1952

I promise you that this is almost the last time you'll ever be badgered by me for anything - at least in print. There are two very important concerns to be called to your attention this month.

First: Reunion! Remember it's June 21, 22, 23. And Friday will be an especially big day. Professor Bob Binswanger, of that rival institution with the bad football team, has planned an interesting seminar to bring you up-to-date on Great Issues. That's on Friday. After that it's the round of cocktail parties, class meetings, and just general renewal of the camaraderie when good fellows get together.

Last count on attendance which I got from Charlie Curtis this first week of April is as follows: Sure-to-be-theres — 139 classmates, 136 wives, 130 kids for a total of 405. Add to this the possibles — 110 classmates, 100 wives, 100 kids — and there's a possible total of 715 in attendance. Now, come on! You don't want to miss a group like that, do you? '52 out for 15th Reunion!

And that other little thing is money. The Alumni Fund! On this, our 15th we want to make a really good showing. And we want John Klein, that Yeoman Head Agent, to go out in class. First class, that is, in our Green Derby. So far so good. But not good enough. Those '53's will pull any kind of trick to beat us. So let's don't allow 'em to. Enough cajolery. On to the news.

More honors for Jim Fraser, one of our financial wizards. This spring the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of the University of Virginia awarded the professional designation of Chartered Financial Analyst to Jim. He had to take a series of examinations under the supervision of the Institute. Less than 30% of those taking the exams passed. So this puts our Jim in a rather select group.

Jim is president of Fraser Publishing Company in Wells, Vt. He specializes, naturally, in books on investment and related pursuits. He also recently began teaching a course in "Understand the Stock Market" at Adirondack Community College in Whitehall, N. Y. Might be worth the carfare every week if I commuted up there for the meetings! Hm'm.

The New England Telephone Company has got to be one of the more enlightened business concerns in this entire world. On the very same day in March they announced two important promotions in the Spring-field, Mass., office and both went to '52's. Peter Stanley of Wilbraham, Mass., was promoted to division manager of Southeastern Mass. Pete had been district manager in Springfield. And because they'd had such good luck with Dartmouth '52's they appointed Deke Emmons to take Pete's place as Springfield manager.

Both Pete and Deke have been active in the affairs of their respective communities. Pete is a member of Springfield Rotary Club and is on the board of directors of field Community Center and the Spring-field Orchestra Association. Deke, who has been living in Cohasset, Mass., is a member of the Republican Town Committee in Cohasset.

Here in New York City, the Chemical Bank New York Trust has named Bob Callander a vice president. Bob joined Chemical in 1957 and is now assigned to the National division where he serves correspondent banks and corporate clients in the Southeast. He's a commuter, living in Short Hills, N. J., with his wife and three children and has worked for Chemical since he got out of the Navy.

Also in New York; Dr. Harry Goldsmith has been appointed chief of the Gastric and Mixed Tumor Service at Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases. Dr. Harry has had a singularly rewarding career. While serving in the Army as a captain he was instructor in surgery at Soddo Medical School in Seoul, Korea. And in addition to his duties at Memorial Hospital he is Assistant Professor in Surgery at Cornell University Medical College, an Associate Director of Surgical Research at Memorial, and Assistant Clinician at Sloan-Kettering Institute. And though we all wish Dr. Goldsmith continued success let us hope that all our future associations are strictly social!

About a year ago (I think) I wrote you about all the marvelous things Bill Randall has been doing in Milwaukee. Our ex-varsity tennis player is not only a member of the executive committee of the National Clay Court Championship, he is a director of many arts groups in Milwaukee. In 1964-65 he was the first president of the just-organized Alumni Association of Milwaukee University School. And now he has been honored as the second recipient of that school's Alumnus of the Year award. This latest honor was reported to me by a modest, but proud, wife, Wendy Randall, who also reports that well be able to renew our old friendships with Bill and her in June.

June 21, 22, 23, to be exact. In Hanover. The Fayerweather dorms. Reunion '52. Be there. I intend to. (Or is that admission detrimental to the cause?)
