1960
I have just finished reading a yen informative article in the September issue of Fortune which some of you may want to pick up. The article, whose title sounds more like a new television series than something you would find in this prestigious business journal, is about the emergence of a generation of activist Lawyers, And one of The Angry Young levers 'that's the title), is our own Tony Roisman. Tony is a partner in Berlin, Roisman & Kessler, a leading public interest law firm in Washington. Only a few public-interest law firms are able to finance themselves entirely by clients' fees (most are financed by foundation grants). One of the most successful is Berlin, Roisman & Kessler, which shares a town house with Jr. Environmental Defense Fund in Washington. It represents institutional clients in the environmental, consumer, and rights fields including the National Wildlife Federation, the Consumer Federation of America and the National Organization for Women (NOW). One of the firm's projects typifies the work such public-interest law firms do. It is petitioning regulatory agencies to withhold operating licenses and rate increases from public utilities that are found to have a record of discriminating against blacks and other minorities in hiring and promotion. Those of you who knew tony at Dartmouth remember that he was on the debating team that brought the national championship to Hanover, and I'm sure he is making great use of his forensic ability on the courtroom floor. Keep up the good work, Tony.
There will be another article next month on another member of the Class who is engaged in much the same activity. In the meantime, let's turn to a recent headline on the frontpage of The Cazenovia Republican which read, "Farnsworth is Principal of High School." DavidL. Farnsworth has been named juniorsenior high school principal by the Cazenovia Board of Education, but this would be a well-kept secret if it was up to Scoops. Fortunately, his wife, Mary, sent me the clipping and a short note about their two daughters and life in Cazenovia, which is a suburb of Syracuse. The board felt Dave was the strongest of 28 candidates because of his experience in Cazenovia, and his ease of communication with the staff, students and community. Dave, how do you communicate with students? After Dartmouth, Dave received his masters from Syracuse and held several teaching jobs in other communities in New York State. Dave is currently internal vice-president of the Cazenovia Jaycees and is a lay leader of the Cazenovia Methodist Church. Got any basketball players up there, Scoops?
Speaking of recruiting, I recently attended the annual Westchester dinner honoring those men entering the freshman class from our county. This year we were priviledged to honor 19 young men who chose Dartmouth over other fine institutions. President Kemeny was the guest speaker and gave his usual great speech. This is a terrific tradition in that it gives a new student a taste of the Dartmouth spirit and unity before he leaves, and it shows him thnat he has people he can count on for a number of things if he so desires. Perhaps more clubs should institute this practice. At any rate, we no sooner left the dinner before a: organizational meeting was called to begin planning for the Class of 1976.
The number of marriages each summer is dwindling, but I still have three to report. Marsha Tulloch and Marilyn Ward Holmes were wed in June in New York, The bride is a descendant of a signer of the Declaration of Independence and was presented to society in 1962 at the Debutante Cotillion and Christmas Ball. After Dartmouth, Marshall served with the Army in Korea. He is presently with the Cidanjo Company, a private investment trust company.
On July 17, in Roxbury, Conn., Sage Dunlap became the bridge of Richard H.Chase Jr. The list of ushers included EricAnderson, Bill Gundy and Win Robinson, and both Al Stowe and BrooksWrightnour were also there to help the Chases celebrate. Dick works for American Cities Corp. in Hartford during the week and manages Timberidge Ski Resort on weekends.
This was a busy summer for SethStrickland. First, Seth and Kathy Fulenwider were wed on July 3 in Denver. Then. Seth left Smith-Lee Co. to join Mitchell-Hutchins Co. Inc. as a broker in their institutional sales department. The Stricklands are now enjoying the active life that one finds on the upper east side of Manhattan—and a life is quite different from pastoral Oneida. However, I told Seth he won't be a true New Yorker until he's been mugged and/or his apartment is broken into.
Bill Browning and his family are in Indianapolis, where Bill is principal of an independent school for grades seven and eight.
Henry McCourt Jr. has been elected an assistant treasurer—cash management for Howard Johnson Co. The McCourts live in Brockton, Mass. Bob and Teddy Pike welcomed their third child last Spring.
Evidently, other people know a good fund-raiser when they see Richard Harrison III. Dick, as you know, headed up our alumni fund drive last year, and was so successful that he has been appointed community chairman for the 1971-72 Massachusetts Bay United Fund drive in Marblehead. When Dick isn't raising money, he is director of systems and data processing for the Lahey Clinic, Boston.
It's nice to see that Jake Crouthamel's coaching debut was a success. In case you missed it, Dartmouth beat U. Mass. by a score of 31-7 in the season's opener. May that win be just the first in a long line of wins for our newest head mentor. Hope to see many of you at some of the games this year. In addition to the dinner planned after the Yale game, we are trying for a picnic location prior to the Columbia game, and the usual pregame festivities at Princeton. The executive committee has a meeting planned for the morning of the Princeton game to go over any business that has not been covered since our May meeting. See the newsletter for the latest information regarding plans for the above games.
Blair Osborn is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington. Blair, Susan, and their two children live in Bellevue, Wash., which I guess is a suburb of Seattle.
