1915

An apology is undoubtedly due for the absence of 1915 Class Notes in the June issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. Your secretary, after enjoying the class officers' weekend, at which eleven 15ers were present, was hit on the drive back to New Jersey by a bug which landed him in the Princeton Hospital for most of May. It took another six weeks of recuperation to resume normal activities and to spend the balance of the summer at the summer home in Saratoga County, N.Y. Everything is back to normal as this column is being submitted.

An interesting bit of information coming out of Hanover is contained in a letter from Leonard Reiser to Dale Barker concerning the Leon E. Williams endowed professorships. Dean Reiser writes as follows: "Professor Hugh Morrison was holder of one chair. He retired in 1969 and Professor John Wilmerding, a distinguished professor of American Art, is now the Leon E. Williams Professor.

"Professor George Woodworth was initially appointed to the Chair at the Tuck School. Subsequently Willard Carleton was appointed to the Chair. Following his resignation in June 1974 Professor Richard Stuart Bower was named the Leon E. Williams Professor of Finance and Managerial Economics.

"Both chairs are now occupied by distinguished members of the Dartmouth Faculty and I am sure your classmates will be pleased to hear of these decisions."

It is good to know of the continuing benefits to the College which the gifts from 1915 classmates promote.

Another instance of educational assistance comes in a report from the College that two talented young people were awarded the McDonald-Smith Music Prize. The endowment for this prize was credited to 1915.
