1922

Few classes, if any, can have had more representatives at a Dartmouth Alumni Council meeting than '22 had on December 2—4, 1982.

Killy and Helen Kilmarx were at the Friday night banquet to see Robert D. Kilmarx '50 receive the Dartmouth Alumni Award. Likewise, Peter Kilmarx, a Dartmouth senior, was there with his parents, Robert and Mary (Neidlinger) Kilmarx. As excerpts from the award citation indicate, Robert was honored for many and various reasons. In June 1983 he completed a ten-year term as a charter trustee of the College. In undergraduate years he was a Rufus Choate scholar, chairman of the Student Council, and varsity football manager, just as his father was in 1921-22. Subsequently, Robert received his law degree at Harvard and served two years in the Navy before joining the Boston law firm of Sherburne, Powers and Needham, of which he became a partner in 1961. Four years later he joined the Industrial National Bank of Rhode Island as a vice president. He later became executive vice president and a director of the bank. In 1975 he returned to his earlier vocation, the law, and in 1978 he was a founding partner of his present Providence affiliation Davis, Jenckes and Kilmarx. He also has served or is serving as a trustee or director of 14 civic, educational, and business organizations. The class of 1922 delights in adding its congratulations and its gratitude to Robert, his wife Mary, their three children, and, certainly not the least, our own Killy Kilmarx.

And the Alumni Award to Bob Kilmarx becomes even more distinctive when it is noted that his father, our '22 classmate, Killy, also received the Alumni Award in 1966, and Bob's father-in-law, Dartmouth's late Dean Lloyd K. Neidlinger, received the award in 1961. They all exemplify most distinguished service and love for Dartmouth.

Yet there was even more of 1922 at this 145 th megting of the Alumni Council. The faculty representative on the council is none other than the son of our Warren Daniell, Professor Jere R. Daniell II '55, chairman of the History Department.

And the youngest graduate alumna on the council is Elizabeth Fauver Stueber '77, from Shaker Heights, Ohio, and granddaughter of our King and Annie Fauver. As the oldest alumnus on the council, Len Morrissey tried to have his picture taken with Elizabeth, but no photographers were following him around.

The oldest member is the tenth Twoter to serve on the council. The others have been: Bob Booth, Red Boyd, Bill Bullen, Jack Dodd, Carroll Dwight, Gene Hotchkiss, Killy Kilmarx, Wally Mountcastle, and Clif Watson. It is most appreciated by and reassuring to your scribe that even without any preliminary physiological or psychological tests, his term is scheduled to run until June 1985.

Does '22 have a grandchild in Dartmouth's freshman class of 1986? That was a question in these notes recently. Well, the answer is emphatically yes. Linda Rhines, age 17, from Plymouth, N.H., daughter of Robert C. Rhines '60, Thayer '61, and his wife Constance (Miner) is 1922's representative. That distinction comes to her as the granddaughter of our Stan and Catherine Miner. Now you'll know who Linda is when you see her name in newspapers as a member of the highly renowned Dartmouth women's basketball squad.

Sorrowfully, it is reported that Amos Lyford has left the class. An obituary will follow.

Merely in case you wondered, Dartmouth now has 38,000 alumni and 2,000 alumnae. Those under age 30 number 10,800; those over age 60 total 8,800. The number over age 80 apparently defies stabilized computation. The class of 1922, however, does have 145 members and, with one possible but quite uncertain exception, they are all age 80 or plus. And, incidentally, so far on the Dartmouth bequest program, 1922 has had 17 matured bequests and has 20 life income trusts. Just thought you'd like to know.
