1936

Now that spring is almost here it's time to make plans for the fall gathering of the Executive Committee and any available and interested class members at the Dartmouth-Princeton game in Hanover on October 14. We cannot be at Dexter's this year so we have made reservations at Stone End Lodge on Lake Sunapee. There will be the usual meeting of the Executive Committee on Friday night after dinner to which all members of the Class are very welcome and then after the game on Saturday, a cocktail time before dinner at Stone End—bring your own refreshments, there is no bar. If you wish to stay for dinner that night let us know. For rooms at Stone End please send a deposit of $10.00 to Kay Builter. First come, first served and any overflow will be located nearby if possible.

A newspaper clipping from the Cleveland (Ohio) Plain Dealer tells of the retirement of one of the Class' writers and newsmen. Bay Dorsey retired last October as chief editorial writer after more than 34 years "reporting, interpreting, and influencing" news events in Cleveland. Ray had been reporter, political writer, copy editor, and legislative correspondent before becoming an editorial writer. He had won a Press Club award and several Newspaper Guild Awards and in 1967 was appointed a member of the Pultizer Prize jury. After Dartmouth, Ray graduated from the Graduate School of Journalism of Columbia University with an MS in journalism. He went to work for the Plain Dealer and has been there since. He was married to Bettie Brunn in 1940 and they have a son Michael who attended Kent State U in Ohio.

Continuing on the subject of '36 writers, the January 4 column of William Buckley refers in some detail to a recent article of Professor Joseph Bishop of Yale in Commentary Magazine, principal publication of the American Jewish Committee. Mr. Buckley cites the article "Politics & ACLU" as "a devastating expose" of the American Civil Liberties Union present lack of concern for the civil liberties of anyone except their own idealogical friends. Buckley feels Joe's study documents these activities. Reprints of Joe's article are available, at 50 cents, from Commentary, 165 East 56th St., New York, N.Y. 10022.

The January 17 issue of U.S. News & World Report carried an article on the "speed-up" in education by reducing the required time in college to three rather than four years. It mentioned numerous locations where changes and experimentation are going on. It did not mention Dartmouth and the new plan, but did have a picture on page 22 of three educators involved in such experiments. One of the three was our Dr. Louis T. Beneset of the State University of New York at Albany.

Cherry Lawn School in Darien, Conn., announced last January that Ludwiff C.Zuber was appointed Director of the School as of January 1. Cherry Lawn is one of a few schools in Connecticut approved for foreign students by the U. S. State Department and the Secretary General's office. Ludwig studied and taught abroad for several years before receiving his Dartmouth degree. He also received his M.A. in Education. He started teaching at Cherry Lawn in 1939 and returned there in 1946 after several years of service in the Army. In 1943, he was married to Tanya Ostrow in New York City. They have no children.

Leonard Mead has written a nice note asking me to correct some misinformation that appeared in the January Class Notes. I stated that he and his wife Jean had returned from India. In actuality, Jean died in February 1968. Len went to Delhi, India in September 1968 to be the Ford Foundation's on-campus representative at the University of Delhi to assist in trie implementation of a multi-million dollar grant. He was recruited for this assignment by John Masland, former Dartmouth Provost. Although the original assignment was two years, Len stayed three. He not only became intimately acquainted with the University but was sent on lecture tours for the U.S. Information Service all over India, Kashmir and West Pakistan. He says it has been most embarassing to try to explain U.S. State Department policy to his Indian friends. He moved into a town house se in Winchester, Mass., last August, is hack at Tufts as a professor of psychology nd on January 29, married Janet Emerson Peck the widow of an old friend, and they plan to build a retirement home in Castine, Me., this summer.

John Sullivan, president of station WHN New York, selected runner-up as Outstanding Radio Executive by readers of THE GALLAGHER REPORT (a confi- dential letter to advertising, marketing, and media executives).
