1916

The Class has suffered a great loss in the death of Burt Lowe, our class agent for the past 13 years. He had such a contagious enthusiasm and loyalty for Dartmouth that when he wrote to us or phoned us we responded in kind. The Class sends its sympathy to Sara, to his daughter Betty Kay Miller and to his son Burton. A memorial will appear in a coming issue.

To carry on the work for Burt Lowe for the 1978 Alumni Fund, the Class has another chemist (Burt was a chemistry major), DanDinsmoor, as our new class agent. Dan is one of those fortunate 16ers who winter in California and summer in New Hampshire.

Dick Parkhurst, our most prodigious reader and collector of historical items about the Class has just added archaeologist to his attainments. One day when Dick was in Hanover looking up his grandson who worked for the Buildings and Grounds Department, he spotted on the wall of the office building a concrete block with the inscription "A.D. 1916." Thus unknowingly we left our mark in Hanover.

Word of the death of J. Watt Wooldridge September 8 in Sioux City, lowa, came from his grandson. Watt was with us 1912-13, living in North Fayerweather, which had a group of "live wires" from Iowa: Larry Davidson '16, Watt Wooldridge '16, and George Hutchins '15, all from Sioux City, and Beardsley Ruml '15 from Cedar Rapids. Our sympathy goes to his son Elliott. A memorial will be printed in a coming issue.
