1929
The Worcester papers have been full of Dartmouth news this week as the Holy Cross Crusaders, after out-jousting John Harvard a week ago prepare to invade Indian territory evading the ambush set for them in the green pastures of the Northland. They look for a purple twilight to guide their return trip, but, having left their band at home, the victory tocsin will be missing in the night air.
The Class Notes this month are thinner than last, when the summer's accumulation overflowed the column. We're looking for the answers on the back of Jack Hubbard's bills to feed our bag to tide us over the Price-Wage-News freeze.
A letter from Bob Lyle in Tyler, Texas, with a resume of the Lyle family activities, which I quote in full:
"After ten years as Headmaster of the Hockaday School in Dallas I 'retired' on June 30. Beginning July 1, I became Headmaster of St. Andrew's Episcopal Day School here in Tyler, Texas.
"St. Andrew's begins with 4-year-old kindergardeners and continues through the sixth grade. Founded in 1960 the school is coeducational, about equally divided between boys and girls. We have a good faculty and student body, and an enrollment of 210.
"July and August were very busy months. However, the hard work seems to be paying off, for we have had a fine first week and the indications are that we will have a good school year.
"Tyler, a city of about 60,000 is located midway between Dallas and Shreveport, La. For a city its size it has many cultural advantages: theatre, fine arts museum, planetarium, symphony, three institutions of higher learning, to name but a few.
"Our son, Rob, is a sophomore at Haverford College, and our daughter, Cathy, is a junior at Washington College Academy, a coeducational day and boarding school located near Johnson City, Tennessee.
"If you or any of the class get this way, do come to Tyler. Our address is 2726 Tanglewood Drive, Tyler, Texas 75701 and the latchstring is out."
We spent a couple of August weeks at Annisquam on Cape Ann this summer. Called on Dick Clark and caught him at the office just returned from California the night before. We visited Lucy and him in their Eastern Point house overlooking Gloucester Harbor and Ten Pound Islandconsideration for its purchase from Indians—without capital gains tax. Lucy, looking young and attractive as ever, filled us in on the family. Daughter Ann is married to Warren Mansur and living in Gloucester with their two children, Holly, 9 and Carol, 7. Ann helps her father in the office, specializing in difficult accounts. Son Charles is teaching in Vermont; and Paul was at Tanglewood in Lenox during summer in charge of public relations.
A letter from Hank Stein reports the arrival of a granddaughter Jill Emilie in Bangkok, Thailand. She has a brother Paul, aged 3, and that brings the total of Hank and Fay's grandchildren to five. The Steins spent a week at the Woodstock Inn during the summer, and are contemplating a trip to Bangkok to visit their daughter Constance and her family.
A letter from Trunkie Brittan reminded your secretary that time was running out on Shady Lawn reservations. What a fine reunion chairman who sleeps with one eye open!
A news release from the D. C. Information Service contains an interesting and stimulating resume of an address by distinguished philosopher" Dr. Maurice Mandelbaum, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University and chairman of the board of officers of the American Philosophical Association. Maurice spent the summer in Hanover working and gave the principal address at the closing dinner of Dartmouth's 8th Alumni College. He challenged the notion currently held by some young people that absolute individual freedom can be found by dropping out of society and the system. He described this quest for freedom from all institutional restraint as not only arrant nonsense but morally wrong. To this we say "Amen."
