1919
A spring event of great importance happened in Hanover on April 29 when there was a reception at the Baker Library in honor of Dr. John M. Murray (Jock to us) on his previous presentation to the Library of a special edition of the works of Sigmund Freud. The college's gift is one of three 22-volume presentation sets. Others have been presented to James Strachey, the translator, and Professor Freud's daughter. The books were published in 1962 by the Hogarth Press, London, and the Institute of Psycho-Analysis under the auspices of the British Psycho-Analytical Society. Jock's citation was, "Dr. Murray's sponsorship in the United States of America of the complete psychological works of Sigmund Freud greatly facilitated its publication." '19ers present to honor Jock on this occasion were Cotty Larmon; Jim Davis; Jack Clark; Stu Russell; Ed Martin; Jack Williams (who informs the widows that a book has been placed in the Treasure Room in memory of their late husbands, and they are most appreciative); Max Norton, former treasurer of '19 and reunion chairman; Bob Stecher, all the way from Cleveland and a generous benefactor of the Friends of the Library; Rock Hayes, back from 80 days around the world; Lou Munro, who just refuses to retire; Bob Paisley likewise, and Amos Blandin, of the aging class of 'lB, a retired Judge in New Hampshire and a pal of Jock's since their young days in Concord, N. H.
From all reports — and your Secretary had fragments of it over the telephone that evening, - the boys ????? were doing well. Bob Proctor was supposed to be on hand for the occasion, but the eminent legal light of Boston was detained on important business and couldn't make it.
The new Saint Andrew the Apostle Chapel at Saint Andrews School in Boca Raton (Fla.) was dedicated on April 8. The new chapel has been given in memory of Alexander D. Henderson, a founder, trustee, benefactor, and friend of the school. Saint Andrews School was founded by the Episcopal School Foundation as a preparatory school for boys of all denominations. It has doubled its buildings since opening in 1962 with an enrollment of 120 boarding and day students. Long-range plans are for a maximum enrollment of 285 students, with the completion of a library, gymnasium, and a fourth dormitory.
Tom Bresnahan has been busy doing his refereeing of various crew races - he was in Hanover for the regatta comprising Dartmouth, Rutgers, and Boston University, and the previous week the Packard Cup, Syracuse, M.I.T., and Dartmouth in the icefilled Connecticut. Then he and Claire went over the mountains for the week in snowbound Maine. Polly and Jim Wilson made two trips to Delray Beach this past winter and we were fortunate to catch them on their first trip. A card from Fred and GertDaley indicated that the Daleys were making a short tour of Nassau and Eleuthra prior to coming back to Venice (Fla.) and starting back north.
A note from Greif Raible, "You know I believe you are going to have to change these Happy Birthday cards to something like 'Glad to see you made it - best from 1919.' It is a peculiar thing but it seems to me that as you grow older people make a helluva lot more of one's birthday than they had heretofore. I think that they are all surprised that you lasted so long and that your borrowed time has not run out."
A note from Norris (Doc) Hodgkins, chairman of the Citizens Bank and Trust Company, of Southern Pines, N. C., indicates that his bank is contemplating a merger with the First Union National Bank of North Carolina, which he believes will work out well for their customers, their young officers, and their stockholders. Quoting in part, "Regarding Dartmouth 1919 - on the same day a month or so ago we had in Southern Pines Bill McMahon, visiting a friend here, Dick and Spike Dudensing, and Bob and Anne Lewis, thus, with me, making four Dartmouth 1919 in town at the same time. I believe this is some sort of a record."
'19ers checking on the Rands this past winter included Stu and Dot Russell, down from the Hanover weather to help Dot recuperate from an operation (the old timer's golf game was right up there, what with holing out from traps, etc.) and Fat andHon Jackson with whom we had a fine time also, but Fat's golf game was about on a par with your Secretary's which isn't too hot. Dick and Spike Dudensing stopped by from Fort Lauderdale for lunch when the Jacksons were here and the affairs of the world and the College were pretty well settled.
Eddie Fiske is planning a golf outing at Arundel in Kennebunkport, Me., on June 21 - those of you within shooting or driving distance should come, whether you play golf or not as the social aspects are as much fun as the golf. By now you will have received a notice of the big event.
Speaking of events, don't forget to put down the weekend of October 13-15 when the class gathers for their annual assembly at the Woodstock Inn - the game is Penn.
