1925

Nort Canfield and his wife have moved from the Virgin Islands to Mexico. Nort, formerly associate professor of otolarygeology at Yale, has for the past ten years been director of the Virgin Islands Health and Speech Center in St. Croix. In Mexico he will be on the teaching staff of the Institute of Human Communication which is part of the medical school of the National University of Mexico.

The Canfields, who will be living in Curenavaca, have for the past few years been enjoying a hobby of building and renovating houses. The one they have had as a home in St. Croix they have finished and put up for sale. In the Dutch island of St. Maarten 100 miles east of St. Croix, they renovated a fisherman's cottage, making it into a three unit guest house right on the beach in the Dutch town of Philipsburg.

Ken Montgomery of Chicago was married in June to Harle Garth Damman of LaJolla, Calif., in Ken's home in Northbrook, Ill. The bride had formerly lived in Winnetka and she and Ken will make their home in Northbrook and LaJolla.

Ted Geisel got a vote of thanks and a pat on the back from the Class of 1923 in connection with their 50th Reunion. George McKee contributed a drawing by Ted of "Dogs in Hanover" to the fund raising auction at the class banquet and it went to Jules Rippel for $1,000 when he outbid Joe Millar who is a vet and really wanted the picture for his office. Joe was so disappointed that Cap Palmer took the liberty of writing Ted about it and everybody was pleased and gratified when Ted generously created a new picture for Joe.

The Class should be very proud of the fact that our 1925 Scholar, Steven C. Morelli, graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude with high distinction in his major subject, physics.

The Class of 1925 Professorship was filled by the Board of Trustees at their meeting in June by the appointment of Professor W. Lawrence Gulick of the Department of Psychology. There are full details elsewhere in the Magazine.

Dick Nye and his yacht "Carina" continue to win sailing races. The latest victory to be reported to this column was in the Storm Trysail Club's 28th Block Island race in May. There was a field of 127 cruising yachts in the 200 mile round trip between Larchmont and the island outpost of the Atlantic off the Rhode Island coast.

Hap Hefler retired at the end of the last academic year from the faculty of Anne Arundel Community College in Maryland and was honored by trustees by being granted the title of Professor Emeritus.
