Three Staff Members Reach Retirement

It is manifestly unusual for anyone to reach a span of 46 years of continuous service to the College, but when that service has been rendered at the active frontier of contact between the institution and its student clients, as in the case of Assistant Registrar Clara M. Loring, a very special note of gratitude and appreciation is in order on her retirement.

Miss Loring graduated from Hanover High School in 1926, and almost immediately became involved with the Registrar's Office on an occasional basis, becoming a full-time employee in 1927. Over the years no one without exception has played so vital a role in the continuity and smooth day-to-day operation of the Registrars Office as Miss Loring. Her service to the College has been marked by tact, discretion, loyalty, and devotion of the highest order, and she will be sorely missed. Doubtless the responsibilities she shouldered will be assumed by others, though at this time it is difficult to conceive how this will be possible.

Miss Loring plans to continue in her Norwich home which she shares with her mother. Her numerous friends and admirers wish her many happy years of retirement, and look forward with satisfaction to her continued presence on the Dartmouth scene.

Registrar Emeritus

Two librarians from opposite ends of Tuck Mall retired in June, each after six years' service to Dartmouth. They are Cornelius B. Allen, librarian at the Tuck School, and Peter R. Anstruther, a selection officer at Baker Library.

A 1931 graduate of New York University in business administration, Mr. Allen later returned to his alma mater for a bachelor's degree in history and a master's degree in American history.

He came to the Tuck School in 1967 with almost 30 years' experience in business school libraries: as a reference librarian at NYU's undergraduate School of Commerce from 1938 to 1948; as librarian there from 1949 to 1956; and as librarian at the NYU Graduate School of Business from 1957 to 1967.

Mr. Anstruther graduated from Princeton in political science in 1931. For 20 years he was a manager for the development of estates in Bermuda, Barbados, and Long Island. In 1954 he founded and became technical director for Newbold Ltd. in Crawley, Sussex, England. Four years later he became president of Newbold American Corporation, a firm providing information about building techniques.

Mr. Anstruther was on the editorial staff of the Encyclopaedia Americana from 1960 to 1964. In 1965, after earning a master's degree in library science from Columbia, he became social sciences librarian at the University of Hawaii.
