Bob Carr will participate in a Lake Forest College convocation to explore problems of understanding between youths and adults. Bob is President of Oberlin College. What the convocation will seek to explore is the extent to which our society is to blame for the rejection of youth, and how the young are going to have to adjust themselves to the harsh realities of the world.
Received a nice bit of correspondence from Perley Perkins. Among other activities, he was director of development with administrational duties at the Melrose-Waterfield Hospital in Melrose, Mass. Following a brief stint of consulting in the Nursing Home field, Perley spent nearly a year in a special assignment at Children's Hospital Medical Center in Boston. He is now director of development and associate director of Union Hospital in Lynn, Mass. He says he sees Millard Tucker, and also Bill Andres once in a while.
This from Noel Salomon: " 'Up Tight' aptly describes my sentiments about this winter. So tomorrow my wife and I point the car south in search of some Florida sunshine for a month. Son Craig is a junior at University of New Hampshire, a better student than his dad, and plans to go to law school. So for the moment I am not making any waves. Just playing a supporting role except for the demands of my insurance agency and my activities as director and unsalaried officer of the Hampton National Bank." Phil May pitches in with his usual diatribe, and threatens to see me in one way or another. Any way would be welcome, Phil. He says that he and Grace are happy that retirement gratefully approaches. Jonathan, his oldest, is going for a Master's in geology, and Matthew, the youngest, is in the Marines in which he enlisted without crying about Lewis B. Hershey.
A most welcome bit from Carl Spaeth: "I continue to fill what I consider two full-time positions at Stanford, where I serve as William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law and as chairman of the University's committee on International Studies. My teaching is in the area of transactional law. My administrative work since leaving the deanship of the law. school has been concerned with faculty appointments, fellowship, and research assistance in the program at Stanford. My son Grant now heads his own law firm and is a member of the Palo Alto City Council. My daughter Laurie is a buyer at I. Magnin's; two grandchildren, 7 and 5. The lady I married, Sheila, and I spent last year in England - in London and in Oxford where first we met in the autumn of 1929."
Chris Born sends a page from the Technology Review (M.I.T.'s Alumni Magazine) about Don MacCornack: Don had a degree from Dartmouth in 1929, and received architecture degrees from M.I.T. in 1933 and 1934. He just got his 20 year pin from Brookhaven National Laboratory where he is head of Architectural Planning. "Have just about phased out community involvement, such as little league, scouting, P.T.A., school board, though Eleanor is still active in many community projects." They have three children: Martha married and living in Washington, D. C., Andy is in the Peace Corps, and Rick is a junior at Indiana University.
Jack Hubbard tells all: "I hope I'm going to be in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE with a report on our Memorial Fund. Inasmuch as John Blain died in December and I didn't receive word until January of this year, my report didn't include his name. Therefore, I am sending to the Memorial Fund an additional $25.00 today in his memory. As always, my life and family are an open book, and I have been accused of being gregarious. Sue and I still live in Dellwood Park, Madison, N. J., and we have added a little land to our place with woods. Last summer my son John did a great deal of work fixing everything up. He has now gone to work for I.B.M. in Poughkeepsie. He graduated from Dartmouth in June and that made him a third generation at Dartmouth, which makes me very happy. My father was a member of the Class of 1902. If anybody knows of a young farmer who would like to run our farm in Dorset, Vt., I would love to hear from him."
In a few days this correspondent is off to the Middle East, complete with bullet-proof vest. Woody Woodbridge and Art Rose have contributed valuable information and knowhow as regards those areas, and we look forward to the jaunt.
