just plain damn depressed. The Yale Bowl, in fact, has been known to produce some severe cases of environmental psychotic depression. But this year all Dartmouth men will leave that vast mausoleum jubilant and overjoyed as they have 15 times since 1935. Optimistic? Wait and see.

Dr. Edward a. Cramton according to our Northeast Kingdom correspondents, not only continues his practice in St. Johnsbury, Vt., but is also president of the New England Ophthalmological Society. Doctor son of a doctor father, Ed since'his 1925 graduation from Yale Medical School has made a distinguished career as an eye, ear, nose, and throat specialist.

Joseph E. Talbot was confirmed by the U. S. Senate on July 14 for reappointment as a member of the U. S. Tariff Commission for a term expiring June 16, 1971. Good to hear of you, Joe, though why must it always be from Yale Law School or the Associated Press?

Richard G. Wood was principal speaker at last spring's annual meeting of the Justin Smith Morrill Foundation at Stafford, Vt. Dick's subject was, "The World of Justin Smith Morrill." Never heard of Morrill? Well, about time you brushed up on Vermont history, including the United States - see a good encyclopaedia.

Ralph W. Hemenway passed away on August 23. He was with us freshman year and was graduated from M.I.T. Friends from freshman days will remember him and sympathize with his wife Kathryn of 55 Richgrain Ave., Waltham, Mass.

Les and Nan Wagner celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary in Copenhagen last spring. Sailing on the "France," they flew from London to Nice, thence to Lucerne, Innsbruck, and by train through Austria to Vienna. After Copenhagen they visited Oslo, went through the fjords to Bergen, then back to Paris and home again on the France. May they both enjoy many more anniversaries together.

Ray and Doris Atwood announced the marriage of daughter Judith to Roger William McClure on September 1 in the Central Union Church of Honolulu. Charming little Judy - one very old Twoter always thought her pigtails were cute as a baby's nose - the greatest of happiness to her and her husband.

Bob Cate is remembered in '22's memorial books. His wife Evelyn writes: "Please thank the Class of 1922 for the wonderful gift of a book to be added to the Dartmouth College Library. The children and I are honored and I know Bob would be so happy. He got his greatest pleasure from books. Thank you again for your kindness."

Chester B. Clifford and his wife Mae were summer visitors to Hanover. Cliff roomed with Stan Miner in SATC days and a pleasant reunion took place when the Cliffords and Stan and Catherine got together for dinner. After Dartmouth, Cliff went to the University of Illinois and Northwestern. His career has been in advertising and the graphic arts. After 20 years as a partner in the Craft Printing Co., Chicago, Cliff retired in 1957 and has since lived at 241 Live Oak Road, Vero Beach, Fla.
