1914

Often we start these notes with special congratulations to those of us whose birthdays fall in the current month. For this lovely month of June we go first to Wilkinsburg, Pa., to salute Professor Erie Fairfield who was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on June 14. Then as though by satellite we look in on Harold Morse who, though now in Ukiah, Calif., was born in Bradfield, Vt., on June 7, making him the elder by just over one year.

No one can forget that though taken from us only a short tioe ago, we would have included in June birthdays the names of Bill Breslin, HarryCook, Edgar Elkins, Paul Howe, and Win Snow. We salute their memories in deep respect and love.

Summer, now close upon us, finds many of you busy with plans for new gardens, weddings, and travel and understandably too busy for letter writing, but don't forget to visit us if you are by this way, and send a postcard wherever you are.

This column closes until fall but life goes on and is full of interest. Right now as I write, class officers from oldest to youngest are in Hanover for their annual May weekend forum as guests of the College. It was from this meeting that I reported to you a year ago the final decision of the College Trustees to go coed. I must miss this meeting but I'll be in Hanover in June for the graduation of my grandson Gordon Sleeper III. May his class carry on as ours has.

In a quick dip into the past we find WallyDrake's class notes of June 1950 reporting thatEnders Voorhees, then chairman of the finance committee of U.S. Steel Corporation, was guest lecturer in Nate Burleigh's ('11) Tuck School class; that Sam Sheldon had had dinner with PaulLoudon in St. Paul at the annual Dartmouth dinner; and that Dick White was leaving his home in Lynn, Mass., for a four-day trip to the Shriners convention in Los Angeles.
