1938

The opening soon of another Alumni Fund campaign accentuates an interesting contrast. I have just begun finishing up as Class Agent for my Andover Class for this year, the campaign ending in February. Mallory must on occasion get a little bit discouraged by the "not interested ' or "mad at Dartmouth" categories, but he doesn't have any problem compared to Andover, where a 50% participation record is considered a major achievement and 60% is outstanding. In addition I have received word of very many "not interesteds" who say "Andover did nothing for me" or who are resentful that their son was not admitted or was admitted and left for one reason or another. It is refreshing to remember the loyalty which Dartmouth men have almost universally to the College.

Comparatively easy as it may be to extract the dollars from Dartmouth men, the campaign, as always needs all the support it can get, and it saves considerable administrative work and extra propaganda if you get your contribution in early, thus avoiding the necessity for any follow-up by the assistant agents.

Jack Reichardt has made a major shift in his life, as he says: "It was a big move- across the street. The Alumni Office has had me deceased along with the confusion, but that is hardly the case." He still lives in Spring Lake, Mich., in case you had forgotten.

It's been quite a long time since we had any news of Clem Sandresky, who frequently makes the papers in a musical way. Well recently he was harpsichord soloist in Winston-Salem, N. C. He is now head of the school of music at Salem College in that town.

It would be interesting sometime to conduct a survey of the number of members of the Class who are employed by the telephone company. At my last remembering it included at least Herb Christiansen and Dick Francis. And now Lou Kraft is announced as assistant vice president of the Southern New England Telephone Company (New Haven). Lou has been with the company since 1940, when he started as an engineer's assistant. He held various engineering posts and in 1960 was named staff and personnel engineer; he has been general economic studies engineer since last January. By a strange coincidence another man promoted to the same level is a graduate of the college in the Class of 1930,- must be quite a Dartmouth delegation in Bell Telephone!

With the exception of time out for wartime Naval duty Tom Roberts has been a Kodak man on the move since his graduation from Tuck School in 1939. Tom's most recent move up was to Assistant Sales Manager, Consumer Markets, Northeastern Sales Division in New York City. Before donning the uniform he served Eastman Kodak in Rochester, New York, Philadelphia, and Kingsport, Tenn.; since 1946 he has pushed Kodak sales in Iowa, Illinois, New England, Cleveland, Philadelphia, and back again to Rochester, then out to Whittier, California — and now it's back east for Tom, Arlene and their three children.

"The fifth Round Table conference sponsored by the 'Home News' (New Brunswick, N. J.) will have for a theme 'The Economic Import of a Metropolitan Airport in New Jersey.' " Participants will include, among others, J. Douglas Carroll, Tri-State Transportation Committee Executive Director. Widely known in his field, Carroll has been director of the Detroit Metropolitan Area Traffic Study and the Chicago Area Transportation Study, consultant to similar programs in St. Louis and Pittsburgh, and was director of a social science research project and political science lecturer at the University of Michigan. He has a Ph.D. from Harvard in city and regional planning.

By the time this sees the light of day, I shall be in Chicago on official business (a convention) and am fearful of a collision course with one Francis X. Reilly, barrister of note in the Windy City. At any rate, Chicago shouldn't be muddy, as Hanover may well be at that time of year, although the snow has been so late coming that it may be the height of ski season rather than the beginning of the Mud Season at that time. As of today, Hanover is in the middle of one of those cold snaps where the thermometer is lucky to get up to zero, but there is enough snow on the ground to make Carnival next weekend possible.
