1925

Robert Hollander, professor of European literature and comparative literature at Princeton University and a noted Dante Scholar, became the third Montgomery scholar at Dartmouth and taught a course in Italian civilization during the summer term. This program is funded from the endowment established a year ago by Ken and HarleMontgomery. Elise and Kenneth Boulding were the first to occupy Montgomery House, during the past academic year, and Elise is remaining at the College as a full professor of sociology and is becoming chairman of that department this fall.

Jon H. Appleton, professor of music at the College, has been named by the trustees as the second holder of the Ted and Helen Geisel Third Century Professorship. He succeeds Peter A. Bien, professor of English, who held it for the past five years.

The town of Frankfort, Mich., benefited from a substantial gift of land from Bob Borwell, making possible this past summer the dedication of the Borwell Yacht Basin-Frankfort Municipal Marina. Later in the summer, Naomi and Bob left their Michigan farm to cruise to Alaska on the ship Royal Viking Sea.

Barrett Lyons visited Hanover in June to participate in the four-day Hanover Holiday program, which he recommends, and found three other members of the class there — LineDavis, Frank Kennedy, and Phil O'Connell. Barrett was planning another trip this fall from East Lansing, Mich., to Scandinavia.

Bill Pugh's grandson, Richard C. Pugh, graduated in June.

Dutch Learnard lost his wife last summer. He and Mabel, an accomplished musician, had been married 53 years.

The sympathy of all of us goes to the Hollenbecks, the Learnards, and to George Cassells-Smith, whose wife Evelyn died early in the summer after suffering a heart attack on the golf course.
