With the arrival of spring, our Class undertakes its annual project to support the Alumni Fund which is sponsored by the Alumni Council for the benefit of the College. Class Agent Eddie Chinlund deserves all the help that he can get to make our participation a success. Although this old fire-horse has been out to pasture for quite time, a thought comes to mind. If every man who did not make a gift last year would come through with a check to Dartmouth now, we would be off to a flying start. It would be so heartening to the men who gave last year, there would be no stopping us in our effort to make this our greatest contribution for this worthy cause. It is only human to look and see who is helping with his weight. With every new face, the spirit rises in the whole crowd. It's catching. The opportunity to publish the increasing number of contributors early in the drive helps beyond any ability to estimate. You cannot possibly know how much your support is valued and appreciated. Regardless of how much you feel you can give now, you can be a fire-lighter. Send something to Edwin C. Chinlund, 2 Gateway Center, Pittsburgh 22, Pa., or to the Dartmouth Alumni Fund, Hanover, N. H. Make your check payable to Dartmouth Alumni Fund.
And while we are on the subject of Class projects, don't forget the 35th round-up in Hanover from June 14 to June 16. This will be a fun get-together for all Twenty Niners. Trunkie Brittan is planning unique and carefree hours for the enjoyment of all who can roam back to the place which holds for us so many fond memories.
Tom Maynard writes that he is teaching English this semester to the freshmen at Virginia Union University in Richmond. This university has a student body of about 1100 Negroes. The faculty is integrated and Tom is greatly impressed with the quality and dedication of its members. He says, "Our students are from various states — mostly in the eastern part of the country — with the largest number from Virginia. These boys and girls are great people, and a good many are fine scholars, too. The handicaps, the snubs, the pressures these young people face, have faced, and must perhaps always confront do not make them despair — that I can see. Their general determination, dignified poise, and high courage make me — for one, anyway — very proud to be able to know them as fellow Americans, as well as to be one of their instructors." Tom taught English last semester at Miami-Dade Junior College in Miami, Florida, where there are 13,000 students. On his way from Miami to Richmond, he visited his father, C. Taber Maynard '04, in Daytona Beach, and BenLeavitt in Gainesville. Ben is head of the biology department of Florida University. Ben's hobby is hunting wildlife.
Karl Michael was honored for 25 years of coaching the varsity swimming team in ceremonies during the Feb. 27 meet with Pennsylvania. In addition to receiving a watch, an engraved silver mug, and many letters and telegrams, Karl had the pleasure of witnessing the presentation to the College of an automatic timing and judging device, an electric scoreboard, and a Sauna bath for the improvement of the swimming pool. In response, Karl thanked his swimming alumni, and predicted that within two years everyone will know that Dartmouth is in the big league. He said that these gifts complete the finest swimming facility on any college campus.
