1929

The fall reunion on Oct 10 and 11 was largely attended and most enjoyable. The foliage was brilliant, Saturday's weather delightful, and the Big Green's dedermatization of the Tiger was most skillfully consummated.

The Class Executive Committee met in the morning and found class affairs to be in good shape. One result is the release of 40-year statistics by Duke Barto. Entering Members, 1925-638; graduates, 1929-475; non-graduates 163; 1969, living graduates 386; living non-graduates-126 (approx). Over 100 members of the '29 family husbands, wives, children and grandchildren attended the dinner in Alumni Hall, Saturday night.

A letter from Petey Foster informed us that she and Frank were busy packing to move to Hanover after Frank's October retirement. They will live at 12 Conant Road (named for Harvard's Prexy emeritus?) Hanover, after a vacation in Maine. Frank will be associated with Dartmouth Medical School—Leahy's loss and Blackman's gain. Bob Carr writes from Washington that he will be directing a two-year study project on the academic profession for the American Council of Education. He expects the study will result in a book on college professors— their present problems and future prospects. It should be a best seller, Bob, if you can get the backward looking Agnew to write the foreward and put his name in the Index.

Bob Harris, Oak Park's schoolboy Red Grange of the West, has finally been heard from in New Hope, Penn. He has been appointed to the Solebury Township Board of Supervisors. He retired a year ago as chief executive of Crown Cork & Seal Co., a Philadelphia engineering research firm. We sat next to Bob and Eva Walsh at the Harvard game last Saturday. Bob retired from Monsanto Chemical Company two years ago. They are living in Woburn and have a married son and daughter living in Burlington and Billerica, Mass., and have seven grandchildren. We were talking about Bob Harris, the two were among 29's best ball players.

Bill and Eleanor Coles were in Hanover for the Princeton game, the not-so-Young Man of Caracas. They came up to open their new house on Lake Sunapee to which we hope they will be frequent visitors. We sat next to the Fishers at dinner and heard the story of their Fairlee dusk visitor—a real live bull moose. Quick thinking, Sara rushed out with camera in hand and completed a lateral pass to Al in time to snap the visitor's picture. We have been promised a print for the MAGAZINE if the hard hatted gentleman is photogenic.

Word has come in from the Alumni Records office of the death of William D. Mooney of Cleveland, Ohio, on Oct 7 after a long illness. It came from his sister, Mrs. Speno in Ithaca.
