A note from Jack Andrews says that after spending the summer at their summer home in Vermont, he and Anne are in Springfield, Mass., for a while, catching Up on things at home there and doing some local skiing until February when they head for the "tall ones" in Colorado.

Les Eaton reports that he is not doing much this winter, "just puttering, waiting for spring to see how my bulbs, shrubs etc., fared during the winter."

In addition to running the business office at the college together, Eula teaches piano there and at Fleming, Kentucky, and Evan will teach two math courses at the college this spring.

Carl and Betty Lindenmeyr's card was a lovely drawing by Betty of the main hall and stairway of their pre-Revolutionary home at Paramus, N.

Our emeritus Dartmouth professor, MikeChoukas, who retired in 1967, has been named provost of Pierce College in Athens, Greece. Mike, who was born on the island of Samos, was invited to join the Pierce faculty in the fall of 1969, and most recently had been serving as director of liberal studies. As Provost he will now concern himself with a study and revamping of the curriculum and staff, will coordinate the programs in Hellenic studies, and will undertake to increase the number of American faculty personnel.

As Professor of Sociology at Dartmouth. Mike specialized in the study of propaganda, and always maintained close ties with his native Greece. He once lived with the monks at Mt. Athos and wrote the book Black Angels of Athos." His son, Michael '51, is headmaster of Vermont Academy.

Congratulations are due Doc Milliken who has been elected President for 1972 of the Maryland State Dental Association and Delegate for three more years to the American Dental Association.

And congratulations are in order for Ken Yeaton who last fall was honored with the Realtor-of-the-Year award by the Hunterdon County (N. J.) Board of Realtors.

Curt Wright was amused and a bit mystified lately when an automobile dealer and the manufacturer of the dealer's care began addressing him as "Rev. C. Wright so he persuaded a sleuth at the dealer's to look into the matter. The sleuth examined the IBM card in question and came to the conclusion that since the "Rev." and Dr. designations were adjoining, and since the title "Dr." has somehow clung to Curt ever since his teaching days, some clerk somewhere along the line simply goofed. Curt says that he explained to a group of momentarily restive Divinity School students to whom he was lecturing that tn whole affair should be known as "instant ordination." However, computers being what they are, Curt might as well become resigned to his new designation as not only instant but also eternal. He Relieves: fortunately, that "whatever the penalty for falsely impersonating a clergyman," he is probably in the clear.

While there undoubtedly has been an will continue to be some sincere sousearching among us in regard to Trustees' decision that Dartmouth should become coeducational and should move onto a four-term year, it is to be hoped that all Dartmouth men will be able, whether approving that decision or not, to rise above personal feeling and in gratitude for A that the College has given us continue our loyalty unswerving.
