These notes are being written on our return home from our freshman term at D’s Seventh Alumni College. It was an exhilarating and enjoyable experience as we sat under tutelage of D. factotums’ expertise in science, history, math, computeristics, and Green Mountain State humor—shared with ’29ers Bartos, Blacks, Fishers, Smalls, and culture-seeking alumni and alumnae from the upper and lower classes. We renewed our youth overlooking the Connecticut River and sunset from the Chinlund’s scenic porch; the woodland brook far below JanetWoodbridge’s Quechee house, pertly perched atop the hill; and the Sunday afternoon at the Blacks in their Meadow Lane house exquisitely decorated and furnished. We missed the Marxes, Monahans, and Dickeys who were out of town but not forgotten.

Robert Carr retired in June after a distinguished career as Oberlin president for a decade, and 28 years of college teaching at Oklahoma and Dartmouth, where he held the Parker Professorship of Law and Political Science. He received his sixth honorary degree from Denison U. on June 8. We were pleased to learn that Bob and Olive have retired to Marion, Mass., and wish them health and happiness. AllanFinlay has been appointed senior vice president of Scudder, Stevens, & Clark, investment counsel, for whom he has worked since 1929. He lives in Wayland, Mass., is a corporation member and finance committee chairman of Simmons College, chairman of Mass. State Board of Education, and president of Broomstones, Inc. Curling Club. He and Lucy have four children and six grandchildren.

John Clements of Winnetka, 111., has been elected senior vice president, of Marsh & McLennan, international insurance brok- ers, whom he joined in 1929. Bill Morgan writes that the Morgans had a fine tour of Southwest England, Somerset, Cornwall, Hampshire, visiting WW2 areas of service and “managed to come through alive despite driving on left side of road.” George Case tried to quit the chairman’s post of Lamson & Sessions Cos., but the directors of that “screws, bolts, nuts, and rivets” concern refused to fill the vacancy and persuaded George to continue as director and executive committee member of this famous Cleveland company.

At the annual meeting or tne American Society of Corporate Secretaries in June, Herb Ball was elect- ed president the cur- rent year. Herb is vice president, genera] council, and secretary of the Johns-Manville Corp., which he joined in 1951 after a legal career, and he has been secretary since 1952. The national society he now heads has members trom over 1400 national corpora- tions. Jack Gunther was one of its founders.

Dan Marx retired in June after 29 years of distinquished teaching in the Economics Department in a career which included chairing that department as well as that of International Relations. He was WW2 consultant to Export Control Administrative & War Shipping Administration, special assistant to Averill Harriman in Economic Cooperation Administration in Paris, a Guggenheim Fellow at Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Studies, and on the staff of President Eisenhower’s Council of Economic Advisors.
