1922

Does '22 have a grandchild among the 1,053 students from 8,320 applicants in the freshman class of 1986? If so, he or she has not surfaced yet, but the search continues. The Valley News, another "Vox Clamantis In Deserto," says the class has 1.3 boys to every girl, and, if your algebra is not rust-ridden, that means 595 boys and 458 girls. Don't know if any state suffers the ignominy of zero representation in the class, but 18 foreign countries have contributed. The number of students requiring financial assistance is fairly constant about half the class is expected to receive need-based financial aid. At the September convocation starting the College's 213th year, Undergraduate Council President Robert M. Stein '83 (of Walnut Creek, Calif.) was one of the speakers welcoming the freshmen. In part he said, "Dartmouth is more than a temporary place of residence. You will find that you have become a member of the Dartmouth family, and it will be a part of you for the rest of your life." There must be a Twoter progeny, a he or a she, somewhere in the class of 1986.

As another echo from our 60th reunion merely to keep the record accurate here are the present members of the class of 1922 executive committee: Ray Atwood, Bill Bullen, Haskell Cohn, Warren Daniell, Jack Dodd, Carroll Dwight, Harley Greenwood, Ike Miller, Stan Miner, Len Morrissey, Spenny Smith, Dick Stetson, and Charlie Throop. Anything about the class that you don't like, for example, especially the class notes as written by your highly remunerated secretary, can be adjudicated by the executive committee. All your life you've made other people work for you. Don't let up now.

Stan Miner has forwarded a delightful book entitled Outside My Window, written by Betty Horan and dedicated "in memoriam" to our distinguished classmate, Francis H. Horan. Betty has summered for many years in Falls Village in picturesque Litchfield County, Conn. Most of the 26 charming essays in the book pertain to birds and small animals in these Berkshire Hills, though a few articles come from Betty's nature observations during Florida winters. Each essay has an illustration by Arlington M. Yutzler of West Cornwall, Conn. The attractiveness of the paperback, however, is mainly the charm of Betty's graceful prose, which brings the little creatures she writes about directly into window-sill affection. But if one does not get delightful prose from the president of the class of 1928 at Vassar; a graduate of Yale Law School; a member of the New York bar; the mother of two daughters one a Vassar, the other a Smith, alumna, and two Dartmouth sons, where does one look? Outsidemy Window should appeal equally to city people and country folk, adolescents and octogenarians. It can be ordered from Margaret Cooley, West Cornwall, Conn. 06796.

It is sorrowful to report that Arthur Stewart has left us. An obituary will follow.

Dartmouth Night on the eve of the Harvard game brought many people students, friends, parents, and even some envious Harvard affiliates to the campus. The torchlight parade with eight bands, 64 classes, and Myles Lane '28 as grand marshall was a rousing march. Warren and Jeanne Daniell and Len Morrissey acknowledged the cheers for 1922. The speeches, the Glee Club, the College band in front of Dartmouth Hall, and the huge bonfire in the center of the campus all set the stage for the splendid 14-12 victory the next afternoon. One Harvard friend twitted, "Impres- sive, but quite different from Harvard." Vive la difference; gratefully Hanover is not Harvard Square.
