1951

By the time you read this, spring will have arrived, following a winter that could not happen. Virtually no snow has fallen the entire season in fact, there was ten times more snow in Norfolk, Va., than in Boston, Mass. Now I know the whole world is topsyturvy.

Word from California tells us that Mike Heyman has been appointed chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley. Following graduation Mike attended Yale Law School. He was chief law clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren before joining the Berkeley faculty in 1959. During the sixties' Free Speech Movement, Mike was head of a faculty committee to deal with student unrest Vice chancellor since 1974, Mike inherited the sensitive task of bringing the campus into compliance with federal law regarding hiring and promotion of women and minorities. A campus administration source said that Heyman generally gets high marks in all quarters of the campus community. Mike said he expects his biggest challenge will be to maintain financial stability, particularly if the voters approve Proposition 9, which would cut state income taxes in half. He is head of the committee that is preparing a long-range plan for the campus. University of California President David S. Saxon, who recommended Heyman's appointment, said, "Mike Heyman has impressive academic and administrative leadership experience at Berkeley, is a dedicated teacher and scholar, and has an extensive record of public and professional service." Mike has chaired the City of Berkeley's Human Relatfons and Welfare Commission and arbitrated disputes between Alaskan Indian tribes and oil companies. He and his wife Therese, who is curator of photography at the Oakland Museum, have two sons, and they live in Berkeley.

Ben Sykes reports that he visits Dartmouth and Middlebury often. "Son Bernard III is class of 1981 at Dartmouth and Deborah is Middlebury '82.

Back in 1965, Dwight Allison resigned as a partner from the old-line Boston law firm of Goodwin, Proctor, and Hoar and went into the investment business. Now, 14 years later, he is chief executive officer of Boston Company, an old-line investment company. A few months back, Dwight was the subject of a very complimentary article in the Wall Street Journal. The focus of the article was the changes Dwight has and was making with his company moving into some new areas of investment, but with a certain respectful attachment to the cautious past. Dwight stated that "successful money anagement comes from close monitoring of Economic cycles. For example, Boston Company started pulling some of its pension fund money out of the stock market in November 1976 when, its analyses showed, the market was entering a time period when any significant market decline, of the type experienced over the st month, could be the first state of a bear market We resist the characterization of guessing the stock market. . . . What we keep in mind is that the law of the business cycle hasn't been repealed." Something we should all keep in mind during these unusual times.
