1925

Jonathan Severansky '84, the current holder of the Class of 1925 Scholarship at Dartmouth, has now completed almost two years of his college course and has a high B-plus cumulative grade point average. He has narrowed his choice of majors down to either bio-chemistry or English. Jon also finds time to be active in the College's "Ultimate Frisbee Club," to play in the wind ensemble, and to be an active fraternity member. He also holds a part-time job in the chemistry department to help pay for his education.

Larry Bankart of Needham and Harwich, Mass., had a heart by-pass operation this spring at Massachusetts General Hospital. It was planned ahead and went smoothly. After resting at home for a time he expects to be ready for the Cape this summer. Larry spends a lot of time working in the interests of the Belmont Hill School and tries to steer good candidates to Dartmouth.

Dick Colton's wife Howell fell and broke her hip and went to the Highland Hospital in Asheville, N.C., for rehabilitation. They still plan to leave Clearwater for a summer stay in Stowe, Vt., and then to take a September trip of three weeks Olson's imperial Vienna and the grand tour of Europe.

Jane Kilby, who lives in Kingston, R.I., "shipped out with the Dartmouth alumni on the Sea Cloud, the beautiful four-masted squarerigger. We sailed the Caribbean, visiting several islands. No '25ers were on board, most were younger, but there was one '19er widow. A beautiful experience, as we used the 28 sails at every opportunity. Oddly, no one could remember a Dartmouth song!"

And Jane Perkins writes: "Still feel fine since my heart attack two years ago. Weight loss has helped. Fortunately for us in La Jolla no big storms hit our shores this past year. My family are all well traveling, finishing college, working, and happy. I was honored by the International Biographical Centre, Cambridge, England, for World's Who's Who for Women. May go to England this May to visit friends. My best to all those Dartmouth friends I've met and enjoyed."

From Rochester, N. Y., Betty Crawford reports, "I'm delighted to be able to tell you that my granddaughter Betsy, daughter of James W. Crawford 59, received early acceptance for Dartmouth. Three cheers for three generations!"

Dick Richards of South Bend, Ind., and Clearwater was one of those present on March 15 when the St. Petersburg Dartmouth Club met at the Clearwater Country Club. So far as we know he was the only one to uphold the honor of 1925 at this event.

Max Black, president of the International Institute of Philosophy and only the second American to hold that office, held a six-week residency at the College this spring as a Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Fellow. He is the Susan Linn Sage Professor of Philosophy and Humane Letters Emeritus, at Cornell University. Besides delivering a public lecture, Black was scheduled to meet with students in a variety of courses.

Mott Garlock, our treasurer, returned as usual this spring from Sarasota to Suffield, Conn., and reports that he sent out 222 dues statements last fall and received payment from 183 '2sers. This is over 80 per cent, and in addition to paying for our group subscription to this magazine it keeps our modest bank balance ample for our needs. Mott and Bob Reynolds are among those who plan to attend the 55 th reunion at the Harvard Business School this year.
