1916

The suggestion planted in these notes that we have a Cane Club has blossomed into a club of 14. The following have joined (and the list is still open for more): Hugo Gumbart, Dave Shumway, Mildred (Earl) Cranston, Ethel reporting of Les Campbell's, Fletch Andrews, Gus Emery, Roy Burghardt, Dan Lindsley, Marion (Oliver) Barr, Dick Parkhurst, May (Ken) Tucker, Chan White, Eve Parker, and Ruth reporting on Gran Fuller's. No matter how you look at it, a cane is indispensable for one's dignity, for one's security against falling, and for the bearer's feeling of personal importance.

A letter from Fletch Andrews tells that he still keeps his hand in at legal work (personal, not professional) by studying the recent radically-changed laws on federal estate and gift taxes. He adds that he expects to be with his family in Bermuda for Thanksgiving and in Delray Beach, Fla., for winter months.

Josh Dunbar has become 1916's roving reporter in New York by sending New York Times clippings that have any mention of Dartmouth. His clippings about the latest baseball season are enjoyed by your secretary and Bill Nash.

This was a "granddaughter season" at Dartmouth for 1916 with Dick and Kay Parkhurst's Katherine Sykes, Mary (Ken) Ross's Mary Fairbanks, and Kay (Jack) English's Linda Bean.

George Stoddard '18 visits with the student builders of Dartmouth's new StoddardCabin, erected this summer on Loomis Brook west of Dead Diamond River in the SecondCollege Grant, 27,000 acres of forest in northeast New Hampshire. The cabin,made possible by a fund established by Stoddard and his wife Pat, will comfortablyaccommodate ten undergraduates interested in experiencing the remote out-of-doors.
