1945

I'm afraid that the summer passed all too quickly, but with it came a greater amount of news than usually arrives during the fall, winter, and spring months of the year. Please keep it coming this year so that our class notes can be well-represented each month.

Lisle C. Carter Jr., a former assistant secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and currently chancellor of the Atlanta University Center, has been named the first president of the University of the District of Columbia. Lisle was chief counsel for the National Urban League before coming to Washington in 1961 to serve in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. He later was a professor of public policy and a vice president at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. The new D.C. University is being formed by a merger of the city's three public colleges whose programs and facilities differ substantially. The three colleges - Federal City College, Washington Technical Institute, and D.C. Teachers College - had about 13,000 students last year. About 60 per cent of them were part-time students.

Jerome L. Weinstein, a certified public ac- countant and the partner-in-charge of the New Haven office of Haskins and Sells, has been named to the board of directors of the Hospital of St. Raphael Foundation, Inc. Jerry graduated from Dartmouth in 1947 after being interrupted by the U.S. Army for three and a half years and went on to receive his M.B.A. from Columbia in 1949. A past governor of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, he is vice chairman and treasurer of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce, a board member of the Walter Camp Football Foundation, the New Haven Gridiron Club, the Quinnipiack Club, and the Racebrook and Woodbridge Country Clubs. He lives in Woodbridge with his wife Reah and daughters Karen, Lori, and Sue. The hospital of St. Raphael Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit, tax-exempt charitable organization dedicated to fostering philanthropic support for St. Raphael's.

Thanks to Don Cole who forwarded an item from Medical World News. Dr. Fred Plum, chairman of neurology at Cornell University Medical College,, is embarking on a three-year study of brain degeneration in aging people (take note, all you old goats!). Afflictions ranging from the simple inability to remember names to brain disorders that lead to dementias or irreversible deterioration will be investigated by old Fred. He sees memory and cognitive disorders as "a major public health problem in our aging population." Some 22 million Americans are now 65 and over, and in the next 25 years the figure is expected to surpass 30 million. It might be a good idea to ask Steve Hull to provide name tags for our 35th reunion if we can remember to do so!

Moe Frye, who was formerly head of the New England regional office of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, is now with the real estate firm of R. M. Bradley working in their commercial division where he deals with office buildings, multi-family dwellings, appraisal work, and property management. He is currently chairman of the United Fund Campaign for Beacon Hill where he resides with his wife Jane and daughter Alison. JohnMac Donald, owner of Yarmouth Boatyard down Maine, came to Boston late in the summer to attend a Red Sox double-header with Moe. However, torrential rains delayed the game and they decided to give up on it. It probably took a lot of strong medicine to ward off any colds that might have ensued. A wise precaution!
