1922

Three sentences from a June letter from Henry Ezra Eberhardt 111, director, Dartmouth Alumni Fund, to Franklin Smith, head agent, Famous Class of 1922, will warm the hearts of everyone in the '22 clan: "Dear Spenny: Dartmouth Alumni Fund year-out giving records are made to be broken, and I am so pleased to be able to. congratulate you, your class agents, and 1984 Fund contributors for breaking the 62nd-year-out record of $41,502. Through May 24 your total for the 1984 70th-Anniversary Fund was $43,694 from 90 donors . . . .For your willingness to serve Dartmouth as a head agent we are most grateful."

These, of course, were preliminary figures. The final results of June 30 were $47,774 from 110 donors. And to each of them classmates, widows, other relatives, and friends - the class of 1922 bows in gratitude for Dartmouth.

The "Wearers of the Green" dinner on April 27 at Boston's Westin Hotel was proclaimed "really heartwarming" by the 1,100 Dartmouth faithful who attended. The purpose was to honor some 400 Dartmouth alumni who have excelled athletically as Olympians, All-Americas, World and National Champions, Hall of Fame members, and major league professionals. Representatives of 35 sports, ranging from outfielders to linebackers to runners to trapshooters, were included.

The class of '22 can well take pride in its classmates listed in the impressive memorial program. Our Twoters were Red Boyd, three years golf captain and All-America; JohnnyCarleton, Hall of Fame and Olympian skier (Phi Beta Kappa and Rhodes Scholar); MaiClarke, five times National Senior Tennis Champion (also Phi Beta Kappa); SandySanders, two years tennis captain and Intercollegiate Champion; and the following team captains: Dick Bowler, skiing; Art Coakley, cross country; Ken Libbey, track; Mario Mesquita, soccer; Tommy Tracy, baseball; and class son Bob Rex, 1954 football captain.

Of many remarks from the dinner, one was especially pleasing to old-time alumni. Gail Koziara 'B2, former captain of women's basketball, all-time leading scorer in the Ivy Leagues, captain of women's track, and AllAmerica, said, "Even after you graduate you feel like you're still part of Dartmouth. It's as if you never left. I don't think there are too many other colleges like that." Maybe even now, some old-timers have mixed feelings about co-education, but they haven't yet met girls like Gail.

Jere R. Daniell II '55, professor of history at Dartmouth for the past 20 years and son of our Warren Daniell, has been honored by the Board of Trustees' designation to the endowed chair, Class of 1925 Professorship. After being valedictorian of his Dartmouth class, jere earned an A.M. in 1960 and a Ph.D. in 1964, both from Harvard. He teaches "The United States 1863-1977," "Colonial America," "The Age of the American Revolution," and "19th- and 20th-century New England." He is the author of Colonial New Hampshire, a book in the History of American Colonial series, Eleazar Wheelock and the Dartmouth College Charter, and Experiment in RepublicanismNew Hampshire Politics in the American Revolution. Jere has also been faculty representative on the Dartmouth Alumni Council. Congratulations from '22 to Jere and Warren.

Eric D. Mountcastle, grandson of our Wally Mountcastle, was 1922's admirable graduate at Commencement on June 10. Eric was graduated summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, and winner of the John Ebers Prize, awarded to the most deserving geology student as determined by the geology department. What words can praise a young man like that?

Recent losses of classmates have been severely sorrowful. Norton Vounglove, JohnHazeltine, Horace Shepard, Maurice Saunders, John Fancher, Chris Suttmeier, and Dr. Ronald Hallett have left us. Obituaries will follow.

See you at the football games, we hope.
