1900

The usual Christmas letter from Olivia Alloway, daughter of O. W. Foster was full of interesting family activities. Husband Bill spends much time traveling in connection with his duties as head of U of Cal. Abroad programs. He recently spent time in the Middle East and Japan initiating Centers for U of Cal. students who participate in the programs. At this moment I don't quite know what impact long hair and the sideburns he is wearing have to do with his Abroad activities. Olivia herself is busy with many useful and helpful programs as well as keeping the home fires burning while Bill is away. The children are growing up and very busy with their own particular interests.

Sidney R. Phillips, son of Julian W. Phillips, moved from Andover, Mass., to Janesville, Wis., last September and is enjoying a professorship at Wisconsin State C., Whitewater. He is pleased to have been granted permission to set up several new courses in Business and Production Management. His son Carl B. is a member of the Dartmouth class of '71 and a junior in the Thayer School Program. He and four other Thayer students spent an educationally useful semester teaching at Tuskeegee Institute, Ala., and helping to develop materials for a special program headed by Prof. Manassa at Thayer, entitled "Man and His Environment." Sidney tells an amusing story about his father and incidentally himself. The class of 1900 remembers and honors "Dago" Phillips who acquired this nickname as a result of his travels in Italy. Sidney was in one of Prof. Burton's classes and was moved to inquire if he remembered his father Julian nicknamed "Dago." The professor came to life and replied loudly and clearly "O, yes! I remember 'Dago' Phillips. He wasn't much of a student either." When Sidney recovered from his shock he decided to make more of an effort and was rewarded by receiving a 'B' from this exacting teacher. No mean feat in those days.

Warren Butterfield, son of Clarence Butterfield, has become a devotee of the Trailer. This gives him opportunity to move about the country with considerable ease and enjoyment. Much of his time is spent in Arizona which he finds an agreeable change from the rigorous climate of the New Hampshire winter months. Faith, daughter of Clarence Butterfield, now Mrs. Harold E. Wyer, resides in Lynnfield, Mass. The family also has a summer cottage at Cape Elizabeth, Me. Faith has occupied herself with many helpful and constructive activities, having been a kindergarten teacher. More recently she has become affiliated with the Jordan Marsh Company working as a Credit Interviewer and Training Director. Mr. Wyer is a Management Consultant and their daughter Judith is a speech therapist in the public school system, Hartford, Conn.

The name Brock Emery appearing in the February column should have read BrockGilson.
