1957

One of the class's leading captains of industry has to be Phil Lippincott, who has been serving as president and chief executive officer of Scott Paper Company since 1981. Effective February 1, he assumed the additional post of chairman. Phil has been with Scott since 1959, when he began as a salesman following graduation with an M.B.A. from Michigan State. Scott's sales in 1982 were $2.29 billion, slightly down from the previous year's figure, reflecting in part a pummeling from the declining Mexican peso.

Another '57 of whom we can be very proud is Chris Wren, The New York Times's bureau chief in Peking, China. He recently visited the San Francisco area, where he underwent knee surgery which will enable him to do daring things in the Himalayas in a climb later this year Dr. Mel Britton took Chris under his wing and made sure he got superb medical treatment. Some of us had the opportunity to have dinner with him and got him to translate his reunion message published in this column previously it was a wish that each of his classmates live for 10,000 years!

Another classmate who is at least an occasional contributor to The Times is Dick Burch. Normally the education marketing director for Newsweek he also serves as a Dartmouth alumni enrollment officer. Dick had a major article in The New York Times's winter education survey recently, entitled "And the One With Alumni." The article discussed the importance of the alumni interview in obtaining admission to Ivy League and other highly selective colleges.
