1943

Because of the extensive article in this month's ALUMNI MAGAZINE, we have been asked to hold down the length of our notes. This is a God-send in that my "new information" file is about empty.

As starters, Tom Schroth will be editor and director of a new organization called Center for Political Research, based here in Washington. It is a brand new concept and will specialize in contract research, as well as publish a magazine and hard-cover books. Congressional Quarterly's loss is the Center's gain.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Jack Puelicher, who is president of Marshall and Ilsley Bank in Milwaukee, has been elected to the board of directors of W. R. Grace & Company. Jack left Dartmouth at the end of his sophomore year and subsequently received degrees from the University of Wisconsin and Harvard Business School. A recent note from him indicates that he is anxious to hear from some of his old college friends. He can be reached at 8550 North Green Bay Court, Milwaukee, Wis 53209 where he lives with his wife Jamie and their two daughters.

As a final item, Father Jim MaUey S.J. is still in mission work in Brazil (his address is Rua Aristides Novis, 101 [Federacao], Salvador da Bahia, Brasil). He was visiting in Boston in January and writes (in part) as follows: "Our own little Mission has humped along during the past year with a good chare of growing pains but a happy resolution of some of the problems which have been hanging fire for a long time we're still in the Alagados — our first work and still our only team project. There we certainly helped in lending our voices for the improvements which took place; weve heen stalled in the more usual parochial part of the program by a delay in completion of our little center. Our original finality was to prepare the area through several years of presence and work to be assumed by a Brazilian 'vigaric.'

"It's becoming almost certain that there will be no Brazilian priests to assume anySing unless there is a revolution in vocation the role of permanent fixtures, so we're giving most of our planning effort now to how we can prepare the area to sustain its Catholic identity and grow in its Christian reality without the aid of priests, or perhaps haps with priestly visits once a week. It will certainly; be a very different identity and reality it could be a lot more authentic and a lot more vital than anything we've known to date An optimum solution would be the ordination of many married-worker priests or perhaps many married deacons; but this seems a long way off."

To close this month, we have four requests: (1) Remember the Alumni Fund; (2) Remember yours truly for news; (3) Remember the Third Century Fund and (4) Send photos for the reunion supplement or "there ain't gonna be one."
