34 "The Computer Revolution" Revisited

A former newsman finds it difficult to trade up from his "rebuilt Royal upright" typewriter to a PC. And worse, that even among his contemporaries, there is precious little support for his dilemma. Illustrations by John Tonseth.

Charles E. Widmayer and Howard Coffin

36 The Class of 1930 Room Public Service Wall

When is a list more than a list? Charlie Widmayer '30 gives some background and College News Service's Howard Coffin profiles a handful of Dartmouth men who have served their towns, cities, states, and country in various ways, and with varying degrees of success.

John F. Anderson

42 "Little Joe" Wentworth, 1900: Scholar, Athlete, Gentleman

A portrait of the man whose stellar football teams haunted Ohio State's highly-regarded eleven in the early 1900s. More than just a scholar and a gentleman, "Little Joe" became a first-rate trial lawyer and a prominent figure in his ancestral home back East in Massachusetts.

Jim Kenyon

44 Geared for Success

One Dartmouth duo who made their name in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles are sisters. They are also fifth generation Big Greeners who serve as positive reminders of what coeducation has done for the College.
