1918

The following is from the Dartmouth College news service: "A gift from the estate of the late Sylvester M. Morey of Great Barrington, Mass., has been made to Dartmouth College and will be used for support of the Native American Studies Program at the College.

"A graduate of Dartmouth with the Class of 1918, Mr. Morey had a long career in advertising in New York City and, at his retirement in 1968, was chairman of the board of the former Geyer, Morey, Ballard, Inc., a national agency.

"He had a life-long interest in American Indians and edited two books about them, "Can the Red Man Help the White Man?" and "Respect for Life: The Traditional Upbringing of American Indian Children." He was also the author of articles on the American Indian and in 1972 became a member of the Native American Visiting Committee of Dartmouth.

"In 1953, Mr. Morey helped found the Myrin Institute for Adult Education, Inc., and he became its chairman in 1961. Under his initiative, the institute sponsored several conferences in conjunction with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The books he edited were out- growths of these conferences.

"Mr. Morey died at Great Barrington, Oct. 26, 1975, at the age of 79." The fruits of a good man's life live after him.

In early December Peg Sargent had a fall which resulted in a fractured hip. She spent 17 days in the hospital recovering and learning how to walk after the insertion of a steel ball in the hip socket. She is now home and doing well according to Dwight's recent report.

Gene Clark has very kindly consented to write Ray Dart's obituary. It should appear in an early number.

Mildred Fish spent the holidays with her daughter and family in White Fish Bay, Wisconsin.

I am grateful to all those who have sent me news and especially to those like Herm Whit-more who have taken on good deeds for the Class.

We had a good Christmas card from Edith Wiley, Claremont, Cal. It was appreciated.

Thanks to all you Crosby Hallers. You do a great job.
