1922
September sunshine sparkles the lawn outside Baker as freshmen of '72 and their parents are guests at a reception with John Dickey, the deans, and faculty advisors. The sight inevitably reverts one to another September 50 years ago when '22 arrived in Hanover.
'22 was admittedly a miniclass; we totaled 434 as freshmen. '72 has 820 selected from 4,600 applicants. Practically all these new Indians were in the first quarter of their preparatory classes. Comparable standings for '22, to our knowledge, have never been proclaimed. Besides, if hearsay is correct, Twoters engaging in such an archeological project possibly might find it hazardous to their ego.
As expected, the geography of the two classes shows considerable change. Fifty-five per cent of '22 came from New England. Twenty-six per cent of '72 comes from New England. With '22 shown first and '72 following, the percentages for other areas are: Middle Atlantic 24, 30; Middle West 17, 21; Far West 2, 7.5; South 1, 11; Foreign 1, 4.5.
'22 came from 27 states. '72 comes from 47 - anybody know anybody in Nevada? Massachusetts was by far '22's homeland, followed by New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut. For '72 the leaders are New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, New Jersey, Connecticut. '72 also has students from more than a score of other countries. Probably no Twoter has forgotten our three internationals: John Brower, Toronto; PhyaDcnavanik Montri, Bangkok; and HarryLiao, Peking.
A final comparison is the distribution between public and private school graduates. The percentages for '22 and '72, respectively, are: Public high school 67, 77; private preparatory paratoryschool 33, 23. Yet where '72 lives and where it prepped are minimal compared with the depth of '22's sincere wish that '72 will become staunch sons of the Old Mother and develop the same affection for Dartmouth that '22 has cherished for 50 years.
Two classmates are highly pleased and so is '22 to have sons as Dartmouth freshmen. Dr. Markey Pullen has Vincent Paul and Dr. Raymond G. Millemann has Steven James.
Most pleasing sight in Scenic New Hampshire these days is Gen'l Walter I. Miller back on his job and recovering nicely from the August mishap.
The news that Dr. Richard P. Stetson had been elected first vice president of the American College of Physicians last spring arrived too late for more than cursory mention in the June notes. Now, with acknowledgements to Who's Who, the Britannica and Boston newspapers we have additional information on what Dick has been up to and his new honor.
The press, in essence, says that Dick received his M.D. at Harvard in 1926 and, after years of professional practice, in 1941 he was made a Fellow in the American College of Physicians. From 1942-'46 he served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Medical Corps. After the war he returned to distinguished practice and he has been associated with the Veterans Administration in a number of advisory and supervisory capacities since 1957 when he was first se- lected to serve in the Special Medical Advisory Group of the V.A. at Washington, D. C. From 1959-'63 he was Director of Professional Services for the V.A. in the New England and New York area. Since 1963 he has served as Chief of Staff at the West Roxbury V.A. Hospital. From 1953-'59 he served the American College of Physicians as its governor for Massachusetts. And for the past five years he has taught as Clinical Professor of Medicine at Harvard.
The American College of Physicians is an association of physicians engaged in the study and practice of internal medicine in its various branches. Fellowship of the American College of Physicians (F.A.C.P.) is conferred on nominees who present evidence of suitable professional qualifications and character as specifically set forth in the constitution and by-laws of the organization.
Dick has also been extremely active in charity fund drives and has served on the Board of Directors of the Boston United Community Services. From 1960-'62 he was president of the Medical Foundation, a member agency of the United Fund. He is presently a member of the Board of Directors, Massachusetts Bay United Fund. And that's all Dick has been up to and that's why '22 proudly congratulates the Stetson family of Dick, Dorothy, sons Richard and George and three grandsons.
Greetings and best wishes from all classmates to Donald A. Powell and Mrs. Edgar Schofield who were married last June. Mrs. Powell, who with her late husband, was actively associated in music, is on the boards of directors of An Hour of Music and the Third Street Music Settlement. From 1954 until his retirement in 1965 Don was treasurer of the Union Pacific Railroad Co. His first wife was the late Agnes Blair Powell.
Harold W. Tucker, as reported in In Me-moriam, has left us. The Class joins DaveCaldwell in bereavement on the loss of his wife Edith last July. '22 also extends its sympathy to Oscar Rice whose mother passed away in the spring.
Migratory Twoters: Herm and Kay Carlisle left Coral Gables last spring to visit son Fred in California. On October 10, Ted and Bab Davidson, hopefully, will dock in New York from South America. On October 11, they will arrive in Hanover, we hope, for the Princeton game. Ray andDoris Atwood, we also hope, will arrive in Hanover for the game after visiting daughter Judy, her husband, Roger McClure, and Stephen, the first Atwood grandchild, in Los Angeles. Oscar and Bea Rice definitely will make the Princeton game, though they too have returned from visiting daughters Beatrice and Sylvia in California. Rumor has it that Harvey and Kay Moses, after enjoying winter on the Mediterranean, and welcoming spring at Tucson and other points west, didn't budge too far during hot weather from the sailing and swimming at their Lake George summer home. And back in New England, Henry and Floss Powers got together for a pleasant visit with Dickand Mary Litchfield at their White Mountain home in Chocorua.
"The Rutland Herald" some time ago announced the candidacy of Stanley P. Miner for re-election to the Vermont House of Representatives. He is presently ranking member of the Appropriations Committee, and has also served on the subcommittee for studying executive and legislative reorganization. He was a member of the Commission for Interstate Cooperation for four years and the Educational Television Broadcasting Council. He is also a trustee and member of the executive committee of the Vermont Historical Society. If all Stan's constituents were Dartmouth folks, he'd win re-election unanimously.
Remember, your class dues memorialize '22 in Baker Library and pay for your ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
