1951

" '51 Looks at the Quantum Revolution in Economics and Technology" is the sixth and latest in a continuing series of Eanel discussions our class as offered each Dartmouth Night weekend since 1984. This fall's program on Saturday, October 14, from 9:00 to 10:45 a.m. in Wilder Hall, will offer views of the impact of micro- and macro-physics upon us today and in the future. Participants will include the following members of our class: Mary Scott, a member of the Physics Department at Bryn Mawr; Stu Johnson a physicist-consultant for business and industry; and Mort Briggs, a specialist in science history at the University of Rhode Island. All members of the Dartmouth community may attend.

One of last year's panel experts was LoyeMiller, who participated in the " '5l Looks at the 'BB Election" from his perspective then as press secretary to Education's William Bennett. Since that time Loye has served Richard Thornburgh at the Justice Department, and has now become director of public information for the Northrop Corporation's D.C. office, his task, no doubt, to help them with their "B-2 or not B-2" dilemma.

Al Mori has been busy as our 40th Reunion chairman far in advance of our appearance there in June 1991. He writes that he and his co-chairman Joe Boissy now have their reunion committee in place: Peirce McKee, registration; Dave Hall (Hanover), treasurer; and Jack Sutton, attendance. These five and several other classmates who will be volunteering their help will be planning to make ours the best of all 40ths.

J. Moreau Brown '39 has sent along a clipping from the San Francisco Examiner which details Mike Heyman's decision to step down as chancellor of UC-Berkeley next June. After Dartmouth, Mike took a law degree from Yale, and went on to serve as chief clerk to Chief Justice Earl Warren; thereafter, he was vice chancellor at Berkeley for six years before acceding to its top post in 1980. During his years in that position, Mike has faced all the issues and much of the turmoil that have touched other key centers of higher education: affirmative action, ethnic studies, political protests, expansion, housing, and budget. According to UC president David P. Gardner, "Under Mike's capable and committed leadership, the Berkeley campus has experienced a period of unexpected growth, significant changes in its academic programs and in the racial mix of its student body, and an enhancement of its reputation as one of the world's leading centers of learning." Furthermore, Mike has increased fundraising during his tenure from $31 million to $l00 million per year. After next spring, Mike plans to take a year's sabbatical and then return to teach full time at Berkeley's law school and its city and regional planning department.

In rereading our Aegis summary of our 1947-51 years by Dave Wiggins and Ed Clark '52, I was struck by some things we took for granted: a town full of elm trees, daily mail service to the dorms, Captain Goudreau's long view of our shenanigans, and the pervasiveness of the Korean War.

Take care, be good to yourselves, and

keep in touch.
