1914

Birds migrate, tides rise and fall, so with the seasons do many Fourteeners both male and distaff take to the highways rolling up mileage that neither your secretary nor all the computers in Hanover can hope to estimate.

As a shot in the dark Jim Hanley is named champion hither and yonner for 1970 for less extraordinary record. Any challengers?

Bill Breslin reports unscheduled travel to a new address. It seems that some weeks before the Penn game Bill, in his own home while chasing a dog, fell fracturing his hip. Now sadder and wiser but doubtless happy he is convalescing at the home of his daughter at 336 Huntley Road, Upper Darby, Pa. 19082.

In the days we studied economics under Professor George Ray Wicker little did we dream that one of our number would one day do us all honor by becoming chief financial officer of one of the world's greatest organizations and that forums of both business and government would seek his counsel on matters of vital economic importance.

From his experience Enders M. Voorhees has written a book entitled "Financial Policy in a Changing World" destined in my opinion to become an outstanding text book wherever economics is taught or business studied.

From Edgar Elkins, our own chief financial officer, comes an invitation to all of us to help in the replenishing of our 1914 Alumni Memorial Book Fund. Checks should be sent to him but drawn to Dartmouth College.

Last summer and fall were not the happiest months for Charlie and BuffBatchelder for though as always they moved from Florida to their home on Cape Cod most of July was given to Charlie's visits to the doctor's offices and all of August and September to his hospitalization in Boston for the removal of a malignant tumor. More weeks of x-ray therapy permitted return to Florida in late November. Latest word from Buff in December reports that Charlie seems well and happy in Florida's warmth and sunshine. What good news that is!

To all who have birthdays in February your secretary sends warm greetings from this spot where we have our own North Pole and where as of this last day of the old year our snow fall has passed 59½ inches, where it has already registered 20 degrees below and where from half the roofs in town icicles hang some six feet long.

Sadly we conclude the stories of 1970 with news of the death on November 27 of Charles Newton Crandall.
